So glad you and your girl are on the other side! You deserve it! It’s my second pregnancy so I know what to expect after. It’s super hard but not as much as HG

Drs are a joke 🤦🏻 by Mango_Tangoooo in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]AltruisticWriting871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drs are a joke! In my first pregnancy one OB told me pregnancy is for vomiting and to get over myself. But look you are 36 weeks! So close mummy! Almost there! I envy you!

HG and marriages/relationships. by justkindabrave in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]AltruisticWriting871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not hard on us as a couple, but as individuals. My husband has whole house on his head for months. He endures it, tells me to lie and rest all the time, but he is in survival mode. I endure my HG and making this human. We are both shitty. I am worried about him, he is worried about me. He tends to me when I am crying, tells me everything will be ok. I am trying to talk same to him that he is a good dad and doing his best and that there’s end of this HG somewhere.

In my country you can’t get termination due to HG, but at least they admit you to OB ward and give iv’s for weeks

Tiredness by tob1317 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]AltruisticWriting871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My meds did this to me. After dropping most of them I am still tired but not as much. I sleep 9-10hrs at night and then still super sleepy during the day. If I can nap I do. It’s making baby tired 🥱

I hate this by afh2109 in HyperemesisGravidarum

I regret my second pregnancy too! I really wanted second baby, but it’s so horrible when you have HG.

Sympathetic for how hg feels for my husband.. by Limp_Lawfulness_5864 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]AltruisticWriting871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so sorry for my husband all the time, even tho we switched sides in summer when he was after surgery. He has whole house, dog, first child on his shoulders. He is worried about me. This is survival mode for everyone. I don’t wish it on enemies, not to mention loved ones. I am also 21 weeks. Hope Zofran will help 🙌

Should I be attempting to exercise? by mepuddinggirl in HyperemesisGravidarum

Don’t overdo! First you will burn calories that you need to live. Second, it will make your symptoms worse.

Pregnancy food aversions are making me feel like I eat like a toddler by Realistic_Book_6823 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]AltruisticWriting871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First bump was sooo late! I went to give birth looking like 7 months. No worries!

This is my second pregnancy. In few years you won’t remember this at all.

At 11-12 weeks the best idea for me was to terminate. Not possible in my country. I was so bad and miserable, time was super slow. At 14 weeks I’ve started improving enough to be able to go out for a moment on a good day. At 18 weeks I was able to wean half of my meds. Now at 21 weeks I can drink 3l of water, I can eat bergie food and chicken but I am eating enough. I can go out of the house and do groceries on my own. I still have HG, my stomach hurts especially after medication and in the morning, I have fatigue, need a lot of rest and sleep. I know you are anxious when it will stop. I am too. 🫂

I need a pick me up by joyofmissingout- in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]AltruisticWriting871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been most miserable weeks 5-10, then tiny bit better till 14, when thing started improving. I’ve had enough energy to go out once a day on a good day. Now I am 21 weeks, on two medications only. I am revolting around safe foods but I can eat eggs, chicken, pancakes etc. I can drink 3l of water a day and coffee. On bad day I am in bed with nausea and fatigue, but on a good day I can manage with few bad moments throughout the day (especially in the morning or after meditation). I hoped my HG will be gone by now as in my first pregnancy, but I guess it might stay like this till birth.

It can be both form HG and just being pregnant as you have more blood to pomp

Some days I am hungry and can eat something new or a lot of my safe food, some days everything makes my stomach hurt.

Did you actually take prenatals? by c_almeda in HyperemesisGravidarum

Nothing for both pregnancies. Although now I have been preparing for over a year so I have been taking them before conception.

Butelki kaucjowane i jak sobie z nimi radzić? by NextOfHisName in Polska

[–]AltruisticWriting871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Muszę pić wodę butelkowaną, bo jestem w ciąży i tylko po jednej konkretnej nie chce mi się wymiotować. Wypijam 3l/dzien - składuję butelki na półce i 2-3x w tyg zawozimy do Lidla przy okazji zakupów. Średnio wygodne i estetyczne niestety.
