hyperemesis sufferers unite!

[Dream.A.Dream]

I'm the same. I had a couple of days where I managed to keep some food down, but then as of friday the puking is back. And I fainted. Eeek. I've not tried to eat today, it seems easier just not to bother, but I know I need to eat for bubs.

How are you today? xx

Mine started just prior to 5 weeks (I thought I had a nasty tummy bug!) and here I am potentially days/weeks away from birth (and on bedrest...urgh!) There are tough moments but the time does go by and in a way you do adjust. Even after having been so sick for so long Ive still enjoyed pregnancy (ok not whilst with my head in a bucket/toilet etc but in the short spaces between when not actually BEING sick!) I think when you get close to the end it suddenly dawns on you what a short amount of time it is and afterwards...well, it will be forgotten about in seconds.

I agree with that above completely It is a nightmare, and you do have days were you feel you'll never get through it, but eventually you do start to enjoy feeling LO move etc, and I'm already thinking about number 2, even if it meant being sick daily for 9 more months xx

Hey Girls!

Well I have been diagnosed with hyperemesis today and I feel TERRIBLE lol!

I have completely lost my appitite which makes me feel sick because im hungry, but when I do eat that comes back to! Im in a constant stae of sickness!! Gutted!

This is the furthest i have ever got in pregnancy by 3 days, and im so worried that me constantly puking up my baby aspirin and vitamin tablets is going to result in the same thing!

Gosh! why does it have to be so hard to grow a baby lol xxx

The one thing I would say, is that I know nothing is guaranteed but the way I looked at my sickness, and the way one nurse explained it to me is if you're constantly being sick it shows that your hormones are doing what they should be so hopefully in this case it could be a good sign. I worried a lot about bubs not getting what he needed etc, but have been reassured lots of times that baby will always take what they need from you, so you will feel crap, but they will be okay xx

Sorry to hear you're suffering jasa. I second what Katy has said about the baby will get what they need from you. You just need to watch you're not getting dehydrated.

Katy - I find it easier to just not eat but I know I'm better eating and keeping it down for a while than getting nothing in at all xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Well, I'm off to hospital in a min for monitoring because not felt bubs move today and I'm worried. xx

Katy - I'm doing ok-ish today. Only had toast right enough but I've not been sick. Feeling really nauseas though.

How are you? xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I haven't tried to eat still.

Was bad yesterday though.

Glad you're having an okay day, although for me the feeling sick is almost worse than the being sick xx

 

[teal]

Sending you hugs

I also find the feeling sick can be worse at times than actually being sick.

On the plus side February is getting closer xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

It is indeed I only have 12 weeks left, maximum 14, so I just have to think of it that way xx

Awww thanks, I can't wait until I have my LO here like you and can hopefully come back and post to cheer up others xx

I hope you don't mind be popping into your thread, I had a extreme case of HG with my DD who is now nearly 8. I was in hospital for nearly all my pregnancy and hardly spent anytime at home as I needed IV drips all the time and also was drip fed. I weighed 2 stone less after my daughter was born than I did before I got pregnant. I am ttc at the moment and I should go to the doctors to get an action plan in place in case however my Ob advised me not to have another baby as I would most likely be ill again. It has taken me this long to be ready again and I am worried about what they will say if I go to the doctors. When I was pregnant they accused me of making myself sick, to harm the baby or because I didn't want to gain weight which hurt so much.

I really want to experience the fun side being pregnant though, I couldn't even go shopping for baby things, I want to have normal morning sickness and strange cravings.

 

[anothersquish]

honeybee, I cant believe you were treated that way, how horrid.
I have to admit Ive been nothing but supported and understood regards my sickness. I have lost over 5 stone in weight (good job I was tubby to begin with!) and have been in and out of hospital (and given ensure drinks....yeah right like I could keep those nasty things down!) but not once have I been accused of being sick purposefully etc Ive not had one 24 hour slot where I havent been sick since week 5 but I can honestly say that despite that and other complications I have enjoyed my pregnancy (perhaps because it took five years TTC??!!) and I dont think there is any reason why you cant even if you are unfortunate enough to suffer again.
Maybe times have changed since you had your daughter and you will find a more supportive health service.....certainly plenty of support on BnB

 

[honeybee91]

hi thank you for your reply. I am really happy to read that you have had such brilliant support. It does give hope that their is better support & treatment now. I think if I had the support and proper treatment it would be much easier and I wouldn't have to spend so much time in a hospital.

Oh this is a funny one , the funniest thing they accused me off was being addicted to Cyclizine, that one makes me laugh still.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy, hope your not suffering to much.
