Severe Morning Sickness is calles Hypermesis Garvardium. Definitely worth spending as much time as you can getting treatment hun. Baby will take all it needs from you, but if you have nothing left to give then it could be very serious.
Thanks for refering the other message board and sharing your stories. It does help to know I'm not alone. I think a part of me realises that the only way to stop this is for the baby to come out, I just have to make it to that point healthy and sane.
I am trying to see the funny side where possible and not let it get me depressed again, but I may still go through a few more downs yet. Thank goodness for Mums, I would be much more of a mess with out her (she had HG with me to the point where I came early due to the toxin build up).
I just wish others where more understanding, but then again I guess everyone going through their own difficult patches wishes that.
My aim today is to just keep as much fluid and food down - no matter how ill it maikes me feel. I figure if it takes drinking 5L to keep 2 down then so be it at least me and bub will be ok.
mumintraining - there is a product that is availabe from your chemist called 'Gatrolyte' comes in different flavours.
I had a really bad case of Gastro about week 26 of this pregnancy and was finding it hard to keep anything down.
Got DH to go to the chemist and get me some of that and it helped heaps!
It is actually specifically designed to replace lost electrolytes - has potassium, magnesium etc
Maybe try giving that a go? I was getting really bad headaches as well and after forcing that down me it made me feel sooooo much better!
Hang in there hun, hoping it passes for you very soon!
P.S My girlfriend has 13 days to go (2nd pregnancy) and is still vomitting. I guess some women are more prone to it than others sadly!
Awww you poor thing! I can really sympathise. I was so sick throughout my whole pg. I hated people saying "it should have stopped by now" and "oh are you still sick??"
The only positive i saw out of the whole thing was that I didn't put on any weight (lost in fact) and ended up 7kg lighter at the end of my pg.
I can say I hated being pg. I'd do labour again in a minute (and i didn't have the easiest labour in the world), but I'd think twice about being pg.
Please make sure you get your fluid levels checked regularly. If you are bringing up everything and losing weight you are getting dehydrated, whick is bad for your kidneys and releases toxins into your blood. It can also lead to issues with your pancreas, which can lead to diabetes. try to get your levels checked at least once per week and dont let anyone tell you it is fake. ask them how much have they kept down and how much they like vommiting. You are not bulemic, you have a serious medical condition, that can be fatal if not properly managed. Keep an eye on the colour of your wee if you are doing any. the darker it is the more dehydrated you are. If you are very dark or not weeing at all then go to the hospital and get a drip hun. Ring your mum to come and help you. you need support. See if she can keep on top of your housework for you hun. you are using all your energy being sick and need to focus on getting better, not cleaning.
Mumintraining, also refering you to my thread https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...o-i-go-dr.html there were some things to try in there if you are desperate like I was. I am finally getting some relief and I am able to enjoy the pregnancy a bit more now. Good luck hun
