Hyperemesis

Afternoon all,

I’m just wondering if anyone is suffering hyperemesis and has a toddler/other children? I’m struggling so much already and I’m only 4 weeks. I had HG severely in 1st pregnancy with multiple hospital admissions but it didn’t start until 7 weeks last time. This time it started before I found out (early as We’ve been trying so did early testing and kind of knew already because of the sickness).

I don’t know how to cope. I am already on ordansetron. I feel absolutely awful that I’ve had to call my partner at work because I’m so sick my toddler is playing by himself (in a completely safe room) but I just hate this already and have massive mum guilt. I feel so selfish wanting a second baby so badly and putting my son through this aswell. He’s only 22 months and doesn’t understand why mummy is so poorly and can’t play all the time. I thought I would be able to handle it better this time, but honestly it already seems worse than the first time around.
Sad

Oh I feel you. I'm also about 4 weeks. Iv had 3 hyperemesis pregnancies and they don't get easier. Only thing il say is u got through it before you will get through it again. Also I know the mummy guilt is real. If you have support, lean on it as much as you can. My boys had more TV time then I'd care to admit when I was sick. But I don't think it's scarred them. And ur also having this baby as a sibling for them which they will forever be grateful for
