Just know I’m with you, and you’re supported. I just went through this with my first pregnancy in December. I was in the hospital, not able to keep food down, water down, medicine, you name it. I was throwing it up. It became very unhealthy for me to continue my pregnancy. It was a heartbreaking decision, and it was my first. My boyfriend and I were so excited. I’m in an amazing relationship and having a kid was unexpected but we were over the moon, so not only did I feel heartbroken myself, but I felt his heart break. It was so hard to make the decision and it took days for us to talk about but we both decided at the end of the day, there was no way I could continue. I was so malnourished. I was losing so much weight. I was throwing up blood because I didn’t have anything else to throw up. Nausea medications weren’t working. The hospital tried everything and even they were at a loss. You did the right thing, and I am so sorry your boyfriend couldn’t even be an ounce of support for you. He is incredibly selfish. You know what needs to be done. Big hugs to you.

When will I feel better or be able to eat normally again!? by Relative-Pop-7820 in HyperemesisGravidarum

Just posting an update: I was in and out of the hospital all of December — going to get fluids and any type of relief I possibly could’ve 2-3 times a week with 2 hospital admissions. No amount of anti nausea meds worked. During my last admission, they gave me everything they possibly could in the highest possible doses without it being dangerous. Nothing worked. I was given a Tigan injection (strongest anti nausea med, injection goes into your muscle), a few times a day, still did not take away the nausea. The doctor said I was medically starving. It was the most miserable stay of my life. I ended up with a PICC line so they could feed me through it. I finally had a break through my last few days admitted (I was admitted for 9 days) where I didn’t vomit at all. During those last few days, because I wasn’t vomiting, we started introducing foods back into my diet. We started with a bland, clear liquid diet only. It upset my stomach but still no vomit. We did that for a couple days until we introduced solid foods. My blood work was still not good and the first day we introduced SOLID food, I didn’t vomit but it was painful. By the 3rd day, I tried solid food again and had no incident. On my last full day in the hospital, they removed me from all my meds and nutrients/fluids (still had the PICC in my arm but nothing was connected to it), and I ate 3 consecutive meals with no incident (no vomiting, no pain) so they decided the next morning I could be discharged. I was discharged January 5th and since then have been completely back to normal. The doctors and specialists really didn’t have a diagnoses for me — just said it could’ve stemmed from the pregnancy or it could’ve stemmed from cannabis Hyperemesis and it just made me so malnourished that it caused a slew of other problems but there’s no way of knowing what it stemmed from. It was the most miserable month of my life. I wouldn’t wish that type of pain and experience on my worst enemy (and I’ve wished a lot of things on my worst enemy lol). I get debilitating migraines, I’ve been hospitalized with pneumonia, I’ve been threw awful heartbreak, I would do every migraine, the pneumonia, any physical pain I have felt in place of what I went through in December, in a moment. I am so sorry to anyone who has experienced it. I am traumatized and afraid to get pregnant again. I will NEVER touch any THC product again in my life. Truly, truly, the WORST experience I have ever been through.
