hyperemesis sufferers unite!

[aevenstar]

Hi Ladies

Think I may be back in here again! Had hyperem with dd1 and ended up in hospital for a week and a half. Second time round and its looking like being same again-last few days have got worse and ended up coming home early today from work.

Thing is-I'm so happy to be pregnant I don't want to complain but t is getting tough!

Docs on Thursday and hoping I can get some anti sickness stuff a little earlier this time round.

Hope you're all having manageable day

If I was rick and had super awesome medical coverage,and no other kids,I would ask to be put in a medically induced coma for the first half of the pregnancy so I could skip the whole HG! Lol.

Hi again...

Hows everyone this afternoon? x Sorry to hear you're coming down with it aevenstar! have you been sick inn the mornings yet? or are you still just feeling bad? x

Surprisingly, my scan went well and the lovely doctor was very confident everything is just where it should be this time. I cant believe it, im still trying to get used to it, as ive been convincing myself it was all going to be wrong. I have to go back in another 2 wks to check the heartbeat as too early but she says definately a pregnancy sac in the womb - and it is not a sudo sac (which you can get when you have ectopic)

Im guessing now, that means HG is round the corner for me...il be making the most of the next few days...may have to 'stock up' ha ha! Indulge and store my energy! he he!

speak soon xx

hi and welcome to the "newbies"

I felt so lucky not to be sick right off the bat this time and then it hit me like a ton of bricks....lol!

I realised that I've not vomited in an entire week now, but boy is the the nausea bad today!!!

Congrats on the scan coxy!!!!! Wishing you all the best!

Hi ladies

Glad your scan went well Cody-exciting! Yes-am throwing up as well as feelin sick-about 10-12 times a day last few days. Came home pretty much as soon as I got in to work this morning as was sick several times in about 20 mins. Feeling bit better at home as easier to manage. Am wondering if doc would sign me off or not-might make next few weeks easier to deal with!

Normal day off thurs and fri as I'm part time so am planning some easy things to do with eleanor (2 years old).

Gitlost- I like your plan! But then I'd miss out on stuff with Eleanor so maybe not!

How's everyone's day going?

oh bless you, sounds so familiar and i really feel for you. I dont know how you are finding the strength to play with littleone, its gonna be sooooo tough!

Im feeling all paranoid again today as i feel ok. Whats wrong with me?? Why arent i being sick!????

I know all of you that have hyperemisis right now will be screaming at me to shut up and make the most of it, but im worried.

Can you girls just remind me, how many wks/days were you when the first bit of sickness kicked in?

Im sure i was like 4-5 wks when mornings got bad and by 5wk and 6 dys i was in hosp with my last pregancy, but.....i have a feeling it may have been 6 wks it started with my 2nd and with the 1st, i just cant remember at all.

i was 5w6d when the nausea hit like a ton of bricks and the vomiting started in week 7. I know what you mean about feeling something might be wrong....I really hope you're lucky this time and you have an easy pregnancy.

I don't know how you girls can do this with other children at home. I would cry everyday. I've basically ignored my husband these last 2 months and I couldn't do that with a child.

 

[aevenstar]

Well today's normally a working day so ive been able to relax-hubby has flexitime so is working longer today so he can finish early tomorrow and Friday to help me out. May have to rely on playcentres for mornings and cbeebies for late afternoons-Eleanor still naps thank goodness after lunch.

Cody-nausea started at 4 weeks, throwing up shortly after but only occasionally-really ramped up in last few days. MAke the most of the good days-though I know what you mean about missing the reassurance!

With my first-8 weeks
With my MC Baby-5 weeks
With my 2nd son-9 weeks

With both of my sons, it didnt creep up slowly,it came outta no where,like getting hit by a diesel truck(more like waking up one day with a super severe hang over)!

I have heard you can be sicker/less sick depending on gender because of the amount of hormones?

 

[coxy1978]

thanks for replies girls..

I feel like such a worry-guts! So sorry i keep harping on! Im going to try really hard to stop worrying and just try and accept this pregnancy IS going to work out. I wonder if i spent too much time convincing myself it wouldnt work out because i was so afraid of getting another ectopic. Now i just need to reverse previous brainwashing! ha ha ha!

here goes! .....

I've heard that too about the gender thing...HG is apparently far worse when you are carrying girls. But girls is all I've had so dont know. Although in saying that I haven't been nearly as sick this time around so maybe, just maybe its a boy....we'll see.

Awww,I bet it is a boy! Boys are sooooo sweet!

 

[aevenstar]

Hmmm. Well both my friend and I who've had h g had girls-my other friend who's just had her second child-boy-wasn't as bad as with her daughter. Maybe this ones a girl again!

Docs in half hour-hoping to get sorted...

 

[aevenstar]

Evening ladies - well, doc's given me some Buccastem, which are the dissolvable ones - made me sick And have the comedy advice 'best taken after food'. Said to call her Monday if I need signing off. Think I'll be calling her Monday!

Is slowly sinking in that I am actually pregnant - after 6 months of trying for this one, 2 fertility clinics (NHS pee'd me off) and a fair bit of money spent going private, it still doesn't feel real. 8 days till scan next week on saturday - cannot wait!

How's anyone else going on? Was amused to be sent home with the advice to drink sugary drinks - has to be the first time ever I've been told it's good for me!

Zofran worked well for me to take the edge off of my misery.They melt under your tongue and work in minutes.Crazy expensive tho,but what I wouldnt pay to get some relief!

I'm taking the zofran too at the moment.....this time around they have less restrictions on the drug. When I was pregnant last time it was so restricted and the chemist could only give me 12 tablets in a 4 week period unless I paid full price for it and it was signed off by a specialist. We couldn't afford it at all and were very lucky to have the hospital pharmacy give me around 400 of the wafers after consulting with the specialist, midwife and house surgeon.
At the moment I have 122 zofran wafers from the chemist for $3.
Much better!!!!

 

[coxy1978]

Well, hate to throw a spanner in the works, i found that my second pregnancy was my worst...and it was a boy. The 1st and 3rd were girls.

With my son, i had hyperemisis but also had awful migraines and honestly think the sickness was the worst out of the 3.

Im def feeling more nausea over the last 24 hours but still not stopping me doing anything...

feeling for all you who are suffering right now...wish you lots of luck for a good weekend. xx

 

[Futuremommy1]

my zofran was restricted as well....until i called my insurance company and raised bloody murder! now I have plenty of pills but i've really been trying not to take them...the constipation is horrendous.

 

[aevenstar]

Well I had to give in on the whole day on day off and had a tablet this morning aged being sick 4 times in an hour-it made me sick but I have managed to eat a chicken roll today and it was so nice! Picking at some mashed potato now but feeling rough. Not looking forward to med free day-can't see this working somehow!

In other news Eleanor nearly got squashed pulling a concrete bird bath on herself at my dads-luckily I moved quick enough to deflect it and push her out the way-so scary! Have pulled muscle or something in tummy though-ouch.

Hope we all have good weekends!
