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, phone them on:
024 7638 2020
Lastly, the NICE guidelines on treatment are useful:
cks.nice.org.uk/nauseavomiting-in-pregnancy
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.

put She’s absolutely beautiful and such a perfect name too! Now go eat ALL the foods!

Thanks everyone for nice messages. Sadly, I’m no longer pregnant. Just about to have a long hot shower and then climb into bed and try to find something funny to watch.

Hopefully we’ll be back to TTC soon ish so I’ll continue to lurk on this board and keep tabs on you all! x

BlueButTrue · 09/11/2017 13:50

I hope the labour wasn’t too bad too. Enjoy your precious little one. I hope I feel the same rush of love that you do too Flowers

putput congratulations! Merryn is a beautiful name. That switch flipping off is something I'm looking forward to as well.

drifters I'm so sorry to hear thatFlowers

Natsku · 09/11/2017 15:12

put congratulations, she is lovely!

drifters so so sorry, wishing you all the best with TTC

Well the new doctor at the maternity clinic is not as helpful as the previous doctor :( Told her all the issues (sickness is bad again, heartburn, possible SPD, bloody haemorrhoids etc.) and all she said was 'Oh you've got a lot of problems' but no advice on any of them! I asked about my prescription and she wasn't sure, said she'd have to consult the gynaecologist so now I have to wait until next week to find out if I'll get the prescription renewed or not (and seemed to think if that's a no there's no other option, I had to point out the option of ondansetron), no help for the possible SPD, didn't even ask where the pains were to figure out if its SPD or not, I didn't bother asking about heartburn meds as I figured she wouldn't be much help with that either. I asked about flying to England and she said she won't write a note for the airline but to be fair I can understand why considering all I had been moaning about before!

HB has dropped even more despite taking the liquid iron, its 9.1 now, no wonder I feel so exhausted and need to nap every day. Everything else is ok though, blood sugar monitoring was fine so don't have to be referred to the GD clinic, and bump is measuring fine and I've put on 8kg altogether which has to be good despite the sickness!

Natsku · 09/11/2017 15:14

Wonder how OnNaturesCourse is getting on.

DeadDoorpost · 09/11/2017 15:44

I wonder how @weasledee is doing too. Hopefully she's not suffering with HG and that the pregnancy is going ok.
I have a feeling Nature has either had her baby and is waiting and resting or she's so totally fed up with nothing going on. I still hope everything went smoothly for her though regardless...

Shehz21 · 09/11/2017 16:22

PutPut Oh your post made my day!(The rest of the year!). It must be feeling so so great to be finally HG free and to be the mum to such a beautiful baby. The name you've chosen is gorgeous as well. Many many congratulations Flowers

TwoDrifters I am so sorry for your loss. Goodluck for your TTC journey once you are ready both physically and emotionally.
Will be thinking of youFlowers

NerNerNerNerBATMAN · 09/11/2017 16:33

Goodness me this thread moves fast. So sorry for your loss Two Flowers

Please can you indulge me in a massive whinge?

I'm so so so fed up with this. I've been in bed for weeks and lost count of the number of weeks I've been signed off.

I'm grateful to be pg as wasn't sure it would happen again but fuck me this is hideous. I've never been so ill in my life.

DH has been great but even he's bored of it now. Some days go by and I only talk to DH and toddler DD. I'm making an effort with staying in contact with ppl and friends have been very kind, BUT IT NEVER ENDS!!!

I can see how people go crazy with loneliness and isolation.

I've read the entire internet, watched all of Netflix and almost completed candy crush not really

My life used to be so much more interesting than this. I'm bored of being me now.

Sorry for the rant, just needed to let it out somewhere Flowers

Mustang27 · 09/11/2017 16:35

Oh wow Merryn is beautiful Put so glad it’s all over for you.

I’m so sorry Two. Massive hugs.

Dead I meant to say I’d saw weasel had some bad news again it was on another thread so didn’t go crash it. Hope you are coping ok though Weasel. Sorry for your loss.

Oklahoma · 09/11/2017 16:49

Batman I really sympathise with how you are feeling. I have found the monotony the hardest part of HG. It’s just a daily grind with no respite. Oklette and DH are great but they are so fed up with it too. The whole family ends up living through HG.

BunnyFluffy · 09/11/2017 16:51

BATMAN moan away.
I feel the same (although I don't think I have it quite as bad as you do)
It SUCKS

BunnyFluffy · 09/11/2017 16:54

You know your life has become really sad, when the fact that 'Eat Well For Less' is not on the telly when you thought it would be is a devastating event

justtheonethen · 09/11/2017 16:54

batman it is the worst. It does get a bit easier but it's shit, its monotonous and it's really isolating. Flowers

Shehz21 · 09/11/2017 16:56

Mustang oh no.. I hope she is coping as well...

Batman I had to resign as soon as I got my BFP. I was very sick on the same day and it only took couple of more days to spiral into a full fledge HG nightmare. Although I am better as compared to the first 14/16 weeks, I can't imagine going in at 21 weeks now. Normal everyday tasks such as keeping the house tidy,washing the dishes,cooking meals etc can set it off so I wonder what my work fatigue would have done. I am in complete awe of women who are currently working and battling HG. I am afraid to admit I am a much weaker woman.
I am so bored of out my mind as well but MN and netflix are helping me get through every day. Also trying to think I only have another 19 weeks of this and I think of every week down as a step closer to the end of the tunnel!
I literally slept my days away the first 14 weeks then started focusing on getting daily tasks done and sleeping the rest of the day after thatGrin
Maybe you will soon be able to go back to work on reduced hours.

justtheonethen · 09/11/2017 17:02

Agreed shez, I'm only just starting to pick up domestic tasks again, and the very few I'm doing wipe me out. I'm doing the very occasional freelance day that most times has resulted in a hospital admission. Full of admiration for those managing to do more. Hats off to you Star

OnNaturesCourse · 09/11/2017 18:16

team pink

She's here safe and sound after a brilliant early labour, and active labor... Then a horrific birth!

But it's done xx

DeadDoorpost · 09/11/2017 18:17

Ah mustang That's utter crap for her! Hope she's ok.
batman whinge away. We've all been there it's only fair you get the chance too 😉

First thing DH asked me when he got in today from work was if I had another cold. It's entirely possible. I've got phlegm again and my nose seems to be a bit runnier. Ugh. If it continues that'll be the 4th one in 9 months. I've never been this ill before. Stupid pregnancy.

And I think some more of my plug has come away. Discharge looks different, like glue rather than what's usual for me so I guess I'm getting a bit closer.

Oklahoma · 09/11/2017 18:27

Woohoo Nature!!!!

How does it feel to not feel sick?

Natsku · 09/11/2017 18:30

Yay Nature! Sorry the birth was horrific but glad she's safe and sound

NerNerNerNerBATMAN · 09/11/2017 18:34

Thank you ladies - I needed to hear a bit of solidarity from people that get it.

Sorry to hear you had to quit work Shez, that must be very hard. Justtheonethen I've tried doing bits here and there but it definitely makes me feel wore, not quite at hospital admission stage tho thankfully!

Bunnyfluffy I totally hear you on the TV front. I've watched so many murder mysteries on Netflix that I feel I'm practically a qualified detective now (no offence to those that may be actually RL detectives). I'm quite morose now that I've watched them all. I may have to start re watching box sets. Battlestar Galactica is my favourite but then I'd just get daft ideas about naming kids after TV characters which is an actual tradition in my family, I'm named after a Dynasty character

The worst is just lying there staring into middle distance because watching to makes you feel sick 😭

NerNerNerNerBATMAN · 09/11/2017 18:35

Oh wow cross post, congratulations Nature!!!
