hi laura really sorry your going thru this i wouldnt wish it on anyone just try concentrating on your fluids ice cubes ice pops ice lollies sipping water i no fluids are hard to keep down but at least there not to bad on the way bk up, i carnt bear the lumps in food it really scares me being sick.

How are you louise your almost 37 weeks oh gosh any day and this hell will be over!

Im not to bad today havent been sick today felt it at times but managed to keep food down im getting pains though upper legs on the inside and my bump feels heavy and dragging down at the bottom of my tummy it feels like my pelvis is being crushed and its so painful to walk, also baby been sat on my bladder most of the day seems to have moved posistion now though it doesnt feel so bad but earlier was awful im really struggling with all the walking back and forth nursery im bidding on a birthing ball at the min on ebay.
 
I can keep absolutely nothing down. It's the worst pain I've ever felt in my entire life. :(
 
hey to laura and justincase... glad you found us.. but sorry you have had to join us. its really really REALLY horrible...
there are some good tried and tested tips in this thread so its worth a read thru when you have a spare time, and the energy to read it all...
im kat, i had hyperemesis from week 4ish right to the bitter end, with a few days respite around week 24 (i think)
i started throwing up on 6th november, and finished the day my daughter was born.. 9th july! there were most definetly times that i thought i couldnt go on.. and times that i didnt want to go on either.. its lonely and very hard to be so sick for so long, but the good news is that DOES go away!!! some ladies are lucky and get a good bit of relief as their pregnancies progress.. so think positive!!
the best advice i can give you is ...
* to totally forbid yourself from thinking '9 months of this' just take each day as it comes, each hour if days are too long. The key to surviving this is to stay strong and fight it hard!
* to accept ANY help you are offered, from partners, friends, family. dont try to be going to work & doing housework etc. you need to preserve every calorie you can keep down, so dont waste them on housework! if you dont get offered help then ASK for it!
*if you cant keep food down forget about it, its the fluids that are important, so work real hard on finding a way of getting those in... if you cant, you need to see you GP asap. dehydration is what gets you, the food you can do without, the fluids u cant. most of us end up in hospital for rehydration, and although it really helps, you want to avoid it if you can!
* feel free to moan on here! its hard for people to understand if they havent been there, we all have, so we know how you feel!

i hate posting this bit cos its like rubbing it in for you girls who are still suffering.. but there IS light at the end of the tunnell.. i have a gorgeous baby girl now, and although i NEVER thought id say this.. she really honestly is worth it! The minute i delivered the placenta i felt amazing! it lifted straight away, and i was eating mcdonalds within an hr! i promise.. you WILL get better xxxxx

Hi girls. :)

I thought I would drop by this thread and say hello, as I just posted in another one about HG. I've been meaning to come and introduce myself for a while, but blahh, just haven't had the energy - I'm sure you know what I mean.

I'm not sure when it started, as I seemed to feel queezy 2 days after BD and it just gradually got worse and worse from there. I was diagnosed at 12 weeks when my midwife recognised that I might be dehydrated, and I ended up in hospital for the next three days. Bump_wanted, I just wanted to say to you don't be too put off about going into hospital. I really didn't want to, but it was just the best thing. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever enjoyed a meal more than the hospital egg salad I had after getting some fluid and anti-emetics in me! It was actually also great just to be able to rest for 3 days. Although I'd been pretty much bedridden in the week or so before I went in, there was so much stuff I *should* have been doing. To rest with no guilt was heaven. :)

I've been pretty lucky in that the cyclizine and metaclopramide I've been taking since then are keeping things in better check. I still feel sick and get sick, but to a much lesser extent. This I can cope with. Drugs are my friend. :D I really don't think the underlying sickness is getting any better at all though - in fact worse if anything. I seem to feel worse and be throwing up more in the last couple of weeks. I did manage to brush my teeth yesterday without throwing up and felt a major sense of achievement. :happydance: Small victories!

People keep telling me I'll probably start feeling better soon, but at this point I've kind of given up hope. I saw a different midwife the other day as mine was away and she said I might start feeling better ~20 weeks, but that I should expect it to come back in the final weeks of pregnancy. I guess this is more realistic. I'm going on holiday from 21-23 weeks and I so want to be able to enjoy it. I also don't want to spoil it for my husband, Peter, because I'm too weak or sick to do much walking around and by crashing out early in the evening. :( The rest of the trip, we'll be staying with his family, so it should be a bit easier, but we'll still have a ton of travelling. I also have to do the flight out there by myself, as he's flying out a few days earlier for a conference and I'm meeting him when it's over. Not looking forward to a long haul flight on my own and feeling like shit. :( Peter really needs this break too as he has been completely strung out recently, trying to complete his doctoral thesis, which will be done then. As much as I want to be able to have a good holiday myself, I really don't want him to be able to have a good idea and just hope I'm not going to be a complete party pooper and get really ill.

Wow, when I started this post, I thought I was going to be brief! :P Sorry guys.

NIFirsttimer, thank you so much for still coming back here to give support and for sharing pics of Ruby. She's an absolute sweetheart. I really hope we all get good babies like her. I already have a few bones to pick with this one when it gets here about being so mean to Mummy. :haha:
 
Hi new girls! Sorry that you have ended up on this thread. I was an early Hyperemesis sufferer myself. You can read my own whingings round about the beginning of this thread. I was one of the lucky ones where it sort of lifted round about week 14 or so for me. It hasn't completely gone away as some days I still feel sick and sometimes actually am sick, but nothing like it was. Kat has given some excellent advice about managing HG. Take all the help you can get and never feel guilty about spending whole days in bed if you are able to! I hope it goes soon and you start to enjoy your pregnancies.

And I'm getting to meet the gorgeous Ruby and Kat on Friday!!! :happydance:


Chin up wee pets!

Sam have a great time on Friday, are you's going anywhere nice? I wish I could come too but just not an option at the mo and I have my scan on Friday, dreading just travelling up there as things are just getting really hard again, though I'm hoping something will happen before then if I'm lucky as I'm just so fed up with all the crap, it's just been one thing after another and one hell of a long 8 months. I need it to be over now!
 
We need it to be over for you too, Louise as my heart breaks every time I read one of your updates! Is there any change they might induce you very soon to put you out of your misery? Good luck for the scan on Friday. Is this to check growth progress and dates again?

Kat and I are just going for a coffee in the shopping centre I got my BFP in!! LOL. I have bought a couple of her maternity items off her and if I don't pay up soon, she's going to do something nasty to me I fear! She's bringing Ruby along and I'm so looking forward to meeting this little darling and getting a cuddle (if her proud Mum lets me!) I really wish you were able to come along too, but understand that it's just not feasible for you. Nevertheless, we will meet up soon when you have had your Bubs too and I'll have a baby in each arm to cuddle until my own comes along in December. Right?!

Much love

Oh that'll be good Sam then me and Kat can have our cuppas while you coo over the babies lol!!
Yeah the scan's to check the growth again as last one 2 weeks ago the tummy was measuring small so if there's not enough of a change they might have to induce me - sounds terrible but I wish they would. I'm going to say to them about the pelvic pain (which was so bad this morn when I tried to get out of bed as bubs must have engaged further) blood tests and itchiness too and see if they will do something for me as I'll be just past 37 weeks on Friday so it should be safe then - if blood tests come back normal which sometimes they can but itchiness is still bad they will sometimes induce you anyway as the other tests to test bile acid levels can take a week or more to come back and they usually like to induce you by around 38 weeks if it is OC but will have to wait and see what happens. Bloods should be back this afternoon so I'll know a bit more then at least about what to do.
Woke up this morning and didn't feel as sick as yesterday but can feel it creeping up on me now it's horrible. I'm now getting to point I want Stephen at home with me all the time but I know he has to work and I can't really complain as his work have been great about it (his bosses wife is a midwife) and he has been able to take me to all my appointments etc. I never thought it was possible to feel worse than the HG alone makes me feel and my GP is so crap that in that way I'm looking forward to my hospital appointment as the midwifes up there are lovely and actually listen to you.
Hope you have a lovely time on Friday and try not to steal Ruby off Kat though think she would do something very painful to you if you tried lol! xx
 
No results for me I'm fuming the bloody surgery is only closed this afternoon and no one is answering the phones so looks like I just have to wait another day! Thank God I have the hospital on Friday. Hope everyone else is ok today xxx

Bluddy bumsticks! Not good enough, but yes, at least you have the back up of a hospital appointment. I hope you get what you want. Inductions aren't really that bad. I've had two and if it alleviates your suffering and brings the hyperemesis to an end a little early, then go for it, Hun.

How are we all today? I'm feeling pretty crappy today, just feel so ill, wasn't sick yesterday but feel more sick than when I am if that makes sense. Finding it hard to eat at minute at all and I am in so much pain my back is in agony and my ribs are so sore everytime baby moves, Hubby says it's hardly surprising given that he can feel every rib in my body sticking out and that my bump is so small as my ligaments etc just haven't stretched enough. Still waiting on blood results - already called twice this morning and they're still not there so have to wait til after 2 now, Thank God I have hospital tomorrow maybe they can find out for me while there, might beg them to induce me cos can't take much more and though of going overdue is too much esp if bubs gets any bigger I will end up with broken ribs!!

Here's my 37 week bump this morning

aw god your GP is crap when this is all over if u have the energy you should complain to them properly over the crap care you have recieved, your bump is probs not much bigger than mine now and there is 13 weeks in it your so tiny i hope they induce you i think u should push for it xxxx
 
Hi girls hope you don't mind me posting, I have been lurking on here for a few weeks now, and I wish I had a thread like this on my other forum to help my through my 2 pregnancies.

I have 2 dd's, nearly 3 and nearly 1. I have to say though that you ladies are very strong and brave and I can't imagine how tough it must be because I did get hyperemesis and got admitted into hospital for a few days but it did calm down soon after and then it almost completely disappeared after about 20 weeks. I wasn't as bad as you all, but it was horrid feeling too ill to get out of bed!

The thing is I have been feeling a bit broody the last few months and I have been trying to read about hyperemesis to make the broodiness go away lol, then I found this thread! I always said I won't go through it ever again (my first 2 were not planned) but I am getting this feeling again telling myself it's only the first couple of months! I get sooo jealous of girls that don't get any sickness symptoms at all, wish I could be one of them :cry:
 
Yes, good luck Louise. We have been thinking about you today, love. Hope all has gone well at the hospital and that you have some good news to share with us soon.
