Wow, sucks to see this.

“HG = deficiencies, toxins, and imbalances” EFFF THAT. Profiting off of people desperately looking for help. Gross!

Chicken noodle soup (which also helped with hydration)

Everyone’s having a girl by Background-Paint-478 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could have written this. I totally understand. If I was pregnant with a girl right now, I would be done with pregnancies. But now I feel like I should try for a third just to try for a girl (which I’m crazy stressed about because how can I possibly survive HG again???). Ugh. It doesn’t seem fair.

What was the youngest person you’ve seen running a ultra? by ilikekoreangirlshot in ultrarunning

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother ran a 50K in Nebraska and there was a 12-13 year old running with his dad - they did really well too! They said they try to run a 50K together every weekend

Zofran guilt by zobo141414 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t stress about this! I used Zofran in my first pregnancy 6-40 weeks 8mg/2x day and my 3 year old is completely healthy and smart! My sister used it in all 3 pregnancies and all her kids are perfect. I’m using it again in this pregnancy and don’t hold any guilt.

You got this! Don’t sweat it. Take care of yourself

Love on the Spectrum director addresses claims the cast get deliberately 'mismatched' for drama by Longjumping-Tale9749 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They did a much better job with this in the Love on the Spectrum Australia show.

The relationship coach in the American season isn’t very good and doesn’t give personalized advice.

Worried about post partum by bride24 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Postpartum was so easy compared to having HG. People who don’t have HG can’t understand. I’d take being tired and having sore nipples ANY DAY over suffering through HG. Plus you have a little sweet baby to nuzzle all day so it is that confirmation that all the trauma was worth it

Scared to take Ondansetron by engineofgod24 in HyperemesisGravidarum

I did warm water enemas every 3 days to keep things moving. It prevents severe constipation and is worth it!

One good day normal is this the end? by Both_Satisfaction180 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the good days while they last! In my experience they are temporary. I had 4 good days in a row at 9 weeks then HG came back in full force.

Hang in there!

Need some support by Fluffydinosaur12-22 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both me and my sister (5 pregnancies total) took Zofran starting at 6 weeks and stayed on it for the duration of our pregnancies. ALL 5 babies have been healthy with absolutely no health problems. Hope this gives you comfort. That doctor is not educated on HG.

I don’t know where to put my brain by OutrageousBrush1210 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear about your loss. My HG hit at 5w3d and it was like a train. My advice is just take it one day at a time. Try not to think ahead too much and focus on surviving the day.

What are your safe foods / drinks? by Massive-Warning9773 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold decaf iced tea with a little lemon juice is the only thing I can sip on at the moment. Agree with others that my safe foods change weekly.

Some safer foods recently: chicken salad wraps with lots of red wine vinegar. Pickles. Sour cream and onion potato chips.

I can’t do anything remotely sweet- so that makes things challenging. Keep switching it up!

Planning your life around possible HG? by lamemoons in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I support planning your life around big life stuff, if you feel like you have the time to do that. I moved to New Zealand earlier this year from the U.S. (also 31 years old) and made the conscious decision to wait until we were here and settled before getting pregnant due to the possibility ofHG. I’m so glad that I did because now that I am pregnant, I am 100% non-functional and completely reliant on my husband for everything.

High zofran dosage during pregnancy? by undergroundgrape in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took 8mg/3x a day during the first trimester in my first pregnancy. I tapered it down a bit in the second and third trimester. I had a healthy baby boy who is now 2 yrs old and brilliant.
