Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Yes, me! You're not alone babe. I felt the exact same, constantly vomitting and in and out of hospital. I now take Zofran which has honestly been a lifesaver!!!

I’ve been there. It sucks but you will make it through! Your little peanut needs you to rest. Good luck.

I had HG with my first pregnancy 🤰 it was awful but I found after having IV fluids I was able to have ice cubes ... then I was able to eat ice blocks eventually I got my appetite back and started to slowly feel better. It was a time thing for me, I’m sure everyone is different but ice cubes and ice blocks were the key for me ☺️ hope you feel better soon.

Me 😭 I had in my first pregnancy and it was horrible all the time going to hospital, and now I’m 28 weeks pregnant and i have again they tried all the drugs and the only one that works it’s the ondansetron the same one i had in my first pregnancy it’s very good. and now i found out that i have gestational diabetes 😔 it’s been very stressful for me.

You are not alone! I suffered from HG with my first pregnancy from 5 weeks until I gave birth at 37 weeks. I just had my baby a few weeks ago. It definitely made me feel the “woe is me”, and I cried a lot. I felt lonely, since no one really understood what I was going through. I was so excited to have my first baby but I was so physically miserable, it took a toll mentally. There were times I thought I would die or I felt like I was dying I was so sick. HG is no joke! Little things like standing to wash dishes or just taking a shower made me so sick. I felt like a failure as a wife since my husband was doing everything. But with his support and wonderful doctors I made it through! I promise you it seems like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, but you can get and will get through this! My HG immediately went away as soon as they delivered the placenta and I felt like myself again instantly! I wasn’t nauseous or violently vomiting and I could EAT! It was wonderful. And it will be so so so worth it!

Hi everyone, I recently found out I have HG and I'm just in 10 weeks. I had to go to ER last night to get fluids. I am mostly unhappy and just try to use social media and movies to help. I recently had to quit my job too. I was told it might leave by week 12 or it'll last. I really hope it doesn't last cos I'm already miserable 😔

I am struggling so badly with HG (for the 3rd time). I think this is the worst. I’ve put myself & my family through hell to achieve my dream family. I can’t eat anything and am constantly sick . I can’t drive / have a bath or have my husband or anyone next to me in bed (the motion sickness is too severe). The over- production of saliva , the headaches , the dizziness, the extreme reaction to smells, the exhaustion. I’ve lost 1.5stone . It’s all off the scale. I’m 16wks now and it doesn’t seem to be easing , I’m scared I’ve got this until labour . I’ve been so depressed / lonely / tearful . It’s simply hell on Earth . It makes me LIVID when people ask of my MS is any better? There is such a lack of understanding and awareness for HG 😟

Sending you love & prayers . I totally understand what you are going through. It’s the most depressing and debilitating condition. Each day is a win ! You will get through it. Have you got a good support network around you? X

Yes me too! I tried all meds and nothing has worked it’s been so rough

I haven’t been officially diagnosed with HG but since the first day I started throwing up at 6 weeks, I’ve been taking medicine to help. I’m currently at 12 weeks and was starting to feel better, so I stopped the meds one night. Worst decision. I threw up the whole day, couldn’t even keep down water and even two days after, my stomach is still off and I am exhausted.
