Hope everyone is doing ok

I've not posted in here for a while. I think it's because I've not been back in hospital. I'm still being sick every day and when I'm not being sick I'm feeling sick. I really hate the constant nausea. I didn't used to be this bad at night though I keep telling myself the end is in sight now.

Katy - I hope your follow appointment goes well tomorrow xx

I know how you feel. I decided to try eating a bit of chilli con carne last night because I really wanted it, boy was that a bad idea Sorry you're still ill I thought you were better and that's why you'd stopped posting in here xx

 

[teal]

Chilli con carne sounds like a bad idea When I do feel ok to eat something decent I decide what I'll have based on how horrible it's likely to be coming back up. Lovely

How is everyone?

I swear the MWs just like to tell me fibs. I asked her to check my ketones this morning because I felt awful, she said "oh yeah, just a trace" then I looked at my notes "Ketones ++" Not what I'd call a trace!! So now I'm worried that I might be dehydrated, but I have no sticks of my own. So will have to manage until Tues.

Fluid levels gone up a bit so that's good and baby is fine, although was being lazy so was on CTG for ages xx

 

[teal]

Glad to hear your fluid levels have gone up a bit and all is ok with your little one

Can't believe your midwife doesn't seem to take the dehydration seriously

I feel awful today. I couldn't even go to the second child birth class because kept being sick this morning. xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Oh no I missed all mine too. I hope you feel a bit better tomorrow.

For some reason my hospital just don't care that I'm dehydrated. If I still feel like this tomorrow I am going in whether they like it or not. I feel awful, fuzzy vision, thumping headache, urine so dark I can't even describe the colour of it...almost brown! Gonna take one of my tablets in a min and just hope I can get enough down to make me feel a bit better xx

 

[teal]

Katy - I hope you're feeling better today. If you're not I would definitely go in xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I managed about 5 tuc crackers and a litre of water last night so have fought off the ketones for a while I think xx

 

[teal]

Well done on managing something

 

[NIfirsttimer]

a litre is amazing! well done! that should keep you going for a day or two hopefully!

Yep, ketones today are only +1 so hopefully I'll be okay until I go in on Tues now xx

Good luck tomorrow Katy xxx

I'm back in work today, but noticed I seem very sick on the train, I've never had motion sickness beofre but I guess it just enhances the constant neausa?! The stemitil seem to be helping a lot, I'm keeping down majority of what goes in, but still can't manage too much or I am sick, but I'm guessing it's better to keep down small amounts than nothing at all! I feel like my body is fighting itself tho, I'm not being full on sick but I feel really sick and get to the point where I'm heaving and sometimes a little bit sick in my mouth (sorry TMI) but doesn't go further than that. Is this normal??

Oh and we had our scan saturday, we're on team pink! So excited and really has made up for all the sickness!

Katy- Thanks for updating here well done on the fluid!

Ttcbambino- congrats on the girlie!

So glad to be out of hospital lol. Mine are great with the hyperemesis but almost over cautious with me. I get pestered to eat alot to. Ketones were still 3+ when I left but I talked them into letting me go lol.

I'm having to fight my corner about the glucose tolerance test though, its a 3 hour test, so I cant eat anything from 10 pm the night before, its first thing in the morning ( mornings are horrendous for me) and I cant take my sickness tablets because I can't eat first. I keep refusing the test and telling them I would literally be covering the walls with vomit and yet they still think I am almost a naughty child! rahhh! The sickness isnt worth the test in my opinion.

Hope everyone else is good xxx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Congrats on team pink ttcbambino

Kitty- I never had to have a GTT. Surely they must understand that it's impossible to have one. You wouldn't even be able to keep the damn drink down

Feeling very apprehensive about my appointment tomorrow. I was so sick yesterday my throat was bleeding. I'm just going to tell the consultant when he asks how I am that I am just not coping with being so sick anymore. The last week or so I feel awful and really unhappy and tearful constantly and sometimes I just don't want to do anything anymore. Can't even bring myself to finish washing baby's stuff or get things ready because I'm always just that exhausted and down xx

 

[teal]

Kitty - I also never had to have a glucose tolerance test but I hope someone listens to you!

Katy - I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow Sorry to hear you were sick enough for your throat to be bleeding

 

[Kitty23]

Thanks Katy and Teal Katy I hope you get induced or a sweep soon.

I'm having the Gtt because I have a high bmi and that automatically makes you a candidate for it. They are really bugging me about it. My midwife completely understood. And my consultant is being a little turd about it! He keeps saying " we will talk about it" when I say I am refusing it. God I hate being treated like a child lol.

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Maybe just tell them you'll do it and then when you puke it back up they'll see what you mean? xx

 

[teal]

Katy - good luck today

Hope everyone is doing ok (or as ok as they can be) today xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Fed up.

Showing +++ ketones, but they've actually written in my notes that because "patient seems okay in themselves" they're just going to leave me and wait and see. Cervix is still unfavourable, so now I have to wait another week and then see. Got more scans on Fri and next Tues to keep monitoring fluid. Just really annoys me that if I went in and cried rather than trying to get on with stuff I'd prob have been induced, but because I don't complain enough I'm just being left xx
