I didnt know this thread was here, I am 16 weeks and what started out as bad ms as I get further into my pregnancy has turn into HG. I had a bad week this week and my DP was interstate so even though I knew I should have went to the ED I didnt and now I cant seem to get back on the top of things. I am scared to eat, I just cant deal with the sensation of throwing up any more, undigested food and worse. Sorry TMI. At least I seem to be holding down mineral water now, but since my latest extreme illness I can stand the taste on normal water. I'm trying to eat small meals or nuts, carrot sticks but I have lost more weight and worry what this is doing to me and the baby. I havent touch the housework in ages and feel like a bad parent to my daughter. My DP is going away again next week for 2 weeks and I am so scare, that he will be so far away. We dont have family support near us and I have only lived in this area for a couple of years and havent really made a close friend yet.
Any tips on changing this mind set Im in, its like I have given up?
DG its lovely to see you in here, your a gem supporting these women.
Sorry that you have had to join the ranks of HG sufferers but a warm welcome anyway. Have you tried eating peeled green apples, apparently there is some kind of thing in them that assists to ease your tummy, as you can see Im very technical in my description
Try not to feel guilty, you are doing the best you can in a bad situation. It seems like the world is on top of you now but it will go away, eventually. I dont have much advice as I didnt suffer through it with another child and was bedridden and hospitalised for most of the first half. You may need to speak to your GP about medication if nothing else is helping and you are at risk of dehydration etc. Dont worry about what its doing to your bubba, that little one is taking everything from you. you're the one suffering
Wellllllll I think it is about time I came clean.........I am expecting baby #2 in October!!! Sorry for not spilling the beans a bit earlier (I am 12 weeks now), I just don't do the 'sharing details online before telling my family and friends' thing. Hope you understand. I realise the irony of starting a support thread then not posting in it at the appropriate time, but hey, I've been supporting others so I haven't just been hanging around making the place look untidy
So the big question is have I got HG? The answer is I'm not sure but I think perhaps NO!!!! I have had some pretty crappy times and have been pretty horribly sick, but it is way better than last time and I am already seeing the throwing up tapering off - woo hoo! I personally think I have just pretty bad MS and have had a few gastro/stomach upsets that have seen me have a few HG like days, but it has been a week or a few days here and there, not constant IYKWIM. I still have the nasty nausea a lot but hey, it's just nausea, I can deal with that. I am still on maxalon and when try to stop I get sick again, but again I can deal with that.
Sorry about the ME ME ME post. I hope all of you that are going through the dark days at the moment are getting close to some better days...x
Sagres, I am sooooo happy to hear you are expecting bubba #2 and you are 'relatively ok'. Its just awesome news and I hope that ms, tapers clean off and you can have a bubbly sunshiney pregnancy
Trishy Im glad you are getting a few good days, it does make it a little easier to deal with. Hang in there, youre almost 1/2 way through
I suffered through 37+5 and 43+5 weeks of HG with my two. To make matters worse I had a blood pressure of about 70/40 and so for most of the day I was either passing out or vomiting or passing out and vomiting. I was prescribed maxolon for a short time, it didn't help one iota and moreover, we discovered that I was severely allergic to it. During my first pregnancy I had gallstones and had to have an open operation to remove my gall bladder at about 23 weeks pregnant. When I got pregnant with number 2, I really hoped that the vomiting had been caused by the gallbladder issues and hence wouldn't reoccur but I wasn't that lucky. Like other people, I have come to realise that as terrible as it is, I would rather be extremely ill and get to keep my babe. I have had 5 pregnancies and have only 2 little ones the three that are no longer with me did not make me sick at all.
Welcome to the thread, although Im sorry that you had to endure such an awful time of pregnancy. I hope that you are finding ways to heal from the trauma of such a hard time
All of a sudden with this month's TTC I have reached a state of total fear.
This month I actully in with a chance of Conceving and now I'm in total panic mode.
What if I get it again.
I mean I've already had it twice, and I know I have a massive chance of getting it again
But I want the baby not the hg
Panic panic panic worry worry worry this can't be helping at all but still.
fromscratch, I dont even know what to say except I know your absolute terror. Im the only girl who hasnt had another bub in our group and think I would love one but 'cant' (actually may not actually be possible either lol). I am so sorry that you have been dealth that hand and I do have everything crossed for you to have a HG FREE pregnancy
