Angeldreams, you can find my scan by going to my name, chick (Topsy) on the left hand side of this post and go clicking on it, and go to "find more post by topsy" and I called it "scan guess please". then you should be able to see it-Thanks xxxt

I haven`t asked about peppermint tea, will do though really i will try anything if it has a chance of working Have an appointment at Drs in an hour, see what they say today. when i could eat last night I ate toast and honey and jelly sweets so hopefully will have kept enough ketones out of my wee with that sugar and carbs and wont need to go back in. FX.

Take care girls xxx

Dearest Topsy,

Thank you for sharing your adorable scan...I didn't know a thing about the skull theory, but ended up finding a pretty neat step-by-step explanation...fun stuff! Interestingly enough, looking back at my boys' ultrasounds, it does ring true! I plan on trying to predict what this little one's gender will be! Thanks for letting me join in w/ you and your hyperemesis gals...it hasn't set in yet for me, but I do know what to expect thankfully, and it does pass leaving you w/ the ultimate reward!

Stay strong and my best regards to all!

 

[topsy]

Thanks for looking Hun.

Glad the HG hasn't set in for you, I have EVERYTHING crossed it stays that way.

DH birthday today, i will be sitting munching on toast while he eat Pizza, feel really sorry for him, we are not doing anything. i am just not up to it. great first birthday he is having the 1st year we are married! His mum wants us to go round there at the weekend. i was just like No sorry, sofa, bathroom and bed are my limit.

Ohhh Just realised I am a peach xxxx

 

[MiissMuffet]

I hope you feel better soon topsy.

I'm feeling alot better some of the time i have managed to do washing and dishes lol. Even went to the shops tonight!


Yay for peach! I'm a ugly prune

 

[topsy]

Miiss Muffet, so glad you are feeling a bit better, like I have said before i can even imagine having to cope with a 1 year old as well. bet it felt good to actually be able to get out.

Aw prunes can be cute too Take care Hun. xxxx

 

[angeldreams]

Awww Topsy, you're a peach! How very sweet that you can find something to be happy about when you're feeling the way you do! You are a delicate flower right now and I know you're hubby will understand that you won't be the party goer today! Happy bday to him...you all can celebrate when you're feeling better. Isn't that the worst part about HG? Not being able to eat a real meal when you're so hungry? You will eat again and it's the best feeling ever...people take it for granted!

You're such a sweet lady...you're going to make a great mom! As for me, at the moment, I'm finally feeling a bit nauseated...of course, all three of my boys are still home for summer break and I'm running low on having the desire to entertain...I'm taking it minute by minute...hope your mother-in-law understands how debilitating HG is...I know how disappointing it is for those around you, especially when all they wish for is for you to get better! You'll have a wonderful time rekindling once this is over! I love the peach! How do you get that? I don't know what I am?

 

[angeldreams]

Hi MissMuffet!

Just saw your post...how is the hyperemesis going for you? I see that you're 10 weeks along, when did you first begin feeling the Hg? Do you believe you're over the hump at this time? If you are, many blessings! I suppose I can go back and read all prior posts, I'm trying to be hopeful and believe that not all pregnancies result in hyperemesis, but did you have it w/ your sweet daughter? Isn't it a whole other experience having Hg and taking care of a child? It seems almost impossible, but I always say that we're given "amnesia" so we'll do it again!

 

[topsy]

Thanks angeldreams xxx

DH ordered Pizza last night I shove a tablet down my a tablet down neck and had a slice, I was expecting to see it again but didn't and I ate some breakfast this morning, and DH has just microwaved me a plain jacket pot I am starving

Unfortunately MIL hasn't a clue even though she came round round last week and saw how ill I was. This weekend her friend are coming to visit and she wants us BOTH to go round for a meal as we owe it to her friends! i have never met them DH has once! we invited them to our wedding ( on her request, as she thought that was fair, once she found out that my dad was having his fishing friend come-BUT he paid for the whole reception, and 2 of his friend were my godparents and 2 my uncles!) anyway turns out they couldn't come in the end as they were already booked to go away. So she said we HAD to meet them next time they came down. Well that now! I think she thinks I can plan when i am ill!!! GRRRR!! Sorry for moan! I do love her, but I just wish she would understand, when i say I am not up to it, I really am not.

I got my peach thingy, from another site, I think if you click on it, it will take you to the site. I am not sure if I can use the name of the other site on a thread, But I will PM you it you hun.

How old are your boys hun? Do they pay well together or annoy each other? I can only imagen how hard it must be to keep them all entertained through the summer hols. Not sure where you are, over here in the England, think the children go back to school in about 2 weeks time.

Angeldreams- i'm doing ok at the mo, these meds are really helping. I havnt thrown up in a few days- the last time i did was coz i was really hungry. i would like to think I am over the hump- couple weeks ago, I couldnt stand any kind of smell, i didnt want to eat, i couldnt keep fluids down. now I just keep eating so i dont feel ill, i cant get enough of water and things are actually smelling good again. i can change a dirty nappy without heaving. I hope it stays this way, but its only been a few days, so I dont know if we are over the hill yet we shall see. I was very sick with #1. But i never got hospitalised or anything with her. In saying that I didnt have a toddler to run round after - that takes alot out of me. i slept most of the time. I dont get to do that this time. I felt nausious from day 1. Wierd, but true, i started gagging at things. Just before 6 weeks i starting feeling really ill and starting throwing up then i went down hill really fast and ended up in hospital a week later. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow so fingers crossed i'm over the hump!
How far are you huni? I hope all you get is this wee bit of nausia and thats it!

Topsy- I understand where you are coming from- My mum doesnt get it- she knows i've eben real sick but she is still hounding me to make plans etc, its driving me bonkers. Last pregnancy she was awful to me "its all in your head, get a ob you lazy cow" my dad said to her he doesnt think i will get a job heaving over a bucket at the interviews. If you're not up to doing something then don't do it! Just put your foot down I feel for you hun, 13 weeks and you are still feeling like crap- do you find you are feeling better than what you were earlier on? I feel quite lucky as i got it extremely fierce, but only for a short period of time (although i should cross my fingers it doesnt come back to bite me in the bum). It was the same as with #1. Yay for the pizza!! I remember my 1st pizza- 2 weeks ago. I ate half a pizza and it was GOOOOOD. but i did see it later now i dont want any anymore

Oh as for feeling good getting out- it wasnt, i forgot to take my sick pill b4 i left and left the water bottle in the car and i was in a very long line at the post office and I was like omgosh what do i do i need water or im gonna heave. i ended up buying 2 apple and cinnamen scrolls (i wanted custard but pregnancy guidelines advice not to grr), OH didnt want his so i hate TWO. Paid for that I didnt lose them just felt rather queesy after wards. Serves me right.

It's 1.30am i have just been dredding my hair (again) so its really late so i'm going to have some fruit then go to bed. talk later girls xxx

p.s. i don't like prunes

It will change tomorrow....i wonder what it will be.......dum dum duuummmmmm



xx

 

[topsy]

Your mum sound like my MIL!!!! Sure you would make a great impression at in interview going in with a bucket!!!

Yep I think I am getting better with the sickness (FX) in the last couple of days i have eaten, so that's got to be a good sign! But I have NO energy I did say that to the Dr and she said its normal, she said think about how you feel after 24 hour bug with sickness she said when you go back to work the next day and you are shattered by lunch time, let alone being like it for several weeks!!!

I have been really teary today, I am sooooo happy to be pregnant, but just not being able to do anything is so hard. DH is off to a mutual friends 30th birthday, and I have been in bed all day, so resting, eaten the jacket pot so should have some energy, but I have no go in me at all, and no way I can go I feel like i should make the effort, he was best man at our wedding and he came even though his GF couldn't as her dad was in a hospice, and it was very close to the end. But he still made the effort. But I just know I cant

Sorry your trip didn't go well. can you take a couple out and put in your bag, then that wont happen again Hun? I hate the nausea too I didn't know we couldn't have custard. Not that I have eaten any, but will remember that one.

Hope you got some sleep. xxx

 

[topsy]

Double post sorry x

 

[MiissMuffet]

we can have custard but not custard thats been sitting there in the shops. same principle as sushi, deli meats etc. x

 

[topsy]

Your a lime x

 

[MiissMuffet]

I know!! i just got on to check! I actually had lime and lemonade tonight

 

[topsy]

Enjoy your lime and lemonade, i have been drinking lemonade when I feel sick. Managed to keep another jacket pot down, just sent DH out as I want chicken nuggets!!!!! So he has gone to the supermarket after walking up the local shops, they only had battered ones, and I don't like them bless him

have been looking at cot beds and bottles online ( I plan to breastfeed but my best friends little girl was born at 31 weeks and she never could feed her, she was just to poorly figured it better to be prepared!) but there are so many!

Still taking my tablets every 8 hours on the dot!

Hope your all ok girls xxxxx

 

[momma_2_four]

Bleh. This is my second pregnancy with hyperemesis. I hate it. I've already lost almost 50 pounds in 18 weeks. Luckily my dr hasn't made me do any iv's yet but he threatened them last visit. Nothing seems to be working. I've tried every kind of med they gave me, sour drinks/foods/candy, ANY kind of candy, crackers...nothing. Most days I'm happy if I can keep some water down.

Any suggestions ladies?

i would reccomend having bottles handy before you have LO huni. I had my LO on time but she was a very vicous breastfeeder and my nipples got really chewed up they were cracked open and bleeding, the pain was incredible. i ended up havning to express for a week to let them heal. I was very lucky I had the bottles already at home. Luckily she latched back on to the breast straight away when they had healed up- not saying this will happen to you, just saying i was really happy i was prepared lol
