hyperemesis sufferers unite!

you know what, when I moaned in here that i was having a bad pregnancy people would bite my head off, and I understand them also but I felt bad even complaining . You have a right to complain. I wasnt expecting what I got, I didnt hear of anyone who had the same as me I thought there was something wrong with me. I puked for about 37 weeks (I started being sick on week 5 just after I found out and had no warning just a made dash to the loo) and I was over due and had to be induced in the end and I was still throwing up ffs!

I got the burst blood vessils on my eyes and around my forhead from the pressure of being sick, my throat would bleed and was cut form whatever I was eating so i found it hard to swallow. I made arrangmenst to just eat soft food that i could throw up again, no cereal in the morning for me. Not unless I wanted to choke to death .

And it is tirning! it uses so many muscles in your body to be sick not to mention how crap you feel to!

I wish I had of enjoyed pregnancy, I feel it was wasted with me moaning but what could I do?? I wanted to be one of them glowing women who waltze about all happy looking who never puke :( didnt get it. least if i get preg again i know what I am in for this time. And maybe i may not be sick as they say every pregnancy is different.

pregnancy is not a walk in the park so moan away your entitled to.
 
has anyone had the nerve to say to you " you should be enjoying this not complaining and being sick"? I had a few say that to me. As if it was my fault I was throwing up and could stop and go as i wanted.
 
I just get a lot of people not believing me. My other problem is my bump is getting quite big already, so it's hard to physically get next to the toilet to throw up xx
 
haha yeah, i remember how hard it was to actually kneel at the loo and be sick at full term..while peeing myself and having a nosebleed lol. its all so glam!
 
LOl you wont know what end to put on the loo! I had dioreaha and bad in the first tri so I was on the loo crying in cramps and being sick and my other half came in, its not the way I wanted him to see me at all! on the loo and throwing up on a towel. Charming.
 
its like having a bad tummy bug for 9 months!! the same people who tell you that its only morning sickness etc are the people who whinge and moan and complain about a 24hr bug!!
 
where are all them glamourous pregnant women that you see in magazines? that so wasnt me!
 
lol here is me glowing with the joys of pregnancy....

i think we can all agree i wasnt glowing or glam!!
 
rahh Dh means well but he's making me feel like having this is not as bad as it is. He's down playing it you know? It's his way of making me feel better.

I've literally just stopped ( with him stroking my hair) being sick ALL over the bathroom, sick streaming out my nose and mouth and having a coughing fit. Its just horrendous. I just want him to notice how terrible it is.

Eugh and other people I dont know if they think its funny or what, are saying things on purpose to make me gag and then laughing! :growlmad: certain meats evening mentioning them really make me gag and they know this. Why are people shits lol.

The stemstil has had no bloody effect, so back next week to try something else. Why is nothing working surely its not that bloody hard to make someone stop being sick :(

Hows everyone else been today? xxx
 
Aww, I was tempted to get someone to take a pic of the state I was in when I was on my drip but thought it might seem a bit of an odd request. I kept my hospital band though.

You look fab now though :) and Ruby is gorgeous xx
 
my oh took that pic so he could remind me how far id come when i strted to get better. i look at it quite often as it really does what he intended it to do!

the stemitil didnt do much for me either kit.. the truth is nothing seems to really help any of us much. i think its time they developed a new drug for us!

thats incredibly mean of your mates to actually try to make you ill.. they clearly have NO idea what its like.. the truth is no one does unless they have been there themselves...

I know the so called friends are being really horrid, and I'm one of those happy go lucky people who doesnt say anything to anyone if they've upset me lol. I might start snapping soon.

I just don't know why its so hard to have a drug that stops us being sick! rahhh! I took the stemitil at 6am this morning after being sick twice already and so far touch wood I havent been sick again. :thumbup: I still have terrible stomach pains and gagging but no actual being sick. So fingers crossed for today.

God this thread really helps lol :) so thankful its here! xxx
 
i guess its cos its so hard to actually test drugs in pregnancy... im not sure i would want to be the one to test it even tho id be glad to take it once aproved......
 
I was so sad to revisit this thread and see how many new HG faces there are :nope: even though it's fantastic you ladies can all give each other support, i still hate to think of those of you still going through it.

I feel lucky as my hyperemesis lasted only around 10 weeks, which felt like forever at the time, but compared to some of the ladies on here i know is nothing really!

I haven't been sick now since i was around 22 weeks, but i still suffer from horrendous acid reflux, even despite being on some amazing medication (i say amazing because of how much WORSE it is without it!) I frequently bring up acid into my mouth these days but no actual vomiting so i consider myself very lucky indeed.

Anyway i just wanted to send you all some big big hugs :hugs:
 
hey rebecca.. OMG look at your bump its fabulous!!! im jealous!!
how you feeling about things? xxx

It stopped after 10 weeks for you? Wow that really gives me hope I thought it always lasted 9 months. :hugs: thank you lol xxx
 
it can stop at any time, not everyone is as unlucky as me for the whole 9 months! in fairness itw as worse in the first tri and gradually went down to just throwing up at night, i did get a few days off near the end though.

has anyone said to you yet "your not sick your just pregnant"?
people said that to me when I wasnt well enough to go out! and it was snapped at me , then followed by " I didnt get that when i was pregnant or its just morning sickness wait till afternoon" wouldnt it be bliss if it did just stick to the morning.!
 
It would be bliss if it was just in the morning! The comments are really frustrating! Especially all the "you should really be feeling better by now" as if I have any control over it :(
