I hope everyone suffering from the Horrors of Hyperemesis will find this thread useful as a source of support and information.

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.

I used to include extracts from MOH's wonderful website
sites.google.com/site/pregnancysicknesssos/
but I think that makes this link less visible so am merely putting the link. The information on this site is invaluable for sufferers, with information about medications, coping strategies, hospital admissions, useful links, advice for family members, and much more.

I would like to thank MOH and Everyone who has given such invaluable support and advice on this and on previous threads.

Remember when you are at your worst, 'This Too Shall Pass'. It really will.

hey how is everyone today?
having a crappy start today. think i overdid things yesterday after feeling ok in morning and ended up sick in the evening. horribly nauseous and retching this morning but ondansetron seems to he stopping me actually vomiting. constipation is awful but so is the lactulose induced sickness. feeling generally glum about the state of the house, not being able to do enough with the kids, not being able to walk the dog etc. generally feel like im letting everyone down at the moment which i know i cant help but still so guilty

Meerka · 15/10/2013 08:49

oh dear, everyone having a tough time :( I do hope it improves.

Have just hit week 12 and am quite happy about it as it means the chance of miscarriage is notably lower now. Slightly ironic - from planning to contact the termination clinic to being glad the little one is hanging in there. The last few days have been a bit better on the sickness front tho

eggybrokenoff · 15/10/2013 09:19

congrats meerka. i get what you mean - i have been seriously considering whether i can continue this but i know if i miscarried i would be devastated. beginning to think that is normal emotion for hg women

MurderOfBanshees · 15/10/2013 09:29

Weird isn't it Meerka? Had a scare the other day, was getting pre-eclampsia symptoms, and while a few weeks I'd have been grateful for the chance it would all end, instead I was panicking about losing the baby.

I'm off for my 16 week check in a minute, should find out if I have diabetes as well. Dreading it. :(

Meerka · 15/10/2013 09:41

oh good luck, MoB, will be thinking of you. Do hope you've avoided diabetes, that's the last thing you need

Hyperhelpmum · 15/10/2013 09:50

Hello all not posted for a while as been flat out with work and kids. First day of mat leave and sat here feeling sick as a dog. I'm 35 weeks now and having a c section at 39 weeks. Dreading the sickness getting worse but glad I can now rest a bit whilst kids at school/ preschool and hoping that will help. Hope everyone else is surviving the horrific early stages. I had an awful time but things not nearly so bad now and I'm on the home run!

MurderOfBanshees · 15/10/2013 11:11

Good news, no diabetes! So relieved :)

hyper Not long now, so excited for you!

eggybrokenoff · 15/10/2013 12:15

such great news mob brilliant!

Meerka · 15/10/2013 13:10

hi hyper, glad things are a little better. well, quite a lot better? not far to go now :)

and MoB really pleased to hear that. what a relief.

eggybrokenoff · 15/10/2013 14:41

what fresh hell is this?! tmi alert - can lactulose cause diarroeah (sp?) or have i now got a bug on top of everything else?? oh well. to quote trainspotting 'i am no longer constipated'. grim

Hyperhelpmum · 15/10/2013 15:05

Latulose can cause 'looseness' but if its prolonged extreme runs treat it like a bug :( poor you. I feel blinking awful SO sick all day. Is this what I have to look forward to for next 4 weeks? Had heard it gets worse in last month again. Urgh. :(

eggybrokenoff · 15/10/2013 15:11

we are both on countdown - you to a baby me to 12 week scan! my ds1 was a couple of weeks early. im sure my body had just had enough and kicked him out! try and rest as much as possible

Hyperhelpmum · 15/10/2013 18:10

Thanks eggy wondering if I have a bug as feel so sick today. If this baby came early (as long as healthy) I would be more than happy. Can't bear this sickness. Feel like a caged animal, really trapped, can't escape it and no relief :(

eggybrokenoff · 15/10/2013 18:47

are you still on meds? maybe they could gibe you something else for last few weeks? do you have other dcs?

Hyperhelpmum · 15/10/2013 19:52

No stopped meds at about 22 weeks as they made me groggy/ constipated. I was on ondansetron and cyclizine. Yes I have two DC aged 5 and 3. DC 2 just had the worst runs everywhere. Looks like its a bug then. Not nice clearing up when u feel like I do :(
