[Mrs. Sosa]

Hey all. I was directed here by the first trimester forum. I was diagnosed today at the ER. It started at my 6th week and I am currently 11 weeks 5 days pregnant. They put me on IV's of Saline & Zofran. I have Zofran pills and a suppository at home, but they haven't worked quite as well. It's just so hard to keep the Zofran in my stomach long enough for it to start working, and the suppositories just made me queezy (I think just because of my preggy hormones which cause me to not want to be touched in those places or even touch myself in those places). But yeah, I'll keep y'all updated. It's good to know that I'm not the ONLY one. =(

Hi Mrs Sosa

Sorry to see you have HG I hope you find something that works for you so you're not suffering for too long.

This is a good place to come for support though xx

 

[Kitty23]

Happy New Year girls

mrs sosa - welcome over I hope you're not suffering for too long. This thread is great for support xx

I hope everyone else is doing ok. My sickness had eased off - enough for me to attempt to go back to work. It's getting worse again though. It would come and go but I've been up sick the past three nights and generally feeling awful with nausea during the day. Noticed as the bump is getting bigger and baby is quite high up it's awkward being sick

Assuming I don't get signed off this is going to be my last week at work anyway so hopefully I can power on until next Friday xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Happy New Year everyone

Teal- I know what you mean about it being hard to be sick as bump gets bigger. It's so hard to get close enough to the loo!

Good luck with going back to work, although if you've only got a week left and you're still feeling awful is it really worth pushing yourself to go back? xx

I went back to work at the beginning of December. So it's been about 4 weeks now. They've been able to slide my shifts so I'm not working any later than 5pm which has helped xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Ah right, sorry, I must have read that wrong

What do you work doing? xx

 

[teal]

I work for the business side of a mobile phone company so it's mostly admin based xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I have to come in here to do this to save me getting in arguments elsewhere ARGH! xx

Hi Mrs Sosa - sorry you also have HG, fingers crossed you get the meds that help you get through it ok - thinking of you x

Kitty - Congratulations! how perfect one of each x x

Katy - you sound very fed up. Big hugs to you x

Teal - One more week to finish work yipppeeeee! That's great news and well done to have got back to work.

Well after receiving a letter from boss before christmas telling me I was going on half pay due to being off poorly I became more poorly and stressed. Am under control a bit, but feel forced to return to work. I have managed to work my shifts into 5 hours a time and one full day (I have two p/t jobs) and am returning on 7th to one and 11th on the other. I really don't know how I'm going to do it.

I've sold it in my mind, like I am everything at the moment. If I can manage work the days will go quicker and the end will get here quicker! Do you guys do that? For me I couldn't wait till Christmas! Not because of it being Christmas, but because it the half way mark. I've now got builders in from tomorrow for a month and then with work I'm thinking head for things 2 - 4 weeks each time and I'll feel like I'm getting there quicker. Such a shame we can't enjoy our pregnancies.

Anyway, love to you all,

Barking

 

[teal]

Katy - I hope you're ok

Barking - Sorry to hear that you feel forced to go back to work. I hope you manage ok When are you thinking of starting your mat leave?

I found the run up to Christmas and New Year really made the last few months there go in so fast. I can't believe we are back to January now!

Sickness is definitely returning. That was me up again through the night. I feel exhausted now but too nauseas to sleep so I gave up and got up. I hated the sickness before but I really hate being sick with the ever growing bump

 

[barking]

Oh Teal how awful for you x Thankfully you are on the homeward run now - not sure if that makes it easier getting through the sickness though?

I found out last week that I have a fair amount of holiday still to take, so I'm hoping to work 4 weeks, have two weeks off then work 4 weeks, and then take the rest of my holiday before mat leave starts. I should be around 30 weeks when I finish the main job with the NHS. The one with school is a totally different ball game, I'll try to continue that as long as I can as I love it! x

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Teal- It's really difficult towards the end isn't it. Straining to throw up, with baby wriggling around and pressing on your insides, not being able to get close enough to the loo. Urgh, it's horrible Do you think you'll be able to manage your last week of work? Or are you gonna be going back to the docs?

Barking- I'm sorry you feel you have to go back to work, I hope you enjoy being back though and it's not too hard. Sounds good that you have lots of holidays left so that should help

Sorry for last night's rant, I asked a question in 3rd tri because I was trying to figure out what size dress to order for something I'm going to between 4-8 weeks after LO arrives and made a point of saying that due to chronic sickness I hadn't quite got back to pre preg weight yet and yet still someone decided to reply saying I should count myself lucky that I hadn't gained any weight. FFS, I'd take gaining 3 or 4 stone over not having eaten a full meal for 7 month anyday Some people just don't think xx

For me it does and doesn't all at the same time, you know the end is in sight, but at the same time I've completely forgotten what it was like to eat normally, I can't remember far enough back to before the HG and then the 7 or 8 weeks left feel like a lifetime still xx

Big hugs

Katy - I seen that and thought that's what got to you. Some people just don't understand at all

Barking - I think it does help knowing I'm in the final stretch but sometimes I just don't think like that. My GP told me to always focus on feeling better once I have my baby and I know a lot of the women on here have felt better right after the birth. I think it's more tiring now because I'm already feeling drained and it's harder to be sick with a bigger bump. Not sure I'm making sense!

I managed work today. I barely slept last night again but was only sick a few times during the day. I feel awful though. My eyes are all red with black circles

I keep telling myself it's only one more week (or 3.5 days now).

I feel really down that the sickness is returning to how it was before. I should be glad it eased off for a few weeks - the sickness never left but it wasn't as often as it was.

I hope you girls are doing ok today xx
