Hyperemesis Support

[LucindaE]

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.

Hi everyone....
Meerka (fibroid sister) thank you I've put my mind at rest that its pretty harmless. Hope you feeling a bit better.

I'm with you guys on the....before I eat this....what is it gna taste like as it orally evacuates.... Truly horrible and sometimes the sweeter foods you think wouldn't be to bad are the worst
Anyhow I don't want to make any of us feel any worse so ill end there.

Ps Welcome living....although sorry to hear you suffering....I've also found that I've fallen out with my two main loves....Ben&Jerry....never thought I'd say that....enjoy the Capri suns! X

i have my scan tomorrow and im terrified. prob not a topic for this thread really but it is making me feel sicker all the anxiety. so worried tonight

Eggy good luck for tmrw....is it your 12 wks? I had mine yesterday....hope all goes well x

eggy ofc you can talk about it if it helps. This thread surely is for the whole woman, not just the part of her that's sick!

I do hope it goes well and will be thinking of you. all the best.

yes 12 weeks and haunted by chance of mmc or not growing properly or something.

yes, it is exactly that, haunting isnt it, the fear. Chances are that all will be well but will be thinking of you, let us know how it goes

It's an anxious time....we make ourselves worse with all the worry....hope you manage some sleep and all is well. Will be thinking of you

its so silly - not like worrying will change the outcome. but still cant help it!

Eggy, thinking of you for tomorrow. xx I was more scared of the 20 week scan but I understand.

I feel sick and tired today, long day at work. Tummy is sore and feels tight, like I am wearing too tight jeans. Ugh. Plus nausea.

Fingers crossed for you eggy, I feel for you. I had the same worries.

jen - i will be even worse for 20 week scan!!

try some derma mum cream. it is so thick and soothing it really helps

I've been using Avon tissue oil.... at least it smells nice

Hi all. Good luck with the scan tomorrow Eggy. It's is nerve wracking. I am building up to the 20 week scan and getting nervous. It should be next week but we are away so moved it toted he week after.

Hi to the new faces. Sorry you have to join!

I am mostly ok now. Got constant gross mouth taste and eating loads of crap but the nausea has mostly disappeared. Feel v lucky.

yes, good luck Eggy, I'm sure it will be fine.

Eggy Good luck, as others say, the chances are heavily on your side; I was nervous too because of mmc before. Hugs.
Jen Sorry you feel bad today.
Livingzuid Oh dear, and I wasn't that horrified by strawberry ice cream's to use Handbagsterm, 'Orally evacuating' I like that
term.
SicknSpan How are you today? I saw an old friend, MilkTrayLady on your thread - it's always nice to see people when they are better again. I am delighted Kalidasa is going for it again - when she was stuck in bed too ill even to listen to the radio, I used to think, 'What can I say of any comfort to her but I must try' and here she is, ready to brave it again!
Totes So glad the nausea has mostly gone!
Meerka Hugs. I'm glad you enjoyed an outing of sorts the other day!
Hope the New People and Everyone are Ok.
xx

Morning all eggy wishing you all the best with today's scan am sure it will be fine. I have exactly the same terror that it will turn out to be a mmc - I will be pretty angry if I've gone through all this sickness for nothing! I scared myself silly googling it all so DH banned me.
I did read on another thread that by now chances of a mmc are almost non existent but it is so hard I know. I am sure it will be OK though today for you :)

jen sorry you are feeling so bad.

Well I overdid it yesterday I was too excited about eating again and made a schoolgirl error of having a white chunky kitkat and then dinner. The kitkat returned first and then about 10 pm so did tea. It was awful. My stomach at the top was so sore. I just do not know what I can eat any more nothing seems to stay down. May just stick to frozen fruit and white toast as that seems to be my limit.

meerka great news on the outing! It feels like a prison this sickness. Hope you had a good day. I will check out those sinks you sent too thank you for those.

Livingzuid Oh dear about kitkat and dinner. Horrible.
You were sent 'sinks?' Or is that 'links', ha, ha!
Hope you and Everyone feels better today.
xx

good morning :)

glad to say that yes, things are definitely improving. Can eat now, and um, therefore go to the toilet. Both are quite a relief! the nausea still hits in the afternoon/evenings and the taste in my mouth would make a vulture ashamed but oh, such a relief to be a bit better. even picked up my son from school twice since friday, plan to try it again tomorrow. Its so lovely to be able to sit on the sofa with him and watch tv. cant do much more than that, but it's enough for now.

'make a vulture ashamed'

Morning glad you feeling a little better Meerka

Awful morning dp away so had to drop dd at nursey. It was so hot in there and smelt of porridge and play doh I'm ashamed to say I had to be sick in one of the mini toilets.

Seriously fed up of feeling like this 24/7.

Handbags You should be proud you were tidy enough to make it to one, with a smell like that. Hugs. feeling like this twenty four seven will pass.
Meerka So glad to hear of improvement. Someone on here recommended parma violets for the dreadful taste n the mouth. I swore by a supply of old fashioned barley sugar I got from a funny old sweet shop that helped with the excess saliva, too.
xx

Meerka are you suffereing from the excessive saliva thing too? Its awful isn't it. I know I have to swallow it as it'll just add to my dehydration but it's so revolting, I have to really concentrate all my efforts on not gagging (and don't always manage). Thanks for the tip about Barley sugars Lucinda- I will drop into the garage on the school run and get some. Heaven knows what this pregnancy is doing to my teeth, I haven't been able to brush them properly for weeks plus now there is going to be a barrage of sugar to contend with.

Handbags did you say you've had your 12 week scan recently? How was is? Very exciting!

Comforting thoughts to all. Just off to have a shower pre-school run, my hair is like an oil slick and I probably smell. Everything seems to be distilled, including odours! Yuk. Find it v hard to shower in the morning, needs to be when I've had a chance to be still for a couple of hours that I'm less likely to puke from the movement. I will evolve to just fingers (for mning) and eyes (again for mning!) soon :)

yay all fine with scan - just the one wiggly babe
