Bentley 
the pink castle dinner party! So glad you saw a good GP and that your DH understands a bit more about HG now too.
Ah thanks Reastie for helping me understand iron! I was put on iron fairly early on in my last two pregnancies, but as I had no major issues I just took it and never really asked what low iron can cause/lead to, so it’s helpful to have a better idea now. And whilst I’ve not been quite so scary in a dream I do have really weird and crazy dreams during pregnancy.
Thank you for the recommendation Teddy I’ll see what I can get through the GP, if only the standard tablets at least I can look for available liquids in Boots etc.
Clare hope you can get some ondansetron soon. I’m on thyroxine also, apparently thyroid issues are connected with HG (although they’re not 100% sure how or why, but might be because thyroxine and pregnancy hormones have very similar chemical structures). My TFTs have bounced around quite a bit, which is unusual for me including in pregnancy so I’m wondering if it’s all related to being sick, absorption etc. Don’t know if this would help you at all but I take my thyroxine just before I go to sleep (have done this for years, even though I know they suggest in the morning on an empty stomach), I find this much easier and I find evening tablets easier than during the day currently.
For everyone feeling guilty, I totally understand but also want to say that you don’t need to feel guilty and try not to think about it. I also have felt guilty, but the length of this illness has forced me to get used to being taken care of! I also have a bit of a different perspective from personal experience. Obviously this wouldn’t apply to everyone but in my case, I have been the main ‘carer’ in our house for years, because DH has a chronic illness so I’ve cared for him many times as well as our DCs. Yes it was tiring, and sometimes overwhelming during the toughest moments, but I never once felt like DH should “get over it” - it was simply how it was, I knew he had no control and I just had to do whatever I needed to do to get by; maybe I didn’t get much ‘down time’, or maybe I didn’t take up every career opportunity/invitation to travel with a senior person/evening event etc, but frankly I married my husband and chose to have children with him, I didn’t marry my job or my friends or relatives and I wasn’t forced into anything so we share all responsibilities. One time, I was working full time in a very stressful job, studying part time for my masters, DH was very ill (in midst of a sudden major relapse, all sorts of hospital visits etc), and then my two DCs, who have SEN, got chicken pox! I pretty much cracked! But, I cracked at work, because it was the one thing that actually could give way, and I basically told them straight that the workload was ridiculous and “by the way, you know I have a whole bunch of stuff going on at home, you’re paying for me to study so you know I have that on too, and if things don’t change I’m out”. Which seems like a precarious move when you only have one salary, but it worked (to an extent, I won’t go into the ins and outs!).
...So, in the nicest sense, I really don’t have much sympathy for the DPs who are feeling the strain 
because if they were ill the situation would be the same in reverse, because this is their family, their home, and so they need to prioritise that as much as is practically possible when it comes to work and friends/other relatives. Absolutely they might find it hard or tiring, but this is life, and there is an end date to this, and they just need to crack on. I find, generalisation here, a lot of women do this, whereas I find it to be less common with men who simply don’t expect to ever be in a primary caring role.
It’s taken me a long while to believe this though but my DH has been hammering into me for a while too, luckily he is better right now although he’s still in relapse and symptomatic, he sees it as “his turn” to shoulder the load. He’s tired, he doesn’t get much down time, he takes care of pretty much everything, he has every right to feel worn down, but he never gets annoyed or grumpy with me about it, probably because of our past experiences, but also because I’m sick because of our baby, a pregnancy we both chose to enter, and it just is what it is. Moaning isn’t going to change anything!
I’ll stop ranting there...
As an aside I’m still feeling okay, which is good. My fit note ends this week so need to get a new one (a few relatively good days does not a recovery make). Going to try and go out tomorrow, a bit nervous, but it’s been several weeks since I went any further than the school/local shop so will try and go slightly further tomorrow...
