hyperemesis sufferers unite!

[Aaisrie]

Lea I got out last night. Still bleeding but they've told me if it gets heavier or I start cramping again I've to go back in. My placenta is totally covering the cervix but they won't diagnose placenta previa as it's still too early and could move up as the uterus grows. I hope it does as I would have to have a section if it stays there.
Creep I hope you feel a bit more relief soon

Oof I'm pretty much bed bound with nausea now. Ondanstron is controlling the vomiting still but I'm gagging and dry heaving a lot more now so I'm terrified soon the sickness will break through.

I'm also so constipated from the ondanstron, which doesn't help!

Some days I think I just can't do this. My husband says focus on the prize at the end but it feels a million miles away.

Aaisrie, fingers crossed your placenta will move up as your uterus grows, plenty of time for it to do so!

Creep I've spent the past 3 days in bed with my piles, I've been in agony... Like screamin in agony. My MIL even commented that I went through natural labour and didn't make that much noise. I feel like I've had 3 days of babies head crowning in my bum.

I hope you guys feel better soon ^^ Completely understand what you're going through. My hyperemesis didn't stop til i was around 23 weeks pregnant from week 5. Now i just have horrible sickness and nausea. Stay strong!

 

[Lea8198]

Aaisrie so glad you are home I too have my fingers crossed that your placenta moves up soon x

Creep, you poor thing. We all know exactly you are feeling. You are at a tough stage now as your hormones start climbing. I really feel for you I have spent the last 2 weeks constipated too and had big trouble passing what was there. I am going once a week and then really stuggle. It's not very nice at all.

I am sooooooo tired and fed up. The nausea is making me so moody and miserable. I have such a short fuse and I am so angry all the time. I am not myself and I hate feeling like this I am weak from not eating in 8 weeks. I have no energy and i am struggling to look after my 2 kids. I feel pretty useless

just popping in with some big hugs for you girls... keep going, you are all doing great, and let me know if i can help in any way xxxxxxxxx

Lea8198 sorry to see your still feeling poorly. i was put on buccastem which helped the vomiting. my hypremeisis has finally gone but i still get slight bouts of uncomfortableness. #

i got to a stage where i was in a really dark place and felt very very ill. finally after a scare having blackouts the midwife came around and advised that i get away from my house go somewhere else. so i took little one and went to my mums in london for a week. it helped as i was somewhere different and my mind was off everything. i feel better in my self and have finally started to accept the pregnancy.

i really really hope that all of you feel better and am thinking of you all even if i forget to post on here. and if anyone wants to talk please feel free to pm me.

Wish mine had gone after I spent my whole birthday [Friday] throwing up from start to finish.... Fortunately I got my ondansetron down me the next day so the vomiting stopped.

Hi ladies,
It doesn't feel like so long since I was last here. My DS was born 7 months ago, and I had HG with him. Mother nature has a wonderful way of making you forget, and here I am again. I'm about 7 weeks, and the nasuea is stopping me from being a human being. I can't function. I daren't open my mouth for fear of disgracing myself... I feel awful... i've been signed off work for a fortnight, to see where it gets me.

I know exactly how you feel. People kept telling me to focus on having two lovely babies, they just dont get HG at all.

I had HG right up until 10 mins before the c section. Sometimes I forget how bad it was, it feels like it was too horrid to be real.

But you will get there, all you girls will. Not much help I know. The only thing that helped me was going in hospital and having a drip. xxx

Hi ladies!

I got out of hospital on Saturday after a week on the antenatal ward. My oral ondansetron stopped working and I was ketotic so had to go in for rehydration and have the ondansetron iv instead. Finally got it under control though, although my iron levels are dropping due to having vomited so much blood due to a Mallory Weiss tear in my oesophagus. Generally feeling very sorry for myself! But they let me home but I'm now having to inject myself in the bum 3 times a day with ondansetron and ranitadine. It's awful but means I can be at home.

I've been feeling very low indeed as well. Some days I feel I can't go on, it seems never ending. I have a horrid feeling I'll be sick all the way through and it's so isolating and depressing. I try keep focused on the outcome but it's hard. One thing I know is that I will never have another baby after this one, which makes me sad as I always wanted a big family and hyperemesis has robbed me of that. However I know I also have a great deal to be thankful for.

Hang in there ladies.

 

[Aaisrie]

Awww poor you Creep... I'm glad you're home even with the injections.

I had a fantastic day yesterday and thought it might have been a turning point until I woke this morning feeling really sick. Fortunately I haven't been sick YET!

 

[LadyGecko]

HI ladies, I'm stacey I have been suffering from hyperemesis since 3 weeks Ive been hospitalised twice for fluids and anti sickness injections and the hospital consultant finally gave me some tablets that help sometimes although I'm still sick 4/5 times a day, im so glad im not alone....Ive only just found the thread xxx

Hi guys! I'm not sure if I belong in this thread or not, since I've not been officially diagnosed with hyperemesis but I am absolutely miserable. I've been sick 24/7 since about 5 weeks along, almost went to the ER earlier this week and again today, thank goodness I tried just one more time to keep something down and it stayed down, at least long enough to give me some nutrition.

Sometimes ginger ale helps and sometimes it hurts my stomach. Same with any drink... Gatorade, water, etc. And occasionally I have a good day where I just feel only slightly nauseous, but usually the day after that I get "payback" lol (if that's even funny?? lol)

For those of you that believe in prayer, I will pray for each of you, and I ask that you also please pray for me!! Like one of the other posters said, I doubt I will have any more children (this is my first) because this experience is causing me great depression, to the point today I admitted to my husband that I don't even want to be pregnant anymore. And now, he's pissed at me. *Sigh* I wish he would just understand what it's like to feel like this, and he would know why I'm getting so down!!! Of course I want the baby, we tried so hard for it, but I can't help but feel a little resentment from time to time.

to all of you brave, brave ladies. I could use some support myself.

Aww gentle hugs to you, the emotions you're describing sound very normal to me! Hyperemesis is evil, you're often so dehydrated your brain doesn't function properly and you think thoughts you would never in a million years think if you were well. It is also very isolating and depressing, no one can understand unless they've been there themselves. Hang in there and get help early, don't struggle on and suffer in silence as it needs quick and aggressive intervention.

Well I'm 12 weeks today but only got out of hospital again last night after another 5 days stuck in hospital being rehydrated after getting in a mess again at home. Really didn't want to go in but I had no choice! Feeling ok at the moment but I'm frightened to eat or drink much in case I set the vomiting off again but I know that's the worse thing I can do. Just praying I start to slowly improve now I'm 12 weeks, I'm desperate to get out and about again.

One good thing about being in hospital was they scanned me and I got loads of photos of our baby who was moving LOADS and she dated me 3 days further than I thought which was a huge boost.

Hang in there ladies.

Yay for the pics Creep.. I nearly ended up in hospital at the weekend... still not good.. Ketones baddddd... Can't believe I'm 20w and still going through this :[ Have my big scan on Friday... Hopefully I can stay out of hospital that long although I'm doubting it at this point...

You poor thing, you really are suffering bad.

Hopefully the scan will give you a lovely boost. Go to hospital for fluids if you need to, I know it's horrid but if you struggle on you end up having to stay in even longer as it takes that bit longer to rehydrate! Will say a little prayer you improve soon.

 

[Aaisrie]

I know exactly what you are saying.. I had my DD 2 yr HV appt this morning so I wanted to be here for it and then when I take her to nursery tomorrow at 1pm then her nana is picking her up and taking her overnight so I'm thinking if I can get through to 1pm tomorrow and then see how I am... Take each day etc etc

Hi everyone. My spirits are a bit better today. And I feel better too, for now. I have all of you ladies in my prayers. I am definitely not as sick as you guys are, but when I am sick I feel like I'm dying, lol. to everyone

Besides Zofran (ondansetron), has anyone else found anything that helps a bit? Sorry if that's been asked before. I have a friend who is about as far along as me, and the doc gave her Phenergan (phentermine I think) to take at night time, since it makes you sooo drowsy.
