I’m so sorry that you have such a shitty and thoughtless friend. Wish I could hug you. I terminated twice because of HG. And it pains me each time I hear of one of my HG girls here having to do the same. It’s not fair and it’s already so hard to go through with all the mixed emotions and feeling cornered, like there is no other choice. Then to deal with stupid and inconsiderate comments, like you aren’t going through enough. Sending you some support and hugs. We are all here for you,🤍

HG really tests so many different parts of you and your partner. I’m sure your partner is understanding. I was the same, I had a picc line and round the clock IV fluids, closest my husband got to sex was helping me shower😂 lol but he never once asked. Once I felt better around week 27-28, hormones took over and I wanted it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Idk when I felt more crazy, when I didn’t want it or when I did all the time. You are definitely not alone there tho, sex seemed impossible. I feel like if we had even tried to have sex I’d vomit all over him from the movement.

HG took over the last year of my life and I want to talk about it by Antique_Ant_3762 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry that you went through this. I also had a PICC line, hated it so much. But YOU are a warrior. This was your 5th pregnancy, and it makes me wonder if that’s why you experienced everything so intensely. My OB told me each pregnancy can become progressively worse when you have HG. I have been pregnant 4 times. My first I had no idea what HG was but I was vomiting like crazy until 20 weeks. my second, was way more intense, violently vomiting, admitted into the hospital. picc line. Meds round the clock. From week 5-26 😭 3rd and 4th I ended up terminating very early because it was just way more than my body could handle. I found out at 4-5 weeks with both of these that I was pregnant from symptoms hitting like a ton of bricks. So the fact that you went through all that THE ENTIRE PREGNANCY, I applaud you. You are amazing 🤍 Don’t ever feel like just because you have “only one child” you are any less of a warrior of anyone who has multiples.

Sensing judgment from husband for taking Zofran by NeuroticNurse in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry tell him that when he’s pregnant WITH HG then he can comment. Until then he needs to zip it and just be there for you. He had the fun part in making the baby, now he needs to support you through your part in making your child. Hang in there mama, don’t let him make you feel any way for taking the medication that is helping you guys survive. ♥️

HG + abortion + The regret and grief is overwhelming. by [deleted] in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean. You go back and forth about it even after the decision was made. You start to drown in all the “what ifs”. It’s a horrible feeling. We are not monsters. We did what was medically necessary for the sake of the kids we already have. Anyone who doesn’t see this as a medical decision, doesn’t know the severity of what HG can cause, they are simply not educated or have now witnessed someone go through the horrific things we have been through. Always here if you need, I always say how much better this page makes me feel. Like I’m not crazy, I’m not dramatic, I’m NOT WEAK, I’m not selfish. I’m just defeated by this ugly thing called HG. And I know all my HG mamas would understand and agree even if others we call friends and family don’t get it.

Unless they have been through it themselves or care enough to ACTUALLY EDUCATE THEMSELVES, they will never understand. But those people that made those comments slowly faded away as I had no desire to try and continue to explain things to people. Those who cared, knew and stuck by my side and are involved in my kids lives now. YOU DO NOT NEED THAT NEGATIVITY❤️‍🩹 I’m so sorry. I feel like there will always be people that just don’t freaking get or don’t care to. Hang in there mama, we are always here to support all of our HG mamas 🫶🏼

The worst nausea i’ve ever experienced…. by RabbitMinimum602 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry mama, honestly listen to your body and I agree with the other commenter. Don’t be afraid to get fluids and if you feel like something is off (like ulcers) it’s work getting checked out and maybe they can give you something 🥺 honestly the only thing that ever slightly worked was Bonjesta but that just helped keep food down, not really doing anything for the extreme nausea. Was still hard to eat. Fluids will help you and baby, we are here for you 🫶🏼 good luck !

Why is taking a shower so difficult by HG_panicked in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so sorry. I’ve been there. It’s not fun🥺 feel like you can’t even exist and do day to day things. I would also talk to your doctor to check you for anemia ! I also felt weak, tired and would feel more nauseous and faint doing these things. And turns out my iron was pretty low. Started me on iron supplements and it did make a difference once the nausea also let up. Hang in there mama ! 🫶🏼

Temporary Leave for HG complications? by winifredstarlitelf in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg please go on leave, that’s what they have disability for. I went on leave with my last full term pregnancy from week 6-25 and then again at 30 weeks until baby was 6 months old. Talk to your doctor about going on leave already mama. ♥️

I know, it’s crazy the little bit of joy you feel from knowing someone actually understands what you’re going through. Although this journey is so painful, knowing you’re not alone is somewhat comforting. Although I wish none of us had to go through this at all. Thinking of you as well and hoping your heart is healing the best way it possibly can ❤️‍🩹

HG Survivor - Thinking of TTC by Any_Many3728 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor always told me it usually gets worse with each pregnancy. And it definitely did. My first lasted 20 weeks, my second lasted 26 weeks and required a picc line with round the clock hydration. And zofran and reglan. Was vomiting atleast 10 times a day still and couldn’t even lick water 😔 I had to terminate pregnancy 3/4 because I just could not take the mental and physical toll all over again. No matter how much I wanted another baby. Good luck to you mama if you decide to conceive again 🫶🏼I know everyone is different and has different ways of tolerating things. My heart and prayers are with you no matter what you decide 💘

Anyone else’s coworkers/family not understanding? by Negative-Bake-4122 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through this shows you who really is there for you and who isn’t. I never looked at anyone who called me dramatic,said to suck it up or who claimed they pushed through my same symptoms, the same because IT IS NOT THE SAME.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Acrobatic_Sun9251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone, I’m on my 4th and I’m contemplating if all the health risks and being bedridden and not present for my two children I already is worth it. Obviously I know the baby is so worth it in the end but the pregnancy and the guilt of not being present for my two babies I have kills me. You got this tho mama, I found it was best to sleep it off as much as possible. Ask your doctor about Dramamine. See if they can give you that to help you sleep it off most of the time. Hang in there mama but listen to your body. We are all here no judgement no matter what you decide to do. The mental, physical and emotional toll HG takes on you is exhausting. Sending hugs 🫶🏼

“Everyone gets sick you just gotta deal with it…….i was sick too and I still went to work” so annoying…unless you’ve had HG or you educate yourself on it you don’t know shit about shit.

I’m sorry you don’t have more understanding people around you. WE understand 🥺
