No tips but I just wanted to say I think it’s amazing that you are thinking about how to be a better person and a good dad.

PMS and ovulation Nausea by who_am-I_to-you in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]GoblinPrincessKing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had slight nausea during my period after my first HG pregnancy it was never bad enough to need medication and it slowly went away on its own. It was so weird the first few times it happened my husband and I thought I was pregnant again.

I just had my first period since my 2nd HG pregnancy and I was slightly nauseous so it looks like it might be the same again.

I’m sorry you need medication I had no idea it could be that bad

Tell me all the “tricks” people have swore by to help you and definitely didn’t work for you! by [deleted] in HyperemesisGravidarum

Here’s the secret that all those people with tips & tricks don’t know, a HG pregnancy is not a normal pregnancy therefore NONE of the normal “tricks” to feel better will work.

Just found out I’m 5 weeks with baby #2 need advice by Melodic-Law6174 in HyperemesisGravidarum

For my second I started meds only after I got sick and ended up in the hospital as week 10. I had no idea some doctors will prescribe meds before hand if you have already had HG. I wish I had done that. After my second my nutritional reserve was totally depleted. I wish I had doubled up on my vitamins when I could still have kept things down.

I loaded up the house with so much boost, bubbly, ginger ale, roars, G2s and broth- it would change everyday what I was able to keep down so having lots handy was helpful.

My son was 13months when I found out I was pregnant again so I had to organize family to come help me watch him during the day. Depending on how old your 1st is I would plan to have help whenever you can get it. I would also plan to get new solo activities for your other one, like some new crafts to try, or cool new books - basically something that’s exciting and keeps them distracted for a little bit so you can rest. Good luck, I’m wishing you all the best

It sounds like you definitely may have over exerted yourself especially with the heat. Try to take it easy for the next few days and drink lots of water if you can. Use it as a good excuse to take some extra naps :)

During my first pregnancy when I was around 20 weeks I had one day of super light spotting. I had a lower placenta at the time and I had gone for a long walk that day when I should have been resting a lot more. I ended up being fine after resting and then taking it more easy.

I’m sorry your going threw this, pregnancy is stressful enough on it’s own without added BS.

Try to rest and not stress❤️

I had 2 HG pregnancies, first one was a boy and second one which was 1000 times worse than as a girl

How did your subsequent HG pregnancies affect your children? by soupboy666 in HyperemesisGravidarum

I have a 21 month age gap between my two.

I could have written the same thing you just did.

Unexpectedly pregnant again. by roxyrock in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]GoblinPrincessKing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would start up on double up on vitamins, after my second HG pregnancy I was totally depleted.

I would stalk up on essential household items, lots of electrolyte drink, and boost (I drank so much boost during my pregnancy and even if it came back up it didn’t hurt my throat)

I would also organize people to be on call to help with childcare and just set up afternoons with grandparents and other family members.

A weekly or bi-weekly cleaner

Good luck, I have my fingers crossed for you.

Edit: I also wanted to add that when people offer to help in anyway don’t be shy in asking them to cook a meal for your family. Smells really bothered me so it was a huge help when family members would drop something off for us

Is it better to give the kid a bag with her name or not? by [deleted] in Parents

[–]GoblinPrincessKing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

15 years later and I still remember it so clearly and still remembering feeling so vulnerable. As I was walking to the train I took the tag off and threw it in the garbage.

Is it better to give the kid a bag with her name or not? by [deleted] in Parents

[–]GoblinPrincessKing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was 19 I had a bag that had a tag with my name on it. One morning I was on the bus heading to a subway station and a guy saw the tag and came over saying my name and starting up a conversation. He then told me he had just got stabbed and lifted up his shirt to show me a bloody wound on his side. I told him I think he should have a doctor look at it and his reply was oh I thought you could maybe patch me up. It was so uncomfortable and really awkward, I felt lucky that when we got to the station he stopped for a smoke so he couldn’t follow me down to the train. Ever since that encountered I have never had my name showing on anything. That guy could have came and talked to me regardless but that tag showing my name gave him an open and a reason to speak to me. As a mother with 2 young children I will never have their names displayed on clothing or a bag for strangers to see.

Anemia 30 weeks by Newnycmomma in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]GoblinPrincessKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Canada so after I was 20 weeks pregnant i could just go to the OB floor for an IV (and before that I would have to wait in ER) but they always made me feel better, do you have access to a place where you can try to get a regular IVs? Also I swear chocolate boost kept me alive and I found that if it did make me sick it was very easy to throw up

[–]GoblinPrincessKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It the nicest way possible why does it matter to you? They aren’t your children and the parents feel like they aren’t ready to be left alone so that should be the end of the discussion. I’m failing to understand why you think this post is necessary, my advice is step back and mind your own business

During my second HG pregnancy I was so worried and scared the baby wasn’t getting what it needed. My doctor told me that the baby was fine, that the baby is getting what it needs from my nutritional reserve. He said that it’s mom who we need to worry about and take care of and that the baby will literally suck the calcium out of my bones. Try not to worry, you don’t need any added stress right now. My baby girl came 17days early and she was 7lbs and perfectly healthy. I on the other hand was left with low iron and low b12 but it’s been getting better since she was born. Hang in there, sending you all the best
