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.

MOH's wonderful website is full of useful information on this illness:
sites.google.com/site/pregnancysicknesssos/
Another invaluable website is:

I would like to thank 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.

ah so sorry to hear of the depression, facial muscles and abcesses - as if the bloody vomiting isn't enough!

Jen just do it day by day. the waiting is hideous isn't it, I went 11 days over with dd1 - Jeez I was ready to murder somebody.

that's one nicety about a section; you know it's going to be week 39 or thereabouts, there's no interminable wait-and-see

love classical music too, Lucinda our dad played it us loud volume in the car from a very young age and we'd all act out different instruments - I get my kids to do it now

ChaffinchOfDoom · 03/02/2014 19:55

Meerka · 04/02/2014 07:33

Thanks! I actualy listen to toccata and futue and the Pachelbel cannon now and then. I'll hunt up the others :)

Meerka · 04/02/2014 07:36

doomfinch that Smetana is sending shivers up and down my spine.

SliceOfLime · 04/02/2014 09:07

I walked up the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon and it still brings a tear to my eye! I hardly ever have music on at home usually radio 4. Need to listen to music more!

Threw up oatibix this morning in front of dd, she hasn't seen me be sick yet so I was worried she's be scared... No... She just said "mummy have you finished? Can you play now?!" The resilience of kids... I had to beg her to let me rest for a few minutes afterwards!

LucindaE · 04/02/2014 09:20

Chaffinch My PC speakers don't work - can't play it - it must be lovely.
Weirdly, my DD recognised when she was little a piece I used to have on repeatedly when she was still inside and hadn't played since. How do they hear through all that liquid?
Sorry, Everyone that was vaguely connected to helping the sense of miserable helplessness that comes with this scourge. I hope SPD, abcesses and torn muscles not too horribly painful. I used to say on previous threads that this like some horrible board game - eat some crisps, go forward one space, bad day, go back two...I used to have a board game with a lovely pink castle shown at the end square and that's how I think of the ending to this misery. I hope too nobody has landed on the square 'Go straight to hospital; do not pass Go, Do not collect £100...'

I love Joseph Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne/bailero with Dame Kiri. My favourite classical piece ever. Have played it to the baby a lot! And makes me cry oh dear.

But will check out the others! Had best get up to take Dh to work very blergh today.

livingzuid · 04/02/2014 09:39

Oh and a lovely album for a great mix is Very Best of Relaxing Classics. It's on Spotify . I got an app to listen to all the UK stations and have Classic fm back such bliss. Dutch radio ranges from dull to utterly shocking with their take on German beer Hall music in between!

livingzuid · 04/02/2014 09:42

And will Mozart really make my baby more intelligent?

LucindaE · 04/02/2014 10:13

SliceofLime That's an orignal wedding march, sweet memory. Funny about your DD - you must be an expert quiet puker!

Lauranne · 04/02/2014 10:24

Thank you for asking after me, I am mostly puking, doing school run, laying helplessly on the sofa, puking school run ad infinitum. Am 17+1 today, just 22+6 to go!

Hope today, offers you all some pockets of respite x even if they are short lived x

LucindaE · 04/02/2014 11:16

Lauranne Poor you, it's awful that its so violent. That school run mus be hell. I'm really sorry that I can't trace what meds you said you were on - can't they improve on them at all, it sounds like you have a really nasty case for it still to be so bad. I think you said you had a hospital visit only days since?

Tallyra · 04/02/2014 12:45

I was about to post that I didn't know any Smetana but I played that piece and it's one of my favourites. I love the Eastern European type composers, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky.

I'm so sorry Lauranne that sounds terrible!! You really should look into the drugs and whether you can be put on anything else. Even Steroids, much as they are not nice to take, they really help some people.

livingzuid · 04/02/2014 13:25

Lauranne that's rubbish, so sorry :( I know what you mean about the sofa, mine has a permanent indent of my ever increasing body.

Tallyra Tchaikovsky is another favourite. I can't wait to take this baby to see the Nutcracker when she is old enough. Pure magic :) There was a book when I was little about a girl who went to the Nutcracker at the Royal Ballet and it was wonderful. I may have to look that up now!

Lime I finally pm-ed you hooray :)

My baby book arrived today, which is very exciting. I got Your Baby Week By Week. I am sure that we will just end up muddling along but it is nice to have some idea in advance. I also ordered the natal hypnotherapy CDs for birth which should be here by next week. By Maggy someone. I like being organised.

Aside from that, got DH to work, did a bit of shopping and then collapsed on the sofa again when got in to do a couple of job thingys. Applying for jobs I don't want is really odd. Every time I send off an application I really hope they don't invite me to interview! Fortunately competition is so fierce I don't think I have too much to worry about.

Hope everyone is ok today.

jenpatnim · 04/02/2014 17:03

I am amused by your classical music selections. I confess that I rather counter-actively choose music to match my mood, rather than counteract it. So it has been all emo rock (my chemical romance etc) for the last week or so - I am so ashamed to admit it! Although I did think that MAYBE if I listen to music that is really tragically bad, the baby will come sooner just to get away from it? Ha

LucindaE · 04/02/2014 17:58

Jen As long as baby doesn't grow up to be a teenager playing it full blast in room as retro - lol. I take your point - cathartic might be the word? A piece definitely non classical that never fails to make me laugh - idiotic sexism - Lou Bega, 'Mambo No 5' particularly the daft dance he talks you through.
Livingzuid That is so funny about beer chants!
Lauranne How are the liquids staying down, mother hen clucks anxiously?

I vomited this afternoon first time in ages :( but better now. Been really emotional this afternoon had a huge sob because of not being able to breastfeed and having to skip huge chunks of the start of the book and panicked that we won't bond and I won't be giving her the best start. Dh had to call me from work! I got so sad at the thought of her being taken at night by the nurses and not being with me and Dh at night at first waaaaaa. This hormone thing is crazy too!

livingzuid · 04/02/2014 18:10

There are also several digital channels devoted to Dutch folk music I suppose it is. Oranje TV (orange) I watched in fascination. Didn't realise people listened to music like that still!

livingzuid · 04/02/2014 18:11

God why can't I post today. jen we had a lot of loud music on at the weekend that was pretty angry. This baby is growing up predominantly on a diet of Foo Fighters and Metallica type music. Fancied a change of pace today...

PunkStar · 04/02/2014 20:15

Ah love the music chat...
I play piano but have avoided so far in this pregnancy, perhaps I should have a bash. I love Pachelbel's canon too, mostly because I can actually play it...Debussy's Clair de Lune is another fave but can't play the bit that sounds like a waterfall very easily :-(

I've only been listening to a bit of music the past month or so, it enhanced the nausea too much before, was an absolute ballache! No metal here, bit of Alt J which has been on the top of my playlist for pretty much 18 months now, but I love An Awesome Wave so much.

Hello new folk....sorry you need to be here :-(

Really empathise with those feeling depressed, think I'm low too. Most days I don't even want to get out of bed but I know the HG is better than a month ago so I don't feel like I can blame that...I'm just fed up,

17+ weeks left here til CS day!!!

Tallyra · 04/02/2014 20:35

the mention of all this lovely classical music has reminded me of it. I had a great upbringing playing orchestral percussion and still love it, but I'm with you living, rock has been my main love! Metallica!
