HG TTC/Pregnancy support group!

[therandomUN]

I thought I might start a thread for anyone TTC who will likely have another HG pregnancy.

It’s such an exciting time but also the terrifying feeling of knowing what’s to come can feel so alone. It would be great to get a little support group going!

This won’t be my first pregnancy but we’re both hoping against hope it will be the first where I will be able to make it through the first two months.

I’d love to hear from anyone else in the same boat.

Hey! I'll join! I am TTC for our rainbow baby 🌈

I've had 3 HG pregnancies.
1st pregnancy - HG lasted until delivery
2nd pregnancy - HG eased up at 28 weeks
3rd pregnancy - by far the worse HG yet, miscarried at 13 weeks.

For all of them I was admitted to hospital numerous times. I've just recovered properly from my last HG pregnancy that ended in miscarriage. It caused me to lose excessive weight, damaged my oesophagus, and fear of food for fear of vomiting!

I'm so desperate for baby number 3...but so scared because I know what I will have to deal with and it will take away me being 100% on form for my two little ones. However my children are amazing, easy going, and I have a great husband who understands HG and supports me. Xx

Thank you for joining, I'm so sorry to hear about your MC.

How far into TTC are you?

This month we (and by we, I mean me - my lovely OH has been ready for about a year) finally felt emotionally ready to try again. It's just so heavy knowing what's to come, and all the planning. Would be fine if you have no animals/job/children but it's like a FT job trying to prepare to be bedridden for months 😑
