Hyperemesis getting me down

[honeymoonmum]

HI I wondered if anyone else is suffering from hyperemesis as i feel so alone I am 8 weeks pregnant and have been vomiting about 3-6 times a day for to weeks and am off work. This a honeymoon baby and the honeymoon is truely OVER!!! Feelin desperate for some advice and to know I will be OK!!! Can anyone help?

I agree you can get help earlier, 7 weeks for meds with ds1, from the date I found I was pg with the other two. Ptrint off info from the blloming awful site and take it in- that ahs worked for a few people I have come across .

Think i'm ging to have to give in now- been no fluid kept down since yesterday lunch . Damn! Didn't want to go down that route (but only coz my baby is at exceptionally high risk of a disability- 20% or higher- so i'm a bit funny)

Oh Peachy, there's no evidence that meds are likely to be harmful, is there? It's just that it's not 100% proven safe because of it being unethical to test on pregnant women - isn't that right?
I'm sure it will be fine.
Hugs & sympathy.

None AT ALL- but because I ahve 2 asd kids, and nobody knows what causes that, i've been trying to play safe. Which is really silly, as ds2 is NT and I took meds with him too! But I am entitleed to be paranoid LOL

Meds are far safer than dehydration, there is no question about that at all.

Yes you are entitled to be paranoid .
Fingers crossed that it all eases off. It sound like it is utterly ghastly for you at the moment.

I am now officially medicated . Ahd to fight like Hell... you dont seme dehydrated- you must ahve drunks omething (are you calling me a liar?), we dont do meds in pg-(how come I ahd X Y and Z before then)? he gave in anyhow, back on phenergan though he;s given me a fairly low doese and threatened me with the dreaded drip if it dosnt work...

I was point blank refused any meds and it was straight to the drip for me. I'm glad you've got the help you need.

Oh Peachy, how f*cking dare they?
I had to fight like hell to get meds the first time round (after I hadn't kept anything down for 3 days ) but the second time round it was easy to get diagnosed and treated because I told them I had had HG before. I sort of assumed that they would always believe you more if it had happened to you before - annoying that it is not the case.

Glad you have the phenergan now though. Hope it takes effect asap.

I was being sick almost every hour of the waking day from week 6!
When I finally admitted that it was a struggle (about week 8) and I wanted help, the doc just smiled at me and said, that it was hard but that I was doing ok!
Was about week ten or eleven, I had lost a stone and a half and was bringing up a little blood, before my mum frog marched me to the docs and told him how ill I was (by that point I could hardly string a sentence together!)
I was straight on a drip for about 5 days and sent home with drugs.
Defo be firm with the docs! I am so mad now that I spent a month telling myself that I was just being a wimp and that plenty of people had been through it before, etc etc. All because that doc didn't have a clue!!

We are trying for no2 now and I ended up in tears reading the first couple of posts just because it brought back so many memories.
Soooo hoping I won't have to go through it all gain but not holding my breath.

My mum kept saying to me that I would forget. I scoffed at her to begin with but, I was lucky, at about week 16 it had stopped and I could begin to enjoy being pregnant. The rest was fab!
The others are right, one day at at time, you will reach the end and you will have a beautiful little baby to love and cherish and a story to tell about how you got there!!
