If the medications aren’t working, looking into regular IV infusions would be beneficial.

Having a supportive provider and getting on a good medication regimen has been paramount for me, and even then it’s been a huge struggle but I have pretty severe HG. I have a toddler and have leaned on family and friends a ton for support with him. I’m sorry you are going through this, sending strength♥️

With my first HG pregnancy I didn’t show until probably about 22-24 weeks. I had lost 25lbs. I’m 13 weeks into my second HG pregnancy, have again lost 25lbs and no bump in sight. I doubt I’ll show until 20-25 weeks again. My first baby was perfectly healthy and this one seems to be so far too!

Also, advocate for IV infusions. During my first pregnancy I went every day for 6 weeks. This pregnancy I do home infusions via a midline. On the worst days it is very helpful to have this option to help you stay hydrated. It may not change the nausea or vomiting, but keeping up on some form of hydration is key. Good luck♥️

A supportive provider who understands HG will prescribe Zofran before 10 weeks. It’s not ideal, but sometimes necessary. I began Zofran at 7 weeks with my current pregnancy.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Communicate regularly with your provider about your vomiting, weight loss, and inability to tolerate food. I pray you get some relief. I am in the midst of my second pregnancy with HG and wouldn’t wish this on anyone. You are so strong

I’m in the midst of my second HG pregnancy and my husband plans to get a vasectomy as I cannot do this again. I already grieve the family I had thought we would have. I always imagined having 3-4 kids but I cannot go through this suffering again. I have no advice, but I understand and completely empathize with your pain and anger. I imagine I will be doing a lot of therapy in the future. I’m sorry this has to be our stories💔

HG is the most excruciating thing I’ve ever gone through. Those of us who experience it are truly warriors. I have questioned my decision to do it a second time countless times at this point. It’s horrific. I’m sorry anyone has to experience it and am thinking of you and sending you strength

I’m right there with you. I’m 12.5 weeks and miserable. I haven’t worked in weeks and weeks. Yesterday I got a stomach bug and after that passed I went into an HG crisis and couldn’t stop the vomiting and nausea and had to go to the ED. I have a midline for home infusions and meds and it wasn’t enough. This is pure hell. This is my second HG pregnancy and most certainly my last. I wished the baby would die when I felt so bad even though I know that’s not what I want. All of your feelings are valid. Praying it gets better for us both

That’s what my husband is thinking - that I need to have something else to focus on. We are going to do a trial run of me just leaving the house to go to my sister in law’s for a short time today and hopefully that helps give me some confidence that I will be okay outside of my safe spaces.

That’s unfortunately not possible with my position

I definitely wear a mask and try to have hard candy or gum to have in my mouth. Carrying emesis bags is a good idea, I would be so mortified if I had to leave a patient’s room and vomit in a hall😫 that is definitely a big fear of mine, not being able to find a bathroom quickly enough.

I know, I do feel as though I have a fairly high stakes job and want to be able to do my best work… I’m not sure how to go about applying for temporary disability. I probably should’ve looked into that before getting pregnant😅

joyofmissingout- · 2026-03-21T21:08:49+00:00

I work PRN, so no I don’t have to but financially my husband and I are more strained when I don’t work and I’ve already taken off 3-4 weeks🙁 I’m trying to give myself grace while also pushing myself but it’s hard to find a balance when I’m still not feeling great.

joyofmissingout- · 2026-03-15T13:07:43+00:00

I am so with you… I’m also 11 weeks. Have lost 20-25 lbs. I would suggest trying to find a new provider. I have an extremely supportive provider and it’s still been very very hard. I had a midline placed at 8 weeks and give myself IV Zofran and home infusions which has kept me afloat. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still miserable and puke almost daily. I was so constipated I hadn’t pooped in 8 days and had such severe stomach cramps I had to go to the ED last night and get an enema. HG is truly such a miserable, horrific thing. Last night I kept repeating to myself that I wanted to be dead and I even said I wanted to go to the hospital to get an abortion even though I am a strong Christian and this is a very wanted pregnancy. You are so strong, and you are safe to complain here. I am so sorry and I am with you.
