Did anyone have severe m/s in one pg and none/less in another?

Yeah I have got a lot of comfort and sadness from that site - I only found it after I had my DD. So much of it made me say 'ah yes, that is what I went through' and realise it is OK or normal for a HG pregnancy. I have bookmarked a few pages to send to my DH and family when we get to that point again, we are TTC at the moment. Sorry it made you cry
If you need a laugh try and track down a thread called you know when you have HG when..... or something like that, it is an absolute hoot (as much as it can be!) and helps put some humor into an otherwise humorless situation.

Pandora - It is more common in girl pregnancies than boy, which is why I assumed mine were both girls. But clearly it is not always the case. My mum had HG with all her pgs boy and girls so it made no difference in her case.

Sagres - Yes, I'll need to read the humourous side, I bet it will make me laugh.

Sagres - If only I'd seen that 9, 6 & one year ago.
I just linked the info from that site to face book, basically to say eff you to all my friends who thought I was full of crap.
It hurts so much when noone even tries to understand.

Glad you could still get some use from it clover! Sorry you suffered HG all three times. It is hard when everyone thinks you are just being a bit precious about normal old MS when you are infact dealing with HG and actually being pretty good about the hell you are going through....

I know. I had a friend (who annoys me no end) tell me that I just have to get on with it. Problem is I'm not a winger. I'm a suck it up & deal with it kind of person.
The tiredness was impossible. I was lucky with DS & was not going to risk another baby, because I knew I could have another girl, but DD3 suprised us.
I didn't leave the house for 5 months

YES YES YES - I hear you there! It was only when I read some of the stuff on that website that I really realised that if I do go through it again - which I expect I will if I get UTD again - I need to take it a bit more seriously and not understate things. My friends and family won't understand why I need help unless I am a bit more realistic about it. They aren't going to take it seriously if I won't.

Sorry to hear you were house bound for so long, it really feels like you have just lost months of your life doesn't it? So horrible.

I felt as though I lost months of my life too. I was so depressed as well but kept on taking my maxalon (and later zofran) hoping I would feel normal again. During the worst of it I could barely shower. With DS2, DH had to hold me in the shower because I was so weak that I could not stand up for 10 or so minutes and I only changed my clothes once every couple of days (yuk, gross!) because I was too ill and it took too much energy. I went down to 50kgs. A week later and I was in hospital for 4/5 days. Looking after DS1 was impossible. My mum looked after him for 6 weeks while DH was at work because I just couldnt. I felt like a whinger too but I didnt realise how bad it was.

Reading that site made me realise that I wasnt whinging at all. It is a real illness. I love the crackered section! I too wanted to scream everytime someone told me to just eat some crackers, or ginger, because ohh yes, zofran doesnt work on the nausea but ginger sure will. Yeah right!!
