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:
sites.google.com/site/pregnancysicknesssos
Another invaluable website is:
www.pregnancysicknesssupport.org.uk

If you need help in obtaining medication, this phone number is great: 024 7638 2020

Lastly, the NICE guidelines on treatment are useful:
cks.nice.org.uk/nauseavomiting-in-pregnancy#!scenario

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.

Oh god I've just been sick everywhere. I felt awful but I do feel better after puking. God I can't wait for this to be over xx

Harper I feel so relieved when I have been sick after feeling completely dodgy takes the edge off for me

BlueIsYou me too I feel a whole lot better it's just the build up that I hate. Don't feel so relieved for my carpet however! Lucky I have my little blue puke basket called Steve. Steve is always handy xx

Harper, I was surgically attached to my bowl until about 16 weeks. I carried it everywhere around the house with me. Lately the vomiting has been less but the last few days I've really been caught out. Think my bowl will need to accompany me again (I haven't named it yet!)

Just found this article and thought I'd share
gabrielledaigle.com/2013/04/29/what-every-woman-with-severe-morning-sickness-wants-you-to-know/

That's a great article! Can so relate to a lot of that. My boss could do with the link!

Hi mum how are you feeling today? Xx

@Lemondrop99 I think it's best to name your sick bowl. Creates an emotional bond that is only rivalled by my hubby. And maybe DS as well but so far he's not helped me, with him wanting get and attention and all that "necessary" stuff lol xx

*fed xx

Yep that link pretty much covers it Lemon!!! Oh stick with the walking dead it's brilliant there are a couple of slow bits but I'm a massive fan and I'd literally tear Andrew lincolns clothes off if I got a chance . Pregnancy hormones I swear lol.

Oh wow everyone is struggling so much, not sure why I say that like I'm surprised I'm not, I just wish it was better for everyone.

Hi to all the new faces I hope it's short lived for you all.

Oh Pippa how are you feeling now? To tonsillitis is bloody horrible.

Had a couple of days where nausea subsided from about a 9 to a 3 on the scale but it's creeping back up and I'm about a 7 today 😢. Still vomiting 2-3 times a day but I'm coping with that. Still have this filthy virus but my mini man is much better it's so nice to see him a bit better.

@Mustang27 Andrew is a yummy specimen. Wouldn't mind munching on him if you know what I mean 😉. For some reason I'm more of a Norman Reedus girl. Something about Daryl xx

Haha my wee boy actually has a Daryl hairstyle it's just grown like that and I love it. All the old ladies tell me I have a beautiful wee girl lol, boys and long hair clearly confusing. I'm quite partial to Norman too. Oh and Jeffery Dean Morgan haha.

I nearly said something that would have been a huge spoiler for Lemon lol.

Covers eyes 🙈

It's ok Lemon I won't spoil it. Just stick with it and vent in here when they do awful things, trust me you will need to talk it out lol. If you can get all the old talking dead episodes watch them too they are great. It's awesome to see the cast interviewed.

I'm waiting patiently for GoT to start

Lemon that article is so true.

Not long to wait Mustang!!

I know Oklahoma and they do awful things I'm not so sure I can endure with these pregnancy hormones but I do love a good "shout" at the telly lol. I'm up north when it airs, going to have to wait to get my fix.

My DH is the luckiest person in the world when it comes to tv and films. He kept pausing Walking Dead yesterday to rant about various things - like how Rick's wound constantly moves. There were some dumb bits that didn't make sense but overall I enjoyed it and will keep watching.

I'm also very excited for GoT - particularly as the books are clearly never going to come out so this is the only conclusion I'm going to get. Plus I rather enjoy a bit of John Snow eye candy

Luckiest?! I mean pickiest. Autocorrect on my phone is being a right pain today

Thanks all for the kind words. I am pretty much trying to hibernate my way through it, just have to get through the next couple of days and I'm sure I'll start to feel better. At least ice lollies are staying down today for the most part!

Welcome to Bluesyou. Sorry you are still suffering. Ridiculous comment by that HOD. I'll guess boy.
Much sympathy to pippasnippa over tonsilitis. I'll guess girl for 1984fs and have added your date. Daffodil so true about the drawbridge to the Pink Castle being down for HaichM. Much sympathy for Lemondrop over returned puking and 29Harper over being sick everywhere. It is very hard to endure when at its worst. Take it a day at a time.

I hopeMumoftheark got that ambulance!

I have to admit i do notice these things a lot but don't tend to let them distract me if I'm enjoying the story line. Haha that would drive me nuts the pausing all the time to point it out though. He should be in the business it's shocking some of the stuff they miss.

Oh Pippa i feel for you I do think your body just gets to the point of giving up with this stuff.

@BlueIsYou I'm going to guess boy on yours. Just been reading up on some scan gender theories - skull and nub. Probably not in the slightest bit reliable but quite fun/interesting! X

Well, I just had sausage chips and fried egg for dinner and I've never been happier thats a lie i almost cried from how good a burger was once
And my mum is coming down on Sunday.
And I have all of the info on my graduation ceremony.. there's going to be a ferris wheel, ice cream, and i get to meet Dawn French, who's our chancellor. Kinda excited

Sorry! That was a bit of a rubbish one as quite late to guess from.

I think nub theory only works up to a certain point? Don't quote me on that one.

Here was my gender scan from about 16 weeks

Any guesses from this?

Will reveal in the evening I lead such a boring life that I'm excited to see what everyone thinks

My guess is boy :)
