hyperemesis sufferers unite!

[Sovereign]

Ok so I suffered with my last pregnancy. I don't suppose there is anyone who has suffered and then hasn't in a subsequent pregnancy? Im hoping so much I don't have it again! x

i think the official odds are 75%... personally, i am TERRIFIED, its the only thing stopping me from TTC again! good luck, i really hope you get it easier this time hun!

I have had/having 3 babies and had it each time I'm afraid. It's horrendous. You do get more help in subsequent pregnancies though I can say that. If you want more kids I would say don't let it stop you. I am glad I didn't but totally understand why people do!!!!!

Good luck xxx

Hi Girls I hope you dont mind if I join you? I have just been diagnosed with this, and am going to try and read through the whole thread tomorrow and see if I can get any tips on anything that helped you guys. I am so worried for my baby. xxxx

Topsy your baby will be fine, HG affects the mother. My son was totally fine. From what I've read HG babies tend to be bigger than normal and that's about all.

Thanks Aaisrie, i have a lot to learn about this, i googled it last night which i am not sure was a good idea!

I managed to my tablet tablet yesterday and it stayed down, along with nearly 400 mls of sparkling water and 3 tuc crackers, DH then did me a jacket pot, but I had about 2 mouthfuls of this and started to feel sick. I just couldn't eat it. The crackers are the only thing that have stayed down since sun. I don't think he really gets it. He was huffing and puffing about doing the pot, saying his back hurt, ( yet i knew if I moved and did it I would just throw up ) and he just looked at me when I didn't eat it, as if to say well that was a waste of time. He is such an amazing hubby I just don't get it.His step dad is on holiday they sound like they are having a lovey time, trying new cider, DH is a cider fan, but he was like, "Oh I darent drink in case I have to take me to the hospital". I feel so guilty. He works so hard all day at work, I know that, but I cant help this.I feel like he thinks its my fault. Just makes me feel even sadder. I asked him to read one bit last night as i thought It may make him understand, he read and was just like "Ok" and flicked back to the footall site" He left 10 mins early for work this morning, i just feel like he doesn't want to be near me Oh god now I am crying.

I am sorry for the moan.

I hope everyone else is doing ok ish.

Dose anyone know if I just manage to keep sipping water will this be enough to keep the ketosis at just + or will it rise? My throats so sore from yesterday, I just dont really want to try and eat.I am just wondering if I don't try any food maybe I will be less sick. I don't know.

I'm having trouble with the keytones too I keep ending up on drips to you hun xxx

 

[Aaisrie]

The best thing for keeping ketones down are actually carbs but if you're able to eat any food it shouldn't rise.
Topsy my OH was EXACTLY the same at the start even telling me to get up and get on with things which would "make me feel better being productive and take my mind off it"!! He started to realise HOW sick I was and ended up being an amazing support the rest of my pregnancy - remember that as hard as it is to get our heads round HG it's harder for them because they don't get how sick HG makes you!!

 

[topsy]

to you to missmuffet, and to all the other girls on this thread xxx

Well this morning tablet, didn't stay down and neither did the water the top of my arms ache, i think it from holding on to the toilet when being sick, to stop myself swaying

Thanks again Aaisrie, if I do try anything it will be crackers, so at least that's carbs. MEN! He has sent about 4 lovely text messages since he has been at work, really thoughtful words, asking if I would prefer him to text on his break rather than ring- cause yesterday he rang when I was being sick, and crying, or in case I am asleep, saying he will go up the shop at lunchtime in case there is anything I fancy. maybe he just cant cope with physically seeing me like this. I don't know! His texts stopped me crying, though.

[MiissMuffet]

huni the tops of my arms are aching too. same as my legs. the muscles are pulled. i have no idea why

 

[topsy]

Aw hun its horrible isnt it. xxxx

 

[Aaisrie]

Topsy I think they can feel quite helpless because they can't do anything to stop you feeling like that and anything they do [like making the potato!] doesn't work and so they feel upset.

 

[topsy]

Yep Aaisrie your right. Thanks again

Well girls, i think I have ploughed through about half of this whole thread, just read a bit where someone said about sniffing lemon and lime, never thought of that! Well about 10 mins ago got my mum (she has popped into see me bless her) to add a squeeze of lemon to my sparkling water DH bought last night, and so far....ok only 10 mins... it has stayed down rather than coming back up, I am taking tiny sips through a straw~ my lips are so dry they keep bleeding and when I was taking sips from the cup all I could taste was blood, ew, which wasn't helping the sickness I have also ordered some ketostix stick things that someone suggested, rather than keep having to take wee samples up the Drs, cause that's all they really seem to do in the 4 times I have been, is check my urine and to be honest the whole getting up getting dressed, driving up there....stopping to be sick, just isn't worth it, at lest then I can test my own.


So thanks to all the girls that posted, these things will hopefully make this a little better.

On a plus point, got my medical exemption card today, so at least I wont have to keep shelling out for prescriptions, seem to work, having said that I think I would pay £££££ amount if anything stopped me being sick. I am off to have a sleep as feel sooooo tired.

[Aaisrie]

Topsy I had the ketostix, it meant I monitored at home until I hit +4 ketones and then went to hospital for rehydration

 

[topsy]

Thanks again, I was wondering how you measure them, looks like there is a colour chart on the side of the tube them come in.Hopefully they will come tomorrow or fri. Am keeping tiny amount of the spring water and lemon down, did have a sleep but woke up still feeling sick and with a headache. its pretty warm here today that's not helping!
