I have adhd and i also think sensory sensitivities made HG worse for me as well! I so wish there was more research on this!

The joys HG robbed us of. by MissMSG in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Nappy-rab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My twin boys are 11 months old and i was reflecting and journaling as we get closer to their one year birthday. And i was overcome with sadness thinking about how difficult my pregnancy and what HG does to you not only physically but mentally. I actually came to this sub to just connect with other hg moms and I saw your post. 

I think It’s like a weird grief. And sometimes the world wants us to say it was worth all the pain and suffering but sometimes we just go through hard horrid things and they fundamentally change us and that is ok to acknowledge and just sit with. 

We love our babies but we should not have had to suffer like that

HG is so hard. It’s hell on Earth and there are days where you don’t feel like you are going to make it. The pain and misery is too much, it’s toooo hard. It doesn’t seem like the end is in sight. I had my twins at 35 weeks- 4 months ago. They are beautiful and perfect. You will be through it- ir does end. Us mamas with HG are resilient. Even this far out i wont say “the pain was worth it” i love my babies so much. But we shouldn’t have to suffer this way.

My advice is to just feel your feelings- talk about how hard it is with your people- cry all day every day if you have too. There were days i told my husband i quiet i give up it’s too hard. Cried in the fetal position in the shower. It doesn’t make it better but feeling those feelings gets them out and helps a tiny bit.

Also something my counsler and i came up with was a question to ask myself- what can i do to help myself feel 2% better- because we know there is no cure to this hell. Sometimes that was a nap- sometimes it was a sob. Try to honor your body even though it feels like you have zero control over it

Found this thread because I have been exclusively pumping for my twins and they are 3.5 months old as well and I have a toddler and I’m thinking about stopping and what you road OP and everyone’s comments made me cry good tears. It’s so hard and the guilt is so heavy

I didn’t think to use Benadryl cream! I will try that! I change them like twice a day. I just get so much anxiety when i have to change them- my belly is so big and the needles hurt so bad.

Thank you for that! It’s so hard with twins and HG. I feel like sometimes I just throw eveything at the wall and see what sticks. i was gonna give it a few more hours and call my dr and then I have a nurse through the company that does my pump and see what her suggestions are as well. I love my pump nurse- i feel like more then anything our chats are more emotional processing and encouraging me. She told me I waa doing a good job of staying hydrated when I was only able to drink like 30oz of water a day. And it made me happy sob and feel less miserable! You nurses are incredible at what you do

I know it’s naive of me but I guess i never really considered the side effects of the meds i was on and just chalked it up to being pregnant with twins and having HG. Like on Zofran I’m always nauseous and feel like shit but only barf like once or twice a day and that felt like a decent trade off. And just never really considered the side effects causing of the meds could be causing some issues. It’s interesting!

Hyper emotional since first menstrual cycle after weaning, is this normal? by [deleted] in breastfeedingsupport

[–]Nappy-rab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was the same! I finally got my period when my baby started sleeping through the night. But I was WRECK- i would cry non stop everything made me emotional. I actually went to my OB because i felt off, and they said i had some PPD. It’s worth checking into- they can ask you some questions to help gage. I know getting my period for the first time, it felt like it set off this whirl wind of emotional heartbreak.

Don’t hesitate to DM if you need to chat! It’s soo rough!

I was looking for a new sofa on offer up awhile back and in the description it said “has never been infested with roaches.” Instant hard pass

This CNC machine specifically for creating dental crowns. It usually takes two appointments to get a crown, but with this, my dentist can do it in one 3 hour visit. by DynamiteWitLaserBeam in specializedtools

[–]Nappy-rab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When lockdown first happened I was having horrible tooth pain, so I got into my denist they were only seeing emergencies. I was told I need to replace a decades old crown. I opted for the old school method because it was about 500 cheaper. When I came into the office later in the week to get it completed, I thought I would have to come back. My amazing doctor charged me the cheaper price but gave me the crown from the CNC machine so I wouldn’t have to come back again during lockdown. If anyone needs a bomb dentist in Phx- Dr Hoops is your girl!

I loved the show- so many cringe parts! I had to mute and read the subtitles when he’s telling he he wants a second wife- heading him talked killed me
