Pregnancy after HG and TFMR

Hi,

I thought maybe TTC was a good idea to complete our family but my last pregnancy ended up with a termination for medical reasons. I had HG so bad that I was I hospital 4 times by the time I was 7 weeks, my resting heart rate was close to 100 and my liver was getting damaged. I was sleeping most of the day due to all the drugs and losing weight like crazy. I couldnt walk very far at all due to weakness.

I have an older DD who while I had HG it was manageable. No where near as bad as above. I also caught covid when I was pregnant which the doctors think made the HG way worse.

So now we have decided to ttc again and I’m so scared. Pretty sure I got a faint line on a pregnancy test last week and it didn’t fill me with happiness only dread. I honestly threw up as soon as I saw it and had a sinking feeling.

I think I’m just scared, the idea of having to make that decision again breaks my heart. Only good news I don’t feel too sick right now whereas my previous termination pregnancy I was already in hospital by now.

im half thinking of contacting an abortion clinic to have the medication ready but I know deep down I don’t want that.

Not sure why I’m posting this, guess I just wanted to air my thoughts that I feel people will judge me for. I’m so scared and worried.

I had sickness with the first, not nice but just about bearable. HG with the second and just nausea with the third. I was much better with the girls than when I had a boy. I don't know if that makes a difference. My friend was fine with three boys and had HG with her only girl.

Maybe you'll be much better this time.

@Soonberaining thank you! I’m hoping so too, I think in a few weeks I will know if it’s going to be bad or cope-able……Im really scared but made an appointment at the doctors to talk through an action plan. Contacts bpas so I can be registered and ready to go if it gets bad. I think I feel better feeling more like I’m in control
