Katy - that seems to be the best way for me to keep something down at night - if I can sleep! How are you feeling today? xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Awful. But it's not so much the sickness, only been sick once, although spent the rest of the day forcing myself not to throw up ifykwim. Just feeling generally down and crappy today. Had an awful night last night, sick and then heartburn so I didn't get to sleep until about 4.30am, so spent a lot of today asleep, which means I won't be able to sleep tonight again now

How are you today? xx

I had a bad night last night aswell. I was only sick a few times but nausea was making it hard to sleep. I've not been too bad with sickness today. I've not been sick since this morning but still feeling sick and haven't eaten much. I just want to sleep but trying to stay up as long as I can so I have more chance sleeping tonight.

I have spd aswell so sleeping is really becoming a challenge.

I know what you mean. Already feeling down and crap and the lack of sleep just makes me feel worse. I still feel guilty for feeling so miserable.

Good advice about looking to the future, it's so hard sometimes though. And then I feel bad for being down.

Just so fed up, and all my hair is falling out now. I know that this can usually happen in pregnancy, but not eating can't be helping. My hair used to be really thick (did my head in actually) but now it's getting really thin. It feels like it's only about half as thick as it used to be now. Hope it doesn't all just fall out! xx

Thanks for that NIfirsttimer

Sending you lots of hugs Katy

Sorry, just having a bad day xx

katy are you still taking vitamins? Sorry if ive missed this earlier int he thread, I dont get time/chance to read it properly every day.
I can take and (most of the time) keep down pregnacare tablets and Im sure that is all thats kept me reasonably healthy to this point.

Do you not find that if you eat too close to sleep time you get an hours sleep then spend the rest of the night throwing up? If I eat too close to bedtime I get barely any sleep before waking up, sometimes I am sick as I wake othertimes I get to the loo first and then Im sat around throwing up almost constantly for several hours...I think lying down really does NOT help me but sitting on the sofa/at computer for a while does.

Im preparing for the sickness to get worse, will be seeing Dr next week and the specialist at a different hospital on the 26th I think it is and I will bring up the antisickness tablets again and see if they think it wont be too much of a risk...by then I will be 33 weeks and at a comfortable gestation even if it does set of contractions again.

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I'm still taking pregnacare too, but not sure how often I actually manage to keep it down. LO is growing fine though, so it's just me suffering I think.

I seem to just throw up whenever I try and eat, makes no difference if I sit up or lie down.

I hope you get something sorted out when you go and see the consultant and hopefully they'll give you the antisickness tablets

How is everyone today? xx

 

[teal]

@confusedmum i wish i could say or do something that can help you but i dont have better words than just to you, i have been through hyperemesis almost all throughout my pregnancy and its my first time too..... at week 8-12 i thought i didnt want to be pregnant anymore.... i kind of know what you are going through cause been the same but the situation is different for you, for me have dh to support me, just hang in there, you will make it through, i cant even believe im on my 36th week now, all will come to past, im just thinking maybe it will be wise or rather it will help you if you can come out and let your parents know, you might be suprise how supportive they will, all in all i wish you the best..... and to other ladies here, i hope you having abetter day i got my vaccine jab today, i was in dilema for a long time whether to get it or not and im so happy that babys head is engaged already, few more weeks

 

[Kitty23]

aww hun Like Henrica said you WILL get through this, the girls here are great we all help each other on the bad days and they do pass Your not moaning at all! Hyperemeisis is horrendous its shite but it does end

First things first
Have you been to the docs about anti sickness tablets?
If not go! Make an appointment and dont leave until they give you some tablets, if that doctor is no good see another one the tablets can help some people alot and can take the edge off for others.
Make sure the doctors are weighing you.
Could you stay with your parents for a little while? Being alone with this is not nice, its so much easier being ill with someone to help you.
Try sipping at icecubes in a cup for fluids.

aw I'm really sorry to read about all you girls suffering with HG, it really is crap and so depressing. All I can really say is try to take each day as it comes, it will all be worth it in the end - I know it's hard to see that though while you're going through it as I couldn't see it and everytime someone said to me that I was nearly there and not long now etc it really wound me up as every day felt like a year. My baby is almost 7 weeks now and I can hardly believe I was sick for so long, it feels like a distant memory now. I never thought I'd be able to eat anything other than toast again but you will get there I promise. In the meantime just look after yourselves and try to get lots of rest. xxx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

How is everyone doing? This thread has gone a bit quiet lately.

I've not been too bad myself, still being sick a stupid amount of times a day, and a I fainted yesterday because I'd not kept enough down. But feeling a bit more positive at the minute.

[oboeverity]

I've been diagnosed this week... and I just want to cry. All I've had today is a couple of mouthfuls of diet coke, which used to stay down quite nicely, and I've brought that up... I'm only 9 weeks, and I'm not sure I can go through much more of this...

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I remember thinking that too at the very beginning. Now I'm almost 28 weeks so the time does pass. Plus, it may stop at 12 or 16 weeks, so you might not have too much longer to go. Try and take each day one at a time. Has your doc prescribed you anything? If you're not able to drink and therefore aren't needing to pee you could be dehydrated in which case you'll need to go to hospital xx

 

[teal]

Sorry to hear that you're suffering too oboeverity Mine started at 6 weeks and like Katy said the time does pass xx

Katy - it has been quiet. How are you? I wasn't being sick so much while I was suffering with what I think was a really bad cold. I thought it was just the cold but I was all achy and out of breathe just walking up the stairs. Whatever it was I'm over the worst of it now thankfully although the sickness is now back. I've only been sick a few times today but feel too nauseas to eat. xx
