Hi ladies,
I am 15 weeks pregnant and have had 4 bouts of “hyperemisis” so far which has made me dehydrated and admitted to hospital.
I had hyperemisis with my first pregnancy but what was different is that the hyperemisis back then hit me like a ton of bricks from week 6 to 14 and then it suddenly stopped and I was pretty much ok until I gave birth.
This second pregnancy, it’s coming in peaks and troughs. I’m ok and then have a bad episode which then gets so bad I have had to go hospital for fluids and anti sickness meds (which gets me ok until the next episode a few weeks later)
More than anything though, I know that only regular intervals of food will keep my sickness at bay, but I literally cannot stomach the thought of ANY foods.
NOTHING takes my fancy and I don’t know what to do anymore.
Even things like toast and mashed potato is sickening and I can barely even swallow the foods. I also can’t stand any liquids except plain hot water.
I know I’m not helping myself and this vicious cycle, but did anyone go through something similar, who can share their tips and suggestions please?
I’m so desperate - please help x
