Hyperemesis

[Friedseasalt]

I’m not really sure what the point of this thread is. I’ve spent the week in hospital with Hyperemesis, now home with a combination of meds which have eased my symptoms a little for now. It’s been physically very very tough and I feel pretty weak. But the mental side of it has been horrible. Feeling so many emotions however I know I should just be grateful (I am so grateful) it’s just hard. I feel so guilty that my partner is doing pretty much everything, I felt so sad being away from my little one whilst I was in hospital & guilty as well. It’s also pretty lonely and isolating, especially when only immediate family know (not 12 weeks) so I guess I’m missing support that I’d get from my friends. Like I said at the beginning, not sure what the point of this post is. But for those who have been here, did you feel like this? Did you get better?

I didn’t get better till around 20 weeks. I was hospitalised 4 times with severe dehydration.

It’s a horrible illness. My poor dh was lost. He didn’t know what to do.

Mine got better around 20 weeks with my first. Started at 5 weeks. I was in and out of hospital too. It does get better just survive and have 0 expectations. I literally slept and cried for 15 weeks.

take it day by day. Ginger beer really took the edge off. It does get better so hang in there ❤️

Mine also eased around 20 weeks. HG is absolutely awful. I could not function and considered terminating at one point it was so bad. I also spent time in and out of hospital.
I found the only things that helped was cyclizine medication and to eat the plainest things possible but frequently. So plain rich tea biscuits, plain ready salted crisps, I even ate dry cornflakes! But nibbling little and often seemed to help.

My diet was completely beige but it was all I could stomach.

Mine eased around 20 weeks and although I did still suffer with sickness until my son was born it wasn't anywhere near as bad once I'd reached the 20 weeks stage. I started to feel more human!
After my son was born it completely disappeared and my appetite was ravenous!

Wishing you all the best. It's really awful. X

It's absolutely awful I've had 2 HG pregnancies both have gotten better at 20+ weeks - I hope yours does too.
