I've had it both pregnancies, and it was different both times. #2 was more full on... I was on more drips and at hospital more often. BUT it did calm down for the last 6ish week which was a absolute god send.
With #1, it wasn't quite as severe, but it didn't calm down until after giving birth. AT least with #2, in the last 6 weeks there were days where I wasn't sick ALL day.
I had HG with 3 pregnancies (one I m/c at 10 weeks & the sickness stopped that very day)
With the first pregnancy & DD I was constantly vomitting, the worst it got was every 2 minutes, yes we times it... I thought I was going to die & was vomitting blood as there was nothing in my belly left to vomit
The only thing that helps mine is zofran zydis.... it was fantastic! Once it kicked in (within about a day) I could live normally. I did try to come off it throughout each pregnancy but would start vomitting again so straight back onto it. I took it from 6 weeks until the night I gave birth (DD 41+1 weeks, DS 39+2 weeks)
The downside to it is the cost. It costs around $60 for 4 wafers/tablets & you have to take a minimum of one a day (3 a day at the start if its really bad) so it makes for a very expensive pregnancy BUT if you can afford it then its sooooooo worth it, at least it was in my case.
There is no guarantee that you will have it the next pregnancy, fingers crossed that you wont. It's a terrible condition that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
I had HG with my first 2 pregnancies. I've actually been pregnant 5 times & had HG 3 of those times. With my girls I was severely sick for about 5 months then it started to ease.
With DS I was just sick like normal ms. It was so much easier!! No hospital stays, vomitting 20 or so times a day down to maybe 2!
With me I'm pretty sure it is the sex of my babies that has the effect. Girls give me HG, boys don't!
