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.

MOH's wonderful website is full of useful information on this illness:

Another invaluable website is:

Lastly, the NICE guidelines on treatment are useful:

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.

Amy I'm so sorry to hear the news. The readings could mean nothing so will keep my fx for you. Xx

Feel absolutely wretched. Vomiting loads since afternoon. Think the cold is aggravating the hg.

Oh reebok that's not good :( this time of year is rotten for everything. I hope you feel better soon

amys how worrying .... will be thinking of you. Will really be hoping for the best with the CVS test. Have they told you when it will be?

iam prochloperazine is used as a common travel remedy. It used to be used as an anti-psychotic (don't worry!) but I believe less so nowadays. It comes as a tablet and also as an under-lip tablet that you don't swallow, you put it under your lip and let it dissolve. It's helped quite a few people. I think it works on your inner ear and balance.

reebok sending you gentle thoughts.

Amys, that is really distressing for you, I'm so sorry. In my previous pregnancy the nuchal fold and bloods came back as 'high risk' for Down's. After some real agonising we decided against the amnio or CVS and he turned out just fine. Thinking of you.
Thanks Shoop and Meer for your concern. My main motive for reducing the Onsan is to hopefully lessen the constipation. That did cross my mind too Meer, about exhaustion triggering the vom session. Shoop, don't worry, if I feel that after a few days I'm going backwards I'll go straight back to 3x a day!
Reebok, sounds like you've had a truly awful day. I'm about go get ready for bed with my hot water bottle; I suggest you do the same!

Got to wait for appointment to come through meer thanksMoP all of these stories are really uplifting xxx

I had the CVS test due to high (age related) downs risk and it came back fine.

amysmummy Really feeling for you. I don't know if this is any encouragement. They didn't do the test you had in my days, so long ago; we had blood tests, and mine came back as one n thirty three, so I was recomemended an amnio. All was fine, but I felt the baby's movements on the very day of the amnio, and it was very hard. I also knew a woman who had a one in four risk, and all was fine. It is so hard waiting.
Reebok Oh no, poor you. I do hope the miserable cold clears up soon.
That is a particularly vicious one.

Shoop get to speak to someone about your mood who ll listen they should take this very seriously I'm angry on your behalf... exercise what a knob

Icant glad your eating !!!!!!

Reebok you seem to be still suffering loads :(

Amy - all I know from go ogling is that the fold result on its. Own means nothing ... wait for bloods if it's bad they let you know in less than 4 days here what about ur end ??

Plus.its still only a guess no guarantee s .. where there any software markers for downs ? Or any other problems ... Ie no nasal bone xx

They didn't mention the other markers spandau I've only found out about these since coming from the hospital, if I had known I would have asked 😞 hopefully the bloods will come back sharpish xx

Thanks everyone. Mop I've been in bed a while but can't breathe therefore can't sleep. Anyone know if you can have tunes or halls menthol when pregnant? I'm desperate!

Spandau yes unfortunately I still am. Would have thought that at 18+3 I would be better!

Amys sending you positive thoughts.

Icant wonderful news about the appetite.

My mouth tastes gross! Excess phlegm and saliva is making me feel sicker!

Didn't they tell you at the scan ?? X

About the markers? Never mentioned them, just the nuchal fluid..

MoP try extending the gaps between doses rather than cutting a dose, if you see what I mean?

amys that must be such a worry.

reebok the only way to take the evil taste away was to such sweets, i found

suck*. might ath help?

Sounds like we re all having a bit of a time of it :(

Amys - sorry to hear you didnt have good news at scan. Cross my fingers for you that further tests come back with better news

Reebok - I not aware of anything you can take for your cold. When i had the viral infection i slept in raised position on a mountain of pillows and used an olbas oil stick. My LO had a thing you plug in the wall by calpol which was camomil ans lavender scented which helped a bit.

Already sleeping in a raised position Charlie due to reflux. Doesn't help.

Meerka sweets only help for about a minute. Pregnancy well and truly sucks.

Have been awake for hours because I can't breathe. Decided to call in sick today. Nothing has been organized yet in terms of which class I'm covering so won't make a difference if I'm in or not. My health and baby comes first! Feel absolutely rotten.

Reebok Hope that you get to rest today. Best way to deal with it.

reebok how utterly miserable :( rest as much as you can

reebok I hope you don't have to work today and get to rest

Thanks. Definitely not going in. I was awake between 1 and 5.30. I feel like utter shit so called in sick. No point in making myself worse especially since the kids at school will be spreading germs. Once oh drops dd to nursery I can rest.

Reebok I'm so glad you're not going to work today. Hopefully a day in bed will sort out your cold.
Ealli, yes I think I need to space out my doses better. The trouble is that my worst time of the day is pretty concentrated between 2-6, so that's shaped when I take my doses.
Hope everyone has a reasonable day today.

Morning all, woke up with a rotten cold, heaving when I blow my nose bleaurgh 😞 dd has a barking cough too, poor lamb. Woke up with such mixed emotions after yesterdays scan, one minute I feel so positive, then the next I feel like I'm being foolish and if anything bad is going to happen it's bound to be us 😞 sorry to moan, reebok glad you're getting some rest, nothing worse than tiredness to make the sick worse xx

amysmummy You have every right to moan. The stress must be awful for you, and a cold on top of that, too. I found the stress of worry made the Hyperemesis come back again when it had been easing off.
Reebok I am so glad you are taking the day off. You sound in no state to go in; I don't know how you've kept going.
Ican't spandau and everyone, I hope coping today?
