Hyperemesis leading me to consider abortion. Feel desperate.

[Newshoesplease]

I dont know where to post- but im 6 weeks gone with my third, and the HG has started. It doesn't even sound as bad as some cases on here. Me and my dh were talking for a long time yesterday and we are strongly considering a termination. I have 2 dc, one of which is currently undergoing an asd assessment and

needs some support lately -he's finding life really tough. I can't separate my thoughts from the constant vomiting/wanting to vomit and wanting this to be over. I just wish I could be normal. Just to add another stress I have a lump in my neck that I'm awaiting a scan for. I can't cope with all this.

You have to be pushy with medication and your gp isn't going to be able to prescribe the 'good stuff' like ondansatron. I was on ondansatron and meta- something for both my pregnancies but was only prescribed these once I'd tried other things and hospitalised. You need your gp to refer to the early pregnancy unit. Be v pushy! Hyperemesis is horrendous, you must tell them how bad you feel.

Oh yes, skip your GP. At my worst, mine suggested I eat baby food. Yup, because when I can't keep down water that'll help, right?? And prescribed me liquid paracetamol for the stomach cramps. That's when I went to A&E and they said I was dangerously dehydrated and they couldn't even find a vein to get a needle into as they'd shrunk that much.

Call your midwife, get into the day unit, go to (I think I went to) Gyne. I'm glad you had your lightbulb moment. I had mine on the injections! I wasn't ashamed to cry and beg for help. If they see you being strong they'll thing you can manage.

I'm going to go and find that thread-thanks so much everyone
