I have no idea With DD I had nausea at 6 weeks (February 14th) at 10am by 11am I was head down the toilet and never came back out until 37 weeks. Atm it is nausea but it is getting a bit more 'gaggy' for want of a better word. It does feel different but Im wondering if it's just starting more slowly given my HCG levels (they are 1/3 of what DDs were at thsi stage).
Plan is in place and I have scripts in my hand ready to go. I dont know that the plan will get followed through but at least I have the scripts, which was more than I expected him to provide. Havent had scan confirmation but going by O, 6 weeks today. LMP dates 6 weeks 2 days. I guess on the upside I made it to the same gestation without throwing up....yet.
Yay for not spewing! You know you still might not. I haven't spewed at all this time. Even so the nausea can be a killer. Good you have the scripts. I was really torn, not wanting to take anything if I didn't have to, but I was also terrified of the HG. I really put me doing so much better this time down to early treatment.
What do you have scripts for? I can not speak any higher of the huge positive effect Restavit has had for me!!!! Zofran stopped vomiting for me but once I added the Restavit the relief from the nausea was huge. You could even try Restavit alone first, it may work wonders for your nausea without needing heavier stuff. I was still constantly nauseated on the Zofran and had a lot of trouble eating and drinking, but the Restavit eased it enough for me to eat and drink more and all my weight loss stopped. It is OTC so you don't need a script. It's the Restavit for insomnia, not the 'nausea' formula (which is just vit B) A Restavit and vit B combo helps a lot of people too.
I know you'd rather have to take nothing, and here's hoping you don't. I'm not sure there's hard evidence of HCG levels playing a big part in HG, but it definitely does for some. Maybe you're just going to have the odd gaggy day and leave HG in your past
That's exactly where I'm sitting, trying to wait it out but so scared if I do, then I will just crumble
Ive heard of the restavit and will give it a try too. My scripts are for zofran wafers. Im taking B6, Im trying to believe it's working but meh, I dunno. Really bad morning and pretty much ate a piece of fruit all morning, by lunch was ok but back to feeling blergh. Still no spew but I came close this morning. Im thinking Ive blocked a lot of DDs pregnancy out but i dont recall the nausea like this. No wait, actually I do. That was really dumb. I guess Id get nausea, spew, get relief for 5 or 6 minutes and it would start again, over and over. The fact Im even on the computer is more than I was capable of with that pregnancy.
I couldn't use the computer either last pg, or watch TV or read a book nothing. Sometimes I would have the TV on low volume and listen, not watch.
You're doing well waiting to see how it goes Just make sure you don't let yourself dehydrate, if you can at least keep hydrated you may avoid vomiting, or at least the unrelenting vomit cycle. HG really is evil! Even when you're not sure you're there yet you still feel terrified It really sux.
I'm so hoping you skip it and just have gross m/s for a little while, then feel fantastic!!
If you do feel you're sinking into HG again I can also give you the link to an Australian facebook HG support group. It's got nearly 100 members now I think, the lady that started it is now setting up the Australian branch of the Help HER Foundation. I think Dr Phil started it in America a few years back it's a great resource if you haven't seen it before. So I can PM you the link, whenever you feel you might need it. I have learnt heaps from the ladies in there soooo many tips and advice on treatment options. Also recommendations for HG friendly doctors if someone near you knows of one. A good doctor that knows about HG can make a huge difference.
Just let me know, even if you want to have a look now just in case, or so you can get some more ideas for later if you need them. Up to you let me know if you want the link
If anyone would like the link to the fb support group just let me know! I know we have each other in here which is great, there are so many in the other group that there is a wide range of ideas, advice and experiences which is good too.
Thank you willow I woke up this morning fine. Am feeling blergh now but Ive had a reasonable day. Choked on my folate tablet this morning yeah, its the size of a pin head, I know! Got me gagging but no throwing up, probably cause I wasnt nauseous already. Im 2 days past the time HG started with DD
I was a member of that FB page (think its the same one), hardest part for me is Im in the country and no one is within a 3 hour drive of me!
Woohooo!!! So you might be just going to have the odd off day
It's hard when you're in the country when it comes to a choice in doctors. I know quite a few of the ladies in the group have to travel for medical care. I don't know how you do it! I thought I had it tough when my old doc was a 20 minute drive from home that was bad enough with HG but hours I don't think I'd cope. I think there is one lady that found a good OB and he even suggested he do the majority of appointments with her on the phone so she didn't have to endure the long car trip. Great score I thought!
So glad you woke up feeling fine!!!!!
I had a good day today, so good that I started to worry something was wrong with the baby you'd think I could just enjoy not feeling like death, but nooo the paranoia kicks in almost straight away. I'm pretty sure I've felt a couple of little kicks which help put my mind at ease now.
