Struggling with HG/termination

[TJV01]

Hi everyone,

I've never posted so please be patient. I have an 11 year old son with learning difficulties and EFD. MY partner and I fell pregnant in august and (same with my son) I came down with hyperemisis gravidarum. I couldn't look after my son who I am a full time carer to and had to make the decision to terminate the pregnancy. My partner had been so supportive and although I know he's been struggling he's been holding to together for us all. I just feel so guilty for not being able to carry and all I wanted was to feel better but once I felt back to normal I have been riddled with guilt ever since! Wondered if anyone else had been through HG in a second pregnancy and could give some advice. Thank you xx

Had hg in all my pregnancies and terminated the last one as I had a one year old and couldn't look after her as I felt like I was possessed by the sickness. I hope you're feeling okay and yes I do regret my choice but it was right for me. HG is horrific and once the cloud passes you forget how awful it was. My third one was horrific as I wasn't ready.

i just had a termination and a massive part of it was due to HG it was absolutely horrendous, I don't have any other children but i couldn't imagine taking care of another child when i had it it would have been unbearable.

Understandable that you feel so guilty however you had to make a choice for your health, your sanity and your family. It wasn't meant to be, and thats alright, dont let it eat you up inside forever x

This happened to my cousin, she was hospitalised with it and terminated. Please don't feel guilty. You feel physically better now but couldn't cope at the time due to the sickness x
