Hi Ladies,
Firstly im new so havent quite got the hang of the 'slang' used here
I am in awe of you ladies that have gone back for more children after suffering from hyperemesis - Truly Amazing
Ive been looking for a group like this since having my son. He is 14 months old and i suffered terribly with hyperemesis. I was admitted into hospital would stay 3 or more days, go home for 2 or 3 days and back to hospital id go. It was horrible. It lasted until about 5 months and then i had m/s and a few bad days but nothng compared to the first few months. I along with you all had never heard of anything like it before. My sister in law had just had my neice when i fell pregnant and had a few bouts of morning sickness which we all felt sorry for her if only i knew...
Anyway I would love to have some ladies i can liaise with as hubby and i are discussing number 2 I never ever thought i would even consider but here i am
I worry about not being able to take care of my son! I remember when i was pregnant with him i did nothing but lay in bed and travel to and from the hospital for the first 5 months My son is my everything and i dont have any family although i have my husbands family... They have their own young familys and all work...Hubby works 7 days a week, usually 12 hours a day.
So my question is how did you cope with number 2 and having hyperemesis....
IS there a chance i may not get it again with the next??
7 weeks and really feeling sorry for myself.
The maxalon is no longer working. Just have to hang in there one more day. Have app. with OB Friday.
Not sure if you know about this site but it is dedicated to HG research. I'm not going to link it as there is a Forum although the site is mostly about HG knoweladge. Help HER - Hyperemesis Education Research.
Ha! it linked it's self sorry Mods! I don't know how to make it an address only without it linking.

Just thought I'd check in here again and see how my gang is going
Welcome to those who have come in more recently - congratulations on your pregnancies and sorry you need to be here. When I told my dad I was pregnant this time he said he was happy and sad, happy about a new baby but sad about what I had to go through first. I'm sure you all know that feeling.....
Well I am now on the home straight, just over 38 weeks. Baby is showing no signs of arriving any time soon, a bit longer to wait for me! I still have 24 hour nausea and throwing up every now and then. So like last time I have had HG probably less severe in the first trimester than some of you, but then it goes longer. Those first 20 or so weeks are horrible enough, and then when you realise this HG thing is a marathon and not a sprint or middle distance race it is a bit less than fun
fromscratch - that site is excellent, I've read lots from it and sent links to family and friends to help them understand. Don't know if you have looked in the forum but there is some HG humour in there which is rare and just what you need some times!
Sagres - Im sorry to hear you have had to endure HG throughout your pg. How awful. I you have given birth already and are feeling well again.
From Scratch - How are you going now? Are you getting any relief yet?
AFM - Just a whinge really, 7 weeks today and vomited several times including bile, yuck. Whats worse is I dont even know if its a sticky one yet and this could all be for nothing.
Can't say it's nice to feel at home in this forum I wish none of us had to be here!! But, it is nice to know I'm not alone.
I hope I can also offer you guys some support (I'm new to BB). I'm currently experiencing HG for the second time. It's as hideous as before unfortunately. With my DD (now 5) I had it the whole way through, peaking at 11 weeks, but was able to function reasonably well form 25 weeks. This time it started at five weeks and peaked at its worst about 12 weeks, where it remains. The whole time has been pretty gross so far.
I'm now almost 14 weeks and just started prednisolone. I've tried maxolon, zofran, doxylamine, phenergan and B6 with no relief. Because of my constant admissions for IV fluids they have now prescribed the pred as a 2-3 week course. I am putting so much hope into it working because I really feel that I can't keep going like this. As you guys know, this can be so debilitating. I reached a point of needing my lovely husband to help me shower and really, enough is enough. I want my life back!! Spending all day long in bed with no energy except to run to the bathroom is no fun, is it?!!
I was really worried about the pred being bad for the baby. Both my husband and I are nurses and my mum is a midwife so between us we did lots of reading and asking around. And of course I trust my obstetrician!!! Still, I had to sit on it and think about it for a while. Is anyone else taking it and if so, any luck? I'll be sure to update in case anyone is interested for their own benefit too.
Lots of love to every other HG sufferer. My heart aches for you. Being pregnant is SUCH a blessing and amazing but boy, this is hard! xx
Hi mumjen and welcome I cant help with the prednisolone but am very interested to hear how you get on with it!
Fromscratch- how you getting on now, any improvement??
Sagres- sooooooo????? You must be very close to have made it thru another pregnancy....
AFM- Broke my DH heart this week. I get HG but we were also LTTTC, we arent trying TTC but AF was 11 days later and he kinda thought we might of had that 'suprise' that lots of people get. Anyway it came and in 5 years of TTC and IVF I have only ever seen him heartbroken once, I literally crushed his entire spirit. I feel like the crappiest wife ever, I cant say sorry enough that we arent that couple who just goes 'whoopsie, we are having a baby' bad week, sorry girlies
