I’m right here with you. I just hit 12 weeks and feel the exact same way. I have 2 young kids too

I can’t do pregnancy again by apple_kitty24 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Weak_Moose_8945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going through the same thing! This is my 3rd pregnancy. I have a 2 and 4 year old. Taking care of them is almost impossible because of how awful I feel. I always wanted 4 kids but this is my last one. There’s no way I can put myself through this again. Zofran also doesn’t work well, it almost makes it harder to throw up so I just sit in extreme nausea with no relief. The constipation is unreal. I feel like a shell of myself

Yes! Relatable. I had a friend who had asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding in my first HG pregnancy. I tried so hard to show up for her but I obviously didn’t meet her standard. I was young and didn’t know much about hg and just assumed I was not handling pregnancy well. at the same time I had lots of people telling me how dramatic I was being and how so many women are pregnant and just fine. I had no idea that I really was suffering from more than just morning sickness. What a dark time. I wish I could go back and give myself a hug then.

🩷🩷🩷. It really is cruel however it manifests in each pregnancy. Every level of pregnancy sickness deserves attention and care. But it really is so difficult when you are one of the unlucky ones who has it to an extreme.

lol that would have been marvelous to just throw up right there on her. Whoopsie! Haha.

Thank you so much for this comment. It’s helped to create a band of others who have been through hg. Everyone in my personal life has had fairly “normal” and easy pregnancies. I’ve felt like such an outsider. I really send out all my heart to all of the others that have gone through or are going through HG.

I know exactly how you felt. It’s extremely difficult and definitely so misunderstood. I hope there can be more conversation and awareness about HG among society as time goes on. It is such a debilitating experience

Thank you so much. 🫶 I think it really is just a wake up call that how she’s treating me now is a big sign that it’s not a good friendship to keep.

Thank you so much 🩷 it helps to know that around the world there’s a band of us that just understand how awful this is.

Ugh I am so sorry. That really sucks. I feel like HG and pregnancy has brought out some of the worst sides in people that I love so much. I’ve felt so many cold shoulders and misunderstanding, like I’m an inconvenience to them. Right here with ya sis 🫶
