for those who had HG/extreme nausea how did you feel after birth?

[Posyrosy6]

did you feel better quite quickly or take some time?

Completely better. As soon as the placenta was out, all of the nausea and vomiting stopped.

I was so poorly all the way through both my pregnancies but it stopped almost immediately after each birth. I had foods and smells that I couldn’t stomach at all when pregnant, but went back to normal pretty much straight away. The only thing that lingered was the smell of lilies and a certain hand wash. Those both smelled bad to me for quite a while but nothing at all like when I was actually pregnant. I never drank tea when pregnant but was happily sipping a cup with some toast an hour after each birth.

Hope it goes away quickly for you too, OP. Pregnancy sickness is just awful.

I vomited on the operating table and a day after the c section then I was fine and enjoying my food again.
Mind you I think the being sick on the operating table and after was due to medication and thay I would've been fine as soon as the baby was out

I vomited all through labour then felt nauseous during the "let down" of breastfeeding

I didn't have HG but had nausea the whole way through. For me it eases immediately after birth but some food aversions take a few days to go away.

Absolutely exhausted but not nauseous anymore. It was wonderful having my body back.

I felt immediately better, I was more delighted to not be pregnant than to have the baby really, it was such a relief.

Better immediately.
Hope you are ok, hg is a bloody nightmare.

I felt better straight away and still have very fond memories of the Chinese take away I ate with delight when I got back from the hospital 😁. Some food aversions remained for a while. One remains still, ten years later. But I'm just glad to have survived the HG, it is so hard.

Relieved! Felt better very quickly.

Loads better within a couple of hours. I only realised when the midwife gave me a cup of tea and I could drink it without vomiting.

It took me a while to realise the HG had stopped as the birth was so traumatic and I was in shock!

Immediately better. I had from week 7 of my second pregnancy all the way through, with a nice dose of obstetric cholestasis (itchy!) in my third trimester. The nausea/vomiting and itching disappeared as soon as my DD was born, although it took a week or two for my appetite to return.

I had HG

Vomited during labour then fine after that.

I felt wonderful straight away. But I did still need gaviscon for a bit after and some food / smell aversions remained. But generally I felt fantastic. I was like, get this catheter out of me now, I'm going for a walk. Wonderful!

I felt amazing straight after the placenta was out. I phoned my friend about an hour afterwards and she said "oh you just sound like you again!"

Like the others, better immediately post birth (and I vomited the whole way through labour). It was such a relief even though the birth was a horror show - an unexpected upside of HG!

I had HG and was medication all the way through pregnancy. The nausea nd vomiting was constant but meds helped.
I was induced early due to pre-eclamlsia.
Vomited when the contractions started but as soon as baby was born i felt fine (minus the haemorrhage and blood pressure crash and transfusion).
Ive not had any nausea or vomiting since!

I had HG all the way through but felt immediately better after giving birth and wasn't nauseous or sick at all after she was born.

This was me too. Feeling not pregnant was better than the babies. I didn't get baby blues but instead just felt elated. I had the smallest cry on day 2 for like 10 seconds. I just felt amazing. Ever since, I don't mind too much being ill as nothing will ever / can ever be as bad as pregnancy. Had shingles recently. Fine. It's also made me a much more sympathetic person to people who are ill. Now I know how bad a person can feel.
