Hello Everyone,
I'm currently not pregnant; had my LO in November 2020. I had HG when I was pregnant and had to go off work for almost three months.
We are considering planning for baby no.2 next year or the following year and this brought the memories. HG is traumatic and for everyone who goes through this whether they chose to not go through to term or carryy through to term; I believe we are the strongest women!
HG is so different in every woman; e.g. I had phantom smells, everyone smelled of garlic so to help me, I had to brush my teeth very often and also had to brush my lips 
In my second trimester I had migraines for over a week, after loads of pushing back by the hospital, I was asked to go into the hospital; I was given codeine and paracetamol and then the worst happened: it turns out I'm allergic to codiene; my blood pressure dropped to 52/32!
I believe God was the reason why I didn't have a stroke!!! We made it! Yes we did, I had my little boy at 40 weeks and four days.
Hang in there ladies, this will surely pass
Wowee I had such a great day yesterday! So glad I was feeling good on my birthday. I had a normal eating day and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Cereals, bacon roll, an ice cream from the best ice cream factory ever and a roast chicken dinner cooked by my mum I'm 11+2 today and seriously surprised at how good I'm feeling. I don't want to count my chickens but I hope I'm on the up for a bit.
How is everyone else?
Hello everyone, just been catching up, sorry that starrynight and pickofthepops and others have been having such a hard time, I've been thinking of all you ladies a lot. Chaffinch 12 DAYS!!!!!!! More than a bit excited on your behalf, roll on the end of puking. Oh and of course seeing your beautiful baby
I've been doing pretty well touch wood, dealing with food a lot better. 19.5 weeks and I seem to remember improving around this sort of time last time round. Fresh air helps now that I'm slightly better (for those who were asking about going out) but when I was a my worst it was just a punishment and not helpful at all. Really hoping for no relapse now...
