DearTutmae,

Firstly I am so sorry for your loss, your story is heartbreaking, I wish you all the best with your continued healing. You have been very courageous, and WE will never get sick of hearing about your little lilah grace.

I also wanted to say with respect to your hyperemesis (extreme MS) I too have suffered from it and am just appearing out the other side of it for the second time. If you do decide to TTC again you should consider taking Zofran Zydis (ondansetron). I would not have survived my second pregnancy without it.

The first time round (4 yrs ago) I thought MS was something you just had to endure no matter how bad it got. I really think without the drip in hospital, with the IV maxolon, I would have died from dehydration, followed closely by malnutrition.

This time not even the drip/IV combination would stop me vomiting so my DR suggested zofran, which has NOT been used widely in pregnancy but mainly for chemo patients who also have dreadful nausea. So far it has presented no problems for those that have used it. (Not many people reach the extremes of MS like we have) What I can say is that for me it was a life saver, both physically and mentally. It never took the nausea away completely but it did allow me to take one first thing in the morning and then after an hour or so, get up, have something to eat and drink like there was no tomorrow until somewhere between 11am - 1pm when I would be back in bed with my bucket still very sick,but only about vomiting about 6times until the next morning, instead of at least 12. This was a big improvement for me and it at least enabled enough fluid and food in, to get me through till the next day

I was on the minimum dose of 4mg and only once a day, and now at 17 weeks only take it every second day.

Anyway talk to your doctor about it, there is also some info on the internet, but if you suffer as much next time round, like me, you may feel like it's worth a try.

Good luck
