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.
So many women on this thread have thought they couldn't get through this, but they did.

Oh dear, lucinda hope you are better soon :(

eggy YES about tea!! Missed it so much.

eggy me too today is awful had to leave work and narrowly avoided being sick in the car - thought I was going to have to abandon it in the middle of the street!

Hope you feel better soon.

Feel better soon Lucinda

Hope you feel better soon. Only ever had two proper migraines in my life and they were horrendous. Get well soon.

Sorry everyone who's feeling crappy today, seems like there are a few having a rougher than usual time of it. Here's hoping for some better days for everyone xx

I can't stop being sick. This is the worst it has been. Just bile every 15 mins or so. I haven't eaten properly today - is that why? Thought of food is blergh. Water won't stay down. In bed with a bucket :(

Should I try and eat? DH is making me some white rice. This sounds awful but I can't face the thought of vomiting up any food!

living sounds like you need to see a doc. o wouldnt bother trying to eat unless it helps - focus on any fluid ypu can stomach - ice lollies maybe? Could be a bug?

Rice was no good. And have now runs. I think it is a bug (thank goodness in a way!) DH has been very unwell with something similar so I think that is what it is, except he had no vomiting. Will try an ice lolly and ice cubes. I will phone gp in the morning if still bad.

Also took sickness tablet and kept it down for 35 mins - long enough or no? Not bothering with anything else medicinally tonight. DH phoning hospital to see what they want to do now.

Ouch, living, I hope it's a bug and goes soon. If you don't want to eat anything, don't. If you do want to try anything, then maybe thin soup? but one day without food / much water won't hurt. If it's a second day without water, that's notably more of a problem.

Hope the hospital can give good advice.

sorry to hear people feeling so pants especially so close to Christmas

have started stretching out my calves when Im at home with the heels hanging off a stair for 30 seconds

If it goes on through the night to call emergency gp. I think it's tailing off as now about 40 minute intervals between being sick. Madly sucking on ice cubes which are just so refreshing but I just want to have a huge drink! Even thouf

Whoops. Even though it will return. Hope this is over by tomorrow morning. The hospital said the baby would be unaffected so long as it does not last too long.

Sorry guys, you are suffering so close to the holidays. So am I - I felt so queasy and sick when I got home, and in so much pelvic pain that I came home and cried.

Sorry your all so poorly too.

Jen have you seem the physio for SPD. Your midwife should refer you and you'll be given a belt with a support band. I've even got the crutches now but try not to use them. The sooner you get help the less likely you are to get complications after birth.

Ps- living, I hope your sleeping now and not throwing up. Let us know how you are in the morning xxx

Sally this only started on wednesday. My next gp appt is on Monday, I will bring it up then.

Vomiting stopped around 11.30 where I kept some water down after then vomiting up some water with green food bits?! Google said that was bile but we are going to gp tomorrow to get checked because I have felt quite uncomfortable down there most of the night - not in my uterus but around it. I took some Paracetamol which also stayed down and sorted out my feeling a bit feverish. I'm now on the sofa as DH kept crowding me in bed! Just having some dry retching, keep waking up every hour to see if I need to vomit. So whilst sipping water thought I would post :) 3.40am and there's no way I am going to work tomorrow.

Hope none of you get this bug. It is really awful but the worst seems to have passed thank goodness. Thanks for the kind words :)

Was sick once more. Blergh. And the runs. Would rather have that than vomiting though. Sipping tiny amounts of water seems to be the way to go - too much and it's a disaster!

Oh living it sounds awful, hope you feel better soon.

I'm off to the hospital again. I'll update you all later xxx

I think you need a room with your name on the door there sally! :)

Living, hope you're feeling better. Good news for the women after us; from april they will offer the blood test in the NL www.nu.nl/algemeen/3655871/zwangere-vrouwen-kunnen-april-2014-nipt-test-doen.html

gah www.nu.nl/algemeen/3655871/zwangere-vrouwen-kunnen-april-2014-nipt-test-doen.html

Everyone Back up - thanks so much for kind wishes amongst your own nasty sufferings.
Now catching up on thread.
Livingzuid That sounds horrific - I do so hope you are feeling a tiny bit better. There's no way you could avoid getting dehydrated with that level of vomitingand I'm so glad you got reassurance from the medical people - you were so sensible to suck ice cubes. Fancy you being involved in training for something besides surviving - how do you women do it?
xx

sally hope it goes well.

Why am I always crying at doctors. Gp was lovely good news is my blood pressure is in a normal range and has dropped a bit. Just told to continue with all things icy and not to drink too much in one go. Just taken some Paracetamol which has helped with achey bones. No vomiting so far but so nauseous!

Off for a snooze. It got me thinking these poor women who have the severest hg must be like I was yesterday which is just terrible. I think I got off lightly!

meerka that is good news at last! Not sure I'm ever going through this again though DH said one is enough

Livingzuid Hugs,glad you are keeping liquids down. I have heard of women suffering so dreadfully that they had to be in hospital on an IV drip for months but that is very very rare, thank goodness - if you were as ill as you were yesterday it would be hell on earth for sure. A woman who had been that ill posted on here some threads ago, with a message of support. Wavesandsmiles on here a couple of threads ago, was so ill she had a permanent thing in her arm left in for IV and had to go for IV every day, but thank goodness she could leave the hospital.
Meerka Followed your link but didn't understand any of it - I can get by in French and Welsh but that's it!
Chaffinch How are things with you? SliceofLime Punkstar and Others? Howly is very quiet, and some others...Mother hen, having pecked at some toast, begins to flap and cluck again...
