Termination due to HG

[babysoupdragon2]

I terminated a much wanted third pregnancy two weeks ago due to hyperemesis.

I had suffered in my previous two pregnancies, ended up with daily IVs and steroids. That was 5 years ago. I genuinely thought I was strong enough to do it again but I wasn't.

In my logical head I did the right thing. I am now back and able to be mum to my girls, I'm able to work.

However I hurt so much. I wanted that child, that was our child. That child did nothing to deserve this.

I tried a counselling session through my abortion provider but it was awful, she didn't get it at all. I don't know how to come to terms with this. I'm just wondering if anyone else has been in this position? I don't anyone realise the hell that hyperemesis is, unless you've experienced it.

@Gingernut1989 wow this is amazing news. Congratulations. Honesty women are absolute warriors aren’t they! What a time you’ve had. Although I’m sure in some ways; the pregnancy being so difficult is so validating to what happened previously.

I also now have my 6 month old. She’s the best decision we ever made, she’s amazing and her siblings adore her. For 3 months I was on an utter high and then out of nowhere I struggled a bit with what had gone on before. I’m coming back out of that now. However like you I absolutely know it was the right decision for me at the time and I’m eternally grateful that that journey brought me my daughter.
