    GD & Hyperemesis together

    Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem at all. When i first got preg through IVF I was told I was overweight etc and blah blah. Anyway since falling PG all I have dome is throw up. Until doagnosed with the GD I had used protein drinks and sustagen to maintain my wait. Since being diagnosed with the GD and the high sugar content in those drink I have lost 4kg in just over a week. I am 27 weeks and really worried about the baby. I am seeing a diabetic nurse for the GD and have now been referred to a dietician for the weight. I am just so tired and wish I could eat something and not throw it up. '

    Any ideas people. BTW I am on Maxalon for the vomitting.

    I didnt have GD but the only thing that stopped (yes it STOPPED the vomiting!) was zofran zydis wafers. You can also get it in tablet form & liquid I think. I got wafers as I couldnt swallaw them down with water so the wafer just dissolves on or under your tongue.
    I took them with both pregnancies from about week 6 until the day I gave birth. They may have come down in price now (fingers crossed) but back then they were around $50-$60 for 4 & you have to have at least one a day... very expensive! But its the only thing that worked for me so I swear by them now.

    Something for you to look into for the HG anyway.

    I hope it eases for you soon, you poor thing!!
