There's no TMI on here - can't be by definition - and nobody should feel ashamed of moaning as much as they feel the need to.

Congratulations on baby, Natsku. 
. I am so sorry about hard time and blood loss. That is so debilitating. I hope you start to feel better soon.
Lottie I am sorry that despite the nausea,that was a very early mc.
Mother Hen flaps and clucks and hopes that regulars and other sufferers find their way here. I tried to contact Mumsnet HQ, but my emails aren't up at the moment, so it wouldn't accept my email address for me to send a message asking if I could post an extra message.
Thanks Lucinda 
Lost welcome, sorry you're having to be here, sounds like HG. You need to go back to gp and get better meds. Plenty that they can get, don't just accept the first one they have give . Unfortunately though some find the nausea doesn't go, it didn't for me on any meds before steroids 
Congratulations Natsku !
Yay to having avoided an induction and nay to having had a bad time and the blood loss.
So happy for you though that you are in the Pink Castle! Good news about baby feeding well.
Justtheonethen Heyyy! Was wondering where you were. Missed you on the thread lol
but was genuinely hoping you were feeling a lot better and finally enjoying the last bit of your pregnancy.
I am doing okay after a really bad relapse at 30 week. Finally starting to feel a bit better now.
YAY about the offer on the house!! That must be such a stress/burden lifted off your shoulders.
Hope any worry about Baby Just is cleared now.
35 weeeeekssss 🎉 another 3 weeks hopefully?
Lottie Handhold and big hug love.
Take care of yourself.
Ana Hope you are having an okay day today. Relating very strongly to the convo between you and Just. I am not far from becoming an angry feminist myself after having been scarred with pregnancy and the way I have been treated all this time.
Thanks for the shiny new thread Lucinda !
Bitzy i hope you are being admitted. It's so hard to advocate for yourself when you feel like death
Shehz oh I hope it's only 3 weeks
Nails don't accept that, if your ketones are 3+ go to a&e. If not then go to gp and get better meds!
Found the new thread, thanks Mother Hen Lucinda
Congrats to Natsku , hope you are recovering well from the difficult birth.
I've gotten to a weird stage now (12 wks) where the nausea is bearable until I eat or drink, and then it begins, followed by vomiting an hour or so later. I think it's an improvement over the overwhelming nonstop nausea and vomiting, but only slightly. Of course, when the stomach is empty, it leads to vomiting up bile and acid anyhow. Not sure if it's truly better in the long run. It's been like this since Sunday, we'll see how long it lasts.
Found you all, don't worry mother hen Lucinda I'm sure people will find us on the new thread.
Congratulations nat so wonderful that your baby is here, but really sorry you had a bad time of it during the birth. I hope you are able to rest and recover a little.
bitzy glad you've been admitted though it sounds rough, really hope they get thre fluids to you soon.
Well at nearly 38 weeks I have been nearly nausea free the last three days since I finished work. People always say how hard this last bit of pregnancy is, but honestly every otherwise uncomfortable thing just feels like a breeze and a dream compared with nausea. I actually feel like myself and have felt happy and positive about what is to come which hasn't been the case for most of pregnancy. It's so easy to underestimate the impact this sickness has on our mind and our bodies. It definitely is a feminist issue and I feel very strongly about it and the need to improve things for women with all levels of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, and especially hg. But I am rather a strident feminist anyway... (I love that phrase)! If men were suffering like this for weeks and months on end you can bet there wouldn't be so much talk of ginger and sickness sea bands as miracle cures 
I am so glad that people have been able to totter over here to find the new thread, clutching sick buckets or otherwise.
Anitidae I am really dismayed that they left you without a drink for 12 hours! What were they thinking of,even given the NHS crises that's not good enough.
LostMyBaubles They usually start with cyclizine but it often isn't strong enough There are stronger safe meds. An anti acid can make a big difference. What liquids help you? is this your first Hyperemesis pregnancy? If so, what do you think of full sugar flat coke, the juice of tinned fruit - and the fruit, especially peaches, ice lollies and sips of, Lucoazade, Elderflower Water, soda water, ice cubes, lemonade, fizzy orange, chocolate milkshake (maybe soya) Dr Pepper, or some swear by orange juice though some find it too acid. Also, people have found slices of mango and melon, cuppa soup (that was a great discovery by Blondeshavemorefun) nibbles of chips and crisps,and cheap ice cream. Have you got kesostix to check for the early stages of dehydration?
bitzy I am glad you have been admitted and I do hope now they manage to find a combination of meds that work. I am really sorry about the lack of sympathy you have had from GP's,and that your mother isn't good at showing sympathy. Glad she's helping you practically.
nails It may be normal to have sickness with a twin pregnancy, but not the point where you are wholly incapacitated. Have you got kesostix to check your ketones? I am glad Dr Pepper is helping, but at this rate you will end up having to be admitted for fluids. It might be worth phoning Pregnancy Sickness Support 0n 024 7638 2020 for advice on obtaining meds when doctors are refusing to prescribe . They will ring you back with great advice. The good thing is that the women expecting twins on here made far earlier recoveries than average.
I am so glad that Natsku has her baby now and about her brother's good news - but sorry about the blood loss.
justtheonethen waves.I hope you are doing OK?
Shehz I had the fabulous Pink Castle redecorated specially for Natsku and you should be impressed when you cross the drawbridge.,Re the remarks of you and Anitidae I am a vintage 1980's feminist, and suffering this scourge is enough to make one feel fanatical because it is so often dismissed as Women Making a Big Fuss About A Little Bit of Nausea.
Mustang I am sorry that the scars remain. Sadly,I think it is typical. As you say,with LO's you dont' have time to brood, but I think PTSD from it is very common, just not diagnosed. I once burst into tears in the street about how dismissively I'd been treated, when my daughter was two!
Endorra That sounds horrible enough. Remind me what meds you are on? I seem to remember you were on a number and anti acid wasn't helping.
Emu Happy news about ML and no nausea. No doubt the resting helps.
I hope Didn't and Elephant and everyone finds us.
Apologies if I've overlooked anyone. The blasted library is closed tomorrow, but by a miracle, that PC man may yet have done it by tomorrow afternoon. He keeps phoning and saying he's detected another fault. But he doesn't seem to be a cowboy; he's come with recommendations.
