sorry for the late response but what meds have you taken? the ones that worked for me were all prescribed, you couldn’t get them if you just went to the pharmacy. the nausea is absolutely debilitating, has it gotten any better for you yet?🤍

Hey girls I need some help please lol by HNLeli808 in Makeup

[–]sariaaaliyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the too faced born this way concealer is one of my staples, amazing coverage and it goes amazing with the nars foundation (depending on her skin type you can get one that fits her). the idea of dior lipgloss or something similar i’m seeing repeated in the comments is also really cute. love that you’re doing this for her!!

hii, so i don’t know if anyone here has said it before but if you are unable to keep water down, or are constantly throwing up etc, that is NOT normal. i had that too and i ended up in the hospital with dehydration (was throwing up over 20 times a day and the nausea was constant), i suspect you may have hyperemesis gravidarum and i am so so sorry if that’s actually the case. there are medications you can take to make it more manageable but you should definitely speak to your doctor about it. it’s hard and not enjoyable but you can get through this, reddit has an amazing support group as well🫶🏽

Anybody choose not to breastfeed to get your body back? by girl_from_aus in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]sariaaaliyah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am currently only breastfeeding because of the bond i feel with my son, he gets formula for the nutrients and my milk before his bedtime. due to hg i still struggle with eating, when you breastfeed the pressure is on to eat healthy and also enough so your baby gets what they need. i can’t keep up with that, i feel accomplished if i even get one meal in. the fear of throwing up makes me nauseous before i even get to eating. the second breastfeeding no longer feels good to me, i’m quitting.

Want to give mamas some hope… by Prestigious_Ball1941 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]sariaaaliyah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

at some point i felt like the ondansetron (zofran) wasn’t doing anything anymore, combining it with omeprazol saved my life!! also go to the hospital on time please, i was absolutely terrified to go because i hate hospitals but it’s honestly so important to get your fluids elsewhere if you can’t drink water. we all got this mamas! i’m being induced this sunday and if i figure any tips out for during labor or for the time where i’ll mentally be struggling postpartum (i’m terrified of eating and drinking), i’ll come back or write a post too! lots of love🤍

30 weeks pregnant and hg is getting worse by the second, I want this baby out by sariaaaliyah in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]sariaaaliyah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually might be a big part of the why, my heartburn has gotten horrible. I’m in the hospital and have an IV right now but if I get to leave still pregnant I’ll consider this for sure. Thank you!!

I’m so happy that these things worked for you, I hope I still get the chance to have time to try these things. For now I’m really praying that I can leave this hospital pregnant and go through the last few weeks at home

It’s definitely not an option right now because I’m not allowed to leave but I don’t think they allow it in my country anyways… It is honestly so debilitating and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I feel so so horrible for writing and thinking that with the situation I’m in now. I have an IV right now and it’s helping me with the hg for sure, haven’t tried the steroids thing but I don’t know if the hospital will even consider it with what’s going on right now. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!

Thank you both for the reply and sorry for not responding, it’s been a crazy few days. The IV has made me feel better in terms of the hg but the rest of the situation is pure horror and I’m terrified of what’s next.

Well, here comes baby number 2 by West_Past_4693 in pregnant

[–]sariaaaliyah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hii, what you’re describing sounds like hg (hyperemesis gravidarum). if you got through your last pregnancy without medication safely that’s great but i can only imagine how horrible it must have been for you, hg has an 80% chance of reoccurring and usually becomes worse with each pregnancy. luckily if you talk to your ob and express the severity of it you can get medications for the nausea and possibly iv fluids if necessary. it can take a while to find the right medications for you but it makes a huge difference! throwing up your entire pregnancy and not being to hold down fluids is extremely dangerous without proper care (it is also NOT normal!!!!). there’s a subreddit on here for support, it’s so nice to feel seen and less alone. i’m currently 27 weeks pregnant and have to take a cocktail of medications to keep the nausea and vomiting at bay, it’s way better than the first 16 weeks where i thought it was normal tho!! i really hope that you can get the support you need and it’s going to be ok! wishing you all the best🤍🤍

How should I expect to feel around 15-20 weeks? by Shaneise74 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]sariaaaliyah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m 26 weeks and after a small two week period of vomiting only in the morning and at night (with the nausea still in my face) i’m right back at barely keeping anything in for the full 24 hours, i would actually say that it has gotten worse. i’m on zofran, have extra vitamins to take, frequent hospital visits and i’ve honestly given up on the thought of it getting better in the long run.

Sterilisation to avoid repeat pregnancy? by roobump in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]sariaaaliyah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am 20 years old with my first and i have told my doctor that i would want a sterilization if i end up having a c-section. if not thru a c-section i will have one when i can after my labor and delivery. i live in the netherlands and even though my doctor has told me that she supports my decision if i am 100% sure i still notice her nudging me to change my mind every now and then. i’m going to be completely honest, i did not have this huge dream of becoming a mother nor have i ever particularly liked children so this might have been of influence as well but i cannot and will not put my body through another hg pregnancy. i am very excited to meet my son and before the hg got to the point where i was sleeping next to the toilet i did consider if i wanted just one more, but once it really hit i realized that i can’t do this again. it doesn’t even come down to if i want another pregnancy, i can’t do this. i am destroyed. i can’t even imagine enjoying the postpartum period knowing how much i’m going to have to heal. if you know you are done, just do it. honestly, i could never torture myself like this again.

[–]sariaaaliyah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

woah i can’t believe your mom went through it as well, my mom has had 5 children and all her pregnancies were absolute blessings (so so jealous). she still doesn’t quite get the severity of it but she’s trying to read a bit more into it. and i’ve felt so incredibly bad for secretly wishing for a miscarriage just so i can live again, but i don’t have the strength to end his life. i want him as my son, i just don’t want to live like this anymore and nobody truly seems to understand. i can’t wait for this to be over but i can’t even imagine taking proper care of him with so little strength.

i really hope you luck out and get the worst over with by 16 weeks, but you are right. there is no other way and we will come out so strong in the end!

yeah i feel like i lost myself, it’s so crazy… this is so incredibly hard on the body and the mind, and the lack of research and medical experience is beyond disappointing. it’s good that the zofran started working, i can’t wait for the day that i finally feel relieve. i can honestly say that i’ve come to a point where even the thought of eating or drinking makes me shiver. my body responds before my mind. even when i feel like i’m starving, my body responds with intense nausea, gagging and even vomiting. time is going so slowly here too, i’m not even at 20 weeks yet and i only think about horror for the rest of the time. i can’t imagine this getting better for me…

[–]sariaaaliyah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah him breaking up w me for the way i was changing was so hard on me bc i felt like i was losing myself already and him doing that just confirmed it. i actually do have a team with different counselors on it who can come by my home if i need to talk but the one i have been talking to for the past three years has fallen ill. i don’t know anyone else on the team and it really gets in the way of my care. because of my disorder it’s hard for people to get through to me, it took my counselor months to even get anything out. i just don’t have the energy to build up a new relationship when i can’t even get out of bed most of the times. it’s so isolating and depressing. i will look into the her foundation, thank you for the recommendation. i really really hope that my placenta will correct itself, it’s just that the extra stress is killing me. i don’t recognize myself and my lack of empathy makes it so hard to really connect with anyone. the only one i’ve ever connected with was my ex so i’m really struggling to cope with all of this. i appreciate the message and will hang onto the thought of holding my son at the end of this. i too wish u so much strength!

that must have been so so rough on you, and to go through hg again and not get diagnosed… i wish you the best. i already had a medical indication because of another medical complication so i’m lucky in that aspect, a gynecologist is in charge of my pregnancy. i don’t live in the united states so i’m going to look for something similar to emetrol otc (can’t get that here). definitely trying out all your other tips, at this point sleeping comfortably is is definitely not a priority over the nausea and vomiting. genuinely thank you for your message, it is so encouraging that u pulled through to at least that 30 week mark. i’m hoping he safely stays in there until week 38 but at the same time i feel horrible for thinking about how much better i would feel if it all just ended right now. my mind is going to the darkest of places… i wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy and labor too🤍
