I only escaped induction because of a flat tire on the car!! Skin of the teeth stuff but I swear it was just meant to be, fate took pity on me and broke the car just to delay us the few hours I needed!

Oh and I seem to remember somewhere earlier in this thread a comment was made about hyperemesis babies being good...well its true in Theos case. Hes been completely amazing. Slept at least 4 hours solid at night every night since birth, putting weight on perfectly, feeding perfectly and is super content...only time he cries is when hes got wind.

I take one like that please :lol:

Does seem to me like that's meant to be that you managed to avoid induction xx
 
Fed up today. Starving hungry, shaking like a leaf...can't keep any food down :hissy: xx
 
Hello.

I am so glad I have found this site. I am approx 11 weeks pregnant (still waiting for my dating scan) and am also suffering from severe morning sickness. I started feeling queezy a few weeks after i found out, and it just got worse from there. I haven't been to work for 6 weeks and for the past week I havent got out of bed and everything I have tried to eat has come straight back up again. Midwife advised me to keep drinking water and if it got no better in 2 days I had to have bloods to see if I needed to go in hospital. My appointment for that is tomorrow. I pretty much feel alone even though my mum is supporting me. I feel like everyone thinks I am 'putting it on' as every pregnant woman gets morning sickness, no one has said this to me, maybe its just me being paranoid.
I have been on the internet all week and have just found this site and joined, I feel so much better knowing that I am not the only person going through this.
I am so upset because I really want this baby and am miserable. One of my friends is a month ahead of me, and she is fine, just had abit of sickness but could still eat and is so excited about her baby and I am just miserable.

I just wanted to ask ... i am worried for my baby that it isn't getting any nutrients and will have problems... does anyone know if this is true?

and also does it get worse as time goes on or does it stay the same ?

Thank you for reading/replying/helping xx
 
Just curious, when did first signs of morning sickness (before teh hyperemesis) kick in? I think it was 5.5 weeks when I was actually into hyperemesis land. so far no nausea at all, and just a sensitive gag, but no nausea.....any chance it could be third time lucky and I'll just have regular pregnancy ailments?
 
Hi Holly :wave:

Sorry to hear you're suffering. I'm nearly at the end of my pregnancy now and have had hyperemesis throughout. I personally haven't had a single day of not vomiting, but it isn't this bad for everyone and not everyone is sick for this long :hugs: For the majority of people it will usually have stopped by about 20 weeks, however it probably is best to be prepared that for some people it does last throughout.

Try not to worry too much about baby, they're very resilient and will happily take all that they need from you. You will suffer before they do, and that's why you feel so rubbish. Baby is taking all your good stuff and leaving you with nothing.

For me I was at my worst from weeks 5-12 and then again from about 30 weeks onwards. In the middle period I managed to keep down maybe one small meal or some snacks each day, but would still be sick morning and evening. I have been admitted for a drip twice, once at 6 weeks and once at 34 weeks. I almost got admitted last week but managed to talk my way out of it :lol: (I hate hospitals) xx
 
Temg- Fingers crossed. For me I was actually vomiting from about 3+2, but I didn't even know I was pregnant then so thought I was just ill or my old reflux problem had flared up.

Also, I've started losing my plug :yipee: So any labour dust will be gratefully received xx
 
ooooh Katy!! How exciting, sending you loads of labour dust!!! Remember to come back on here and tell us how amazing it is to stop being sick lol xxxx
 
oooooohh the plug is gone!!! yipppeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
hes getting ready! dont forget to text when anything happens!!
i started getting sick at about 4weeks i think.... properly sick from 6ish....

holly.... that is our NUMBER ONE concern.. but honestly, our babies are perfect!
this is a LONG thread, but if you read back to the start, you will see how miserable and ill we were.. me, craftymum, stilleto_sam, claire999, and all of us have gorgeous, happy healthy babies now, with not one problem between them!
hyperemesis is horrendous for us mummies, but our babies do just fine in there... they might be a little petite, but thats about it! (and we seem to have lovely labours too!!)
hang in there girls xxxx
 
Got fingers crossed for you Katy...MUCH labour dust!!!

My LO is perfectly fine as well, he was also a very healthy weight (9lb) and I was sick numerous times every day from week 5 til hours before I gave birth and lost serious amounts of weight. I think I 'felt ill' earlier than that but I didnt actually realise I was pregnant til 8 weeks+ I thought I had a nasty bug that was kicking my backside..opps.

I was so worried about baby and cant believe hes perfectly ok, he had what he needed even if I didnt!! The other thing I worried about was milk supply, I was very concerned that my milk wouldnt come in but it has and hes put on 9oz since birth as of Friday (ten days old) so thats all positive. Its tough getting enough in to keep the milk supply up and put on weight (Im underweight atm) but it is happening, its just going to be slow, hopefully by summer I will look like a normal human though!
 
hi i had hyperemesis with my first pregnancy, wil i have it again wit future pregnancys. Ugh it was torture, i lost a stone and a half in 3 weeks with it
 
Thank you for your replys! Funny thing wasn't too bad on Saturday and Sunday... still ill but not as bad and then went straight back to being ill today, and apparently i'm 'letting it happen again !' How do you 'let' any of this happen to you !! And also I am 'stuck in a rut' Like I am putting all this on for effect !!
 
Thank you. I really am worried about nutrients, I think if I knew that my baby would be fine I could cope with this alot better, I'm not concerned with me just don't want my baby to suffer.

What were you keeping down on a daily basis?

Thanks xx
 
On an average day I keep down probably just under a litre of weak squash and a slice of toast/piece of bread.

I have "good days" where I manage a few pieces of toast, or a biscuit or two as well. As soon as I try proper food though I tend to be sick, although I do still try and eat normally sometimes.

So fed up today, having pains that become pretty frequent when walking but when I sit down they ease right off. Been having them since 10am, they are slowly getting more "ouchy". They're around every 15 mins at the moment I think xx
 
Hi Katy.

How long have you got left to go till you meet your little one?

Today I have had a grapefruit and 4 pieces of celery, oh and water.
 
Well I have 2 days left to my due date. The hospital were keen to induce me at one point and then changed their mind. I guess at the very most I have 2 more weeks to go, since they induce here once you're 14 days overdue.

That's not too bad food wise, I can't stomach fruit at all, too acidic. I tend to go for carbs to give me a bit of energy xx
