Hyperemesis

[natalies1982]

anyone had this or still going through it im 20 weeks 2morrow and had it since i was 6 weeks, i was admitted at 8 weeks with severe dehydration, in on anti sickness drugs to try and control it which has worked abit but not fully but im managing to keep some stuff down. i suffered badly in my 1st preg and was admitted then, i had a dd, didt suffer to badly with my 2nd ds and this is my 3rd.

its so draining i was sick til the day i had my dd so hoping this stops soon

Still puking here at almost 22 weeks! You are brave to have 3 DCs with hyperemesis, I don't think I can manage to take such a hard pg again! (this is my 2nd).

sorry to hear ur still piking did u suffer badly in ur 1st?
i was hoping to get let off with this one but my body has other ideas, i suffered bad with my 1st and this one, my 2nd was just normal sickness and very bad heartburn from 20 weeks. i think this one is another girl as apprenly u sufffer more with it with girls and my 2 pregnancys have proved that so far

do u knwo what ur having

are you on any medication for the puking ?

yeh i was on buccastem now im on metoclopramide

You could ask for something different if the current drugs aren't working well enough.

I had two boys and suffered badly with HG with both pregnancies.

natalie, you know Peachy on our ante-natal thread??
She used to work for www.hyperemesis.org.uk/
Also, my sickness has calmed down quite a bit, but am still being sick (22weeks now) I'd go back to your doctors and get your medicene changed, the one thing my doc said when he gave me tabs was 'don't worry, there are lots we can try, so if it doesn't work come back'.

Hi natalie - Sorry you're suffering. I'm now 34 weeks and still on medication which has controlled it reasonably well (i.e. can eat ok). Wasn't able to go out for months but have been able to recently.

A lot of people find it stops around 20 weeks. Hope this is so for you. It's very draining and isolating. Hang on in there.

I agree with Victorian Squalor - the website and email group can be good. I didn't realise Peachy was a founder.

I think she worked for the helpline or something, she has mentioned it before when we were both at the worst of our HG!
