I feel miserable I feel like I’m dying. My tummy hurts so bad. This is the last baby I ever want to have I wanted a girl so bad but at this point boy or girl as long as it’s healthy it is my last. This is horrible I cry everyday and pray.

I had this and the Drs thought I was just going crazy, I lost 50 lbs and couldn’t keep anything down this is something that needs more AWARENESS

It feels like I’m hungover all day 😭

This is my very first successful pregnancy and I’m going thru HELL. I wake up and vomit, Drink water vomit, eat cracker vomit, I smell ANY food vomit. I’m so exhausted I can’t even explain. To those women who are going thru this I’m so so sorry. I 100% understand what you’re doing thru and I pray that it stops for you 😢.

My first pregnancy and honestly has me contemplating it may be my last. The affect it’s had on my mental health, not being able to work and being put on disability, multiple hospitalizations... I’m almost in my 7th month and my entire pregnancy people have been telling me, “it’ll go away soon”, Dr’s not truly grasping the gravity of the condition, some nurses not even knowing what you’re talking about when you say “I have hyperemesis Gravidarum”... fun times

No one understands how horrible I feel and that I really cannot do anything! It’s all I can do to drag myself to work and I’m SUFFERING. This is not just “oh look it’s so cute morning sickness” NO! I’m so sick all day and all night and I’m exhausted 😩 no one will ever know the amount of times I’ve vomited and cried into my toilet whispering “I can’t do this”

I had this for my whole pregnancy and lost my baby at 9 months due to pre eclampsia. Can you imagine going through that type of sickness and still lose your baby . It broke me down .

Yes and some doctors are so dismissive and lack compassion. Is not normal to throw up all day and not eat properly for weeks.

I lost my son at 3 days old because of HG 20 years ago. The Dr's/midwife wouldn't listen to me. I lost so much weight. Eventually, I passed out trying to get up off the sofa, which put me into early labour at 25 weeks. He wasn't even meant to take a breath, but he did he survived 3 days. I'm so glad this now has a name. Speak up ladies ❤

Literally 2 months pregnant and I am SICK as a dog and have been for the whole 2 months. I really hope this passes after the first trimester because I can’t even work and I feel so bad for my husband having to do EVERYTHING and support us through everything because I can not even get out of bed. The heartburn and the nausea is INTENSE. I drink water…I throw up…

I’ve had throughout both my pregnancies with girls. Can’t even drink water it’s so depressing. This is literally a life or death situation!

My OB brushed it off as me being a first time mom and not "knowing what morning sickness was". I lost 10 percent of my body weight by 20 weeks and was hospitalized over 10 times before they medicated me . I am 6 weeks post partum AND STILL throwing up. Everyone expects you to he happy, grateful and over the moon. The reality for me was much darker. I didn't want to live anymore I was that sick. Now I am recovering and love my baby but I will never forget that suffering. 💔

Currently have this and I’m 13 weeks pregnant. This has made me never want to have any more children and this is my first pregnancy. I lay down all day, barely enough energy to shower and go to the bathroom. I never want to eat, because when I do, it comes back up. My throat hurts so bad from all the vomiting. I’m in and out of the ER getting fluids on an almost weekly basis now. Can’t work, can’t clean, can’t live any life outside of being pregnant.

It’s unbelievable how another woman can talk negatively about another woman struggling with hyperemesis. But its the first one when she’s on their period, is laying on bed dying all dramatic. I managed to work all through out my pregnancies dealing with hyperemesis and it was very rough. So before you talk about another woman struggling with it, get yourself checked out. A huge hug to those beautiful ladies struggling with hyperemesis!

I had this with both of my babies. So so So hard .... people say she is pregnant just like as other normal pregnant woman. I had ended in ER twice in both of my pregnancy. No good thing... I felt that time I was waiting for my death in any minute. God give strengths to those ladies and happy to hear this thing are more in talk now.

My wife is 15 weeks & she is currently going through this, she rarely has good days, but it’s a living hell for her for the most part. I feel terrible because there’s nothing I can do to make her feel better. & worst of all is that we don’t have any health insurance. We’ve applied for financial aid praying that we get approved. I’m praying to God that my wife’s pregnancy gets a lot easier.

This is hell. My experience is not being able to even sip water or have a bite to eat vomit up to 40 times to the point where it’s just bile and blood (for months). Being so dehydrated you can’t string a sentence together and being hospitalised and hydrated through an IV because your kidneys aren’t functioning is horrible. Looking so pale and my lips being chapped and broken from my body not functioning. I’love for home care to be available in the UK and more awareness needs to be raised on this illness.

My wife was in hospital for 10weeks with Hyperemesis. Its not morning sickness. Ginger and lemon wont work, its not morning sickness. Majority of individuals believe its just a bad case of morning sickness, that would be very neive. It is a completely debilitating illness, at its worst, as in my wife's case, it leaves you quite literally in a vegetative state

I’m 12 weeks and going threw it I’m soooo mad at the world I don’t want kids I regret everything I’m just at the point that life sucks and crying isn’t helping me 😔 everyone tells me your strong you got this ! But I don’t no one knows how this hurts your soul and messes with your brain they really need to start working on a medication for women with HG pregnancy should be beautiful , it’s horrible right now .

For anyone reading this, getting my wife IV fluids with vitamins and zofran every 10-14 days. With freshly squeezed orange juice every morning helped ease her symptoms. The IV treatments were done by local IV services that come to home. It is key to keep them at 10-14 days and of course consult with your doctor before doing. Hope it helps!

It’s real and it sucks, I’ve had this problem for 3 of my pregnancy’s. It’s no joke, I cannot eat or drink anything without throwing up minutes after consuming. I sleep all day and only eat once a day until the next day. I was given medication for the nausea, it did not help at all. Worst feeling ever.

Respect to all mother's and woman like us

Mother of 6. Eye had HG for ALL of my pregnancies. Lost at least 30lbs., 24 hour nauseas & vomiting, zofran didn’t do much of anything, getting to the bathroom was a damn chore. One of my pregnancies, Eye threw up until Eye turned 8 months. Smh, stay strong mother’s-to-be, there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. 💚💚💚

I have this condition, wasn’t diagnosed until I went to the ER. Because I couldn’t keep anything down, was extremely lightheaded and depressed. Vomiting 12 or more times a day. Doctors wouldn’t listen to me, most don’t take me seriously, I’ve been losing weight. I think im slowly gaining the weight back. Im about to be 12 weeks so I still have a while to go. My OB doesn’t even listen, nobody does really. I take nausea medicine daily, it barely does anything. I can’t even do the multivitamin IV treatments anymore because when I went in for my first treatment it almost killed me from anaphylaxis, I even felt contractions starting I was so scared my baby wouldn’t survive that because I knew I was about to pass out and I couldn’t barely breath at all. Thankfully I was very lucky to have the nurses close and get immediate help and attention and eventually the stomach cramping stopped. They even called my OB and I’m angry my OB hasn’t tried to see me yet since the incident, because it can be dangerous for the baby because it deprives oxygen. I don’t work I literally can’t, I don’t even leave the house but very very rarely. I usually order food or groceries when i get low because it’s so hard for me to go out. I’m at a low point, I’m so depressed, stressed, this sickness has taken a toll on me mentally, and physically. Sometimes I just want to give up, but I try to think about the end goal and it helps me motivate myself. Barely pushing by day by day. And I also don’t have an income, even when I tried to get a job I was rejected because I was pregnant. I’m new to the state of California, trying to figure out how I can make a little bit of money. I’m just scared at how this whole thing is going to play out, trying to stay focused on the positives.

This is my first baby and will be my only biological baby. I’ve always wanted to be pregnant and now that I am I feel like I’m being punished for wanting such.

We need to make a bigger deal out of this

pregnant with my second child, I had it with my first. & now with my second. watching this at work as I barley hang out 😔😔 it's so difficult, sometimes I think I wont make it.

Literally lost almost 40 pounds from it. My husband dragged me to the ER after a long time of refusing to go. The doctor told me that I was in SEVERE starvation mode, my body had NOTHING. and I believed him because I was passing out all the time, so I wouldn’t even leave the house.

I honestly hate it so much when people tell me “it’s morning sickness” or “that it’ll go away”....at 7 freaking months it’s NOT morning sickness or something that’s going away anytime soon.

Thank you for bringing awareness to HG. I'm in tears. I still think I have PTSD from it🥺😭. I lost 60 lbs. My OB didn't really make a big deal about it.

No words for Hyperemesis. I'm dying 😭

It is the most depressive lonely condition. Not a single thing helps. Doctors are clueless.

I’ve been so sick I had to quit my job I hate that I can’t contribute towards this family I know I can’t control it but I just hate not having control of my own body

I wish the medical community would be more open and honest about what the CURE for this is.

There's nothing like a mother's love.

I’ve been dealing with severe HG for 3 and a half months now and losing hope, I feel like I’m dying. I can’t do anything besides dry heave and throw up. Can’t work, can’t clean my house, can’t sleep, often can’t even brush my teeth due to it triggering extreme vomiting. This is literal hell! If you’re currently going through this you’re not alone ❤

i thought i withdrawing from heroin again but hadn’t relapsed… thought i was experiencing post acute withdrawal symptoms. went to the hospital and come to find out it’s this. lemme just say this, any women experiencing this and going through with their pregnancy is stronger than god.

This makes me feel like I’m not alone . This is very hard on me , my physical, mental and spiritual well being . Seems like Praying doesn’t even work 😔 this is such a struggle. Praying I don’t lose everything as a result. I am a single mother currently expecting. I sometimes feel like I can’t do this .

i had it, i was 16 and pregnant and threw up all day every day 6w-30w. i lost 20lbs in the start, i had to get shots in my butt just to keep the nausea meds down, and when i couldn’t keep water down i had to get fluids. it left me with bulimia, it’s been 4 years and i just now recovered from it and the effects it had on my mental health. this stuff is no joke.

HG is making me contemplate actually going through with my pregnancy right now 😔 it’s breaking me mentally

Props to this reporter for bringing awareness about this. I literally feel like I’m dying. Idk how people are saying that it’s their 3rd time with HG. Good lord after the first time I know I never want to be pregnant again even tho I do want to have more children I just can’t put my body though this again

It took me almost 7 years to get the courage up to endure another pregnancy after all the complications with my first. Now I’m only 6 weeks in with my second and I am being reminded of why I waited so long, I hope it doesn’t get as bad and last as long this time

I don’t care what anyone says, I am never getting pregnant again.

8 months pregnant and still in hell.. this is the most unbearable feeling I have ever felt. I honestly do not know how I have done it with two other small children and working from home full time. All the women that go through this are truly warriors!

I’m pregnant with my second and it’s the same with my first it’s really hard to have HG. This my last because sometimes I say to myself I can’t take it anymore it’s so hard to have severe symptoms but through prayer I’ll survive this. I just Keep fighting for my baby 🙏🏻😭.

This has been very tormenting. I felt like I was the only person going through this when pregnant with my first child. I said I would never do this again and after getting off birth control (due to harmonal issues)here I am 7yr later experiencing this again. Feels like no one knows my struggle and can be very depressing. And the fact I have a high high saliva build up which causes me to spit often doesn't help any. I feel trying to get leave from work to be the hardest thing smh so over this smh

I can’t wait until I get to the doctor Tuesday. It’s my first pregnancy and I’ve lost 10 lbs since I found out I was pregnant LAST WEEK! Almost 8 weeks and it has been like this since week 4. Can very rarely eat, can’t sleep more than 2 hours at a time, wake up and go to sleep with the worst nausea. Can’t work because I’m so weak. I take my vitamins just barely without vomiting. I want to be a healthy mommy and enjoy my pregnancy. Hope my baby is doing okay. I’m doing my best. Most women just brush it off when I say how sick I am but my mom has heard of this and understands. Edit: I got diagnosed and was hospitalized for dehydration at 14 weeks. Id lost 26 lbs total. I’m almost 16 weeks now and am on Zofran, Reglan, Unisom, and B6. The combination has definitely made a huge difference but I do have to take it regularly. I Can finally function and eat although it’s still uncomfortable to eat. Really was hoping I’d feel better naturally since I’m in the second trimester but no luck so far. Edit: Almost 12 months pp, and here we go again. 7 weeks pregnant (unexpectedly, I was on the mini pill), my 1st appointment is today and I will not leave until they put me back on Zofran. Hopefully I get no push back or issues. It’s just as bad if not worse than my first pregnancy. Sometimes it’s better the second go round for some, but definitely not in my case. I’ve lost 10-15 pounds already once again.

I had this there needs to be more awareness for this I kept getting dismissed like I was pretending I couldn’t walk to appointments I was dying and even hospital didn’t think anything of it.

I had this for all 4 of my pregnancies. I was surprised at how many people Had zero compassion. They could not even imagine how difficult it was. Feeing like this every day, all day, for almost the whole pregnancy is an unbelievably difficult way to live.

This is my second HG pregnancy. I just found out I was pregnant, and the symptoms of it, were my first signs, to take a test. Purposeless fever. Nausea. Slipping and spiking BP, around the vomiting. Hunger but also nausea. I’m not afraid. But I’m apprehensive. It’s been 8 years since I had my first child. Maybe I don’t even remember properly, how bad it was. But I remember being in the ER for fluids every week, or so. I remember 26 ultrasounds. I remember sonograms on both of our hearts. I remember my kidneys struggling to keep up, as I already have 2 types of kidney disease. I remember the only thing that helped me, was High doses of CBD, THC microdoses, and they gave me suppositories at the end. Coca-cola syrup. Sprite syrup.

I suffered 2 HG pregnancies and the 6th month was the worst.. I vomited from week 6 of my pregnancies until giving birth -> daily. Many days about 20 times per day, it was a NIGHTMARE! I had no life at all during my two pregnancies - I wasn’t a human being, most of the day in bed, suffering, vomiting, crying.. After my first baby I hoped so much that I wouldn’t experience this again, but I had the same symptoms during my second pregnancies too. I lost much weight, I had to change my nutrition, nobody could help me, no doctor knew what I was suffering from, only my midwives tried to help me, but nothing helped. It was unbelievable. I was completely lost - the feeling is like suffering an extreme hangover ever single day of your pregnancy! Today I know that the hormone progesterone is responsible for this..

I remember crying to my mom I was gonna die. But I did with my doctor agreeing smoked marijuana my whole pregnancy. It was the only thing that helped

Every pregnancy for me is like this and I was never diagnosed! I was also hospitalized for dehydration so many times!! And I'm tired of people thinking I'm over reacting. I cant do anything! Its horrible the full nine months!!

I had this with my 2nd pregnancy and it was by far the worse I’ve ever felt in my life. I lost 30 lbs the first 3 months and after birth I ended up weighing 108 vs the 150 I weighed pre getting pregnant. I ended up with PPD and it lasted 4 years until I decided to see a therapist. Some pregnancies are really bad for your body, but some don’t understand. People would always criticizing me on my weight. Ughhh 😒😑

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have no babies to show, I lost the 2 before and had HG with both. I’m barely past a month currently and I can’t even drink water. I’m exhausted, have a constant headache, nausea and vomiting never stops, no medication works and I feel weak and crazy all the time. I have a bunch of other health issues that are all exacerbated due to the pregnancy. I feel like giving up but I also really want to be a mom. This is hard and seems to be getting harder but I’m happy someone is bringing awareness of HG to the public cause it is not being diagnosed and treated appropriately until the mother ends up in the ER

I'm so sorry to hear all your stories...😢 even though my pregnancies were a walk in the park compared to yours I think it's important to advocate for this 🙏💪

We need more awareness about this! I had this plus my mood swings were horrible. I get/got a lot of hate but I survived by taking medical marijuana. My baby is super healthy 👍🏼 Don’t blame others for taking that risk, it’s AWFUL 😢

I’m in grad school and experiencing this right now. it’s truly getting in the way of my studies and I’m so tired of being sick. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through. I feel so depleted and just want the suffering to stop.

I lost 30 lbs in 2 months from such severe morning sickness with my son, but my doctor didn't take it seriously. Now he has developmental delays. I couldn't eat anything or barely drink anything. It's absolutely horrible.

I have extreme fatigue, nausea and stomach pain. Life has become a living hell. I was happy when I finally got pregnant but now each passing day has become worse. I can’t stand, cannot sit, can’t walk or sleep on the side. Only position I have been able to sleep is on my back. This is an unbearable torture from last one month. Hope I will see some relief soon. I feel for all the women out there who been through this horrible experience..

My first pregnancy I threw up about 3-4 times a day. I couldn't even leave my room. Now I am pregnant again and I can feel the nausea coming on. I hate the feeling especially I am only 6 months into my nursing job that I actually enjoyed, but hoping the symptoms don't get as bad the the 1st pregnancy. It's one of those things you don't wish on anyone.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have NEVER been so sick. I lost around 11pds in my first trimester and now im 17weeks and nothing has changed. Im not gaining weight and im sick throughout the daaaay. I have no cravings and rarely have an appetite. I can attempt to force myself to eat and yet I can’t keep it down. It’s making me so depressed I just don’t know what to do anymore.

I had Hyperemisis in my first pregnancy. I'm now 6 weeks pregnant and dreading the sickness that will come. I'm praying it isn't as bad thus time. I feel I've learnt how to manage it slightly better.

My ritual when I have a HG flair up: get in the bath or shower and make sure it’s hot, but not burning hot. Rub your belly in clockwise motions while you sway side to side gently under the hot water. Switch the water from your tummy to your back. Sometimes singing helps, believe it or not…humming, a song you love or know very well. I just got over a flair up doing this!

Going through this right now. Feling Alone and obliged to work to support my family. Will not be having another child after this

I was in the hospital when I was 8 weeks never went back but still felt horrible when they release me .. I never complained to my doc again but feels like it’s gettin worst I’m losing weight .. Idk if I’m over reacting or not … I have to leave work early every day .. I have a 1 year old also it’s hard to keep him entertained everyday . Thank for for his dad for being here for me and making sure I can get my rest .. I never felt like this w my first . Really wanted to try again for a baby girl but I feel like I’m dying everyday .. all I do is cry and pray

With that existing there still are ppl who are against the freedom of choice -.- not every women wants even a small chance to go through this. And for those who are struggling with it or struggled with it! YOU GOT THIS! YOU ARE SUPERHUMANS LADIES!!!❤️🥺

I dont know how woman with this condition go throughout nine months with horrible pregnancy coz it was very bad for me,wish i had the medication your talking about.

On my 3rd pregnancy (lost my 1st one, possibly due to the hyperemesis) the 2nd one, my son, was rough too. Praying this pregnancy doesn't result in HG or miscarriage 😫

Im glad I ran across this video.

I remember feeling this way with my first born…I am now having PTSD with my rainbow baby and I legit sat on my toilet crying asking my husband how I’ll do it again now that I have a job. I’m so scared and I don’t want to throw up all day everyday…

This is what ive had for all 3 of my pregancies . im in my third right now and having HG plus that depression is the worst. I feel like im dying , im weak and have no energy or happiness in me . Like its hard to explain to people who think its just a little throw up....NO its so so real , makes you feel like your not in your body. By my 3rd im a pro and know what triggers me to throw up and time out when i need to eat and make sure i stay awY from certain colors that will make me feel sick quicker. Its crazy! I figured out after my daughter and having to go to the ER during the first and second trimester that weed helped me. Just a little bit , it took away the sickness feeling for a while and acctually made me hungry for something. I STG if it wasnt for that id seriously be dead becauss i threw up all the medicine they would give me. And the hunger pains are the worst ! Its like someone is stabbing you !! My gosh yall , but everyone around me says their pregancies are amazing and im just over here walking thru hell.

I went through this with my son...it was horrible. I will never have another child because I have no idea how I could take care of my son being as sick as I was. I couldn't function properly, all I did was vomit all day long from a few weeks in until the end. 😩

I'm fortunate that I haven't had to be hospitalized, but I'm in my first pregnancy and experience constant all day nausea. I literally took everything. Unisom+B6, sucking on candies, phenergan pills and cream, motion sickness bracelets (on both wrists), Zofran, ginger ale... nothing helps. It's awful. 15 weeks in and it's still an every day battle. Because of it this will be my only pregnancy.

I have hyperemesis as well and it IS difficult to go through. I feel miserable. It’s very difficult to keep down. Im lucky to be able to keep saltine crackers down. Im 14 weeks in with my first child, i’ve gone to the emergency room to get ivs & fluids because the vomiting has made me so dehydrated. I work as well in fast and it is very very difficult to work. I’m lucky if they allow me to sit down during my shift when I ask. A lot of the times my medication does not work either. Ive taken ondansetron and promethazine for mine. Im praying at some point I get better because it is making me depressed and feel like not being pregnant anymore 💔

I had this with both pregnancies. My first I almost lost. Every Wednesday and Friday I went and got fluids and meds. I was bed ridden for 5 months. Zofran was my only savior. My second wasn’t that bad but still miserable. I lost over 40 pounds.

I brought this up with my doctor as a possibility. I just made it to 15 weeks. She started me on infusions and all together with infusions, I am on 9 nausea meds. This is my second child that has made it to 15 weeks, and I knew it wasn’t normal. My first pregnancy was easy breezy, this one, I have been hospitalized twice for already. I get all of my vitamins and nutrients through the infusions. I just had a picc installed for this, as they were running out of veins.

I am not convinced that it’s genetic as I was the only woman in my family with such a severe nausea ( nobody in my family had it at all). It was absolutely awful for me and never ending story. However, I am glad that I went for a second one, and I would go for third if not for Covid apocalypse. I don’t think it’s good that doctor is scare mongering sick mothers that babies can be harmed, as the pressure on them is already too high. He also mentioned it can cause the autism. My mother worked in the center for autism, and nobody knows the cause. Apart from me, I only know one woman with such a severe sickness, and her daughter (now 10) is super smart, my both kids ( products of an awful sickness), have never been sick, very strong, healthy, beautiful and smart. So, those dark prognoses are something that should be left out.

My first pregnancy I did not have nausea this bad. This is my second pregnancy and I’m barely at 6 weeks and I’m so tired, I have no energy. I can barely eat anything my house is a mess. My husband had to take me to the er because I was throwing up everything even water. I’m sick of this “HG” I can’t enjoy anything. My hair is a mess, I can’t do house chores, I go to work just barely but I feel like shit all day, I throw up even when I haven’t ate anything. I just want to get home and lay down and sleep and not feel anything. I just want this nausea to go away. 😞😢

Yeah i have that it feels like u just want to die or get over with it or have abortion is hard other dont know how we feel😢...

Cyclizine and ondansetron with a round of steroid therapy and iv fluids got me through but I was sick and on meds right up to delivering my daughter. It's pretty traumatic

I’m 15 weeks living on a small island. My doctor is trying his best but I’m suffering mentally and physically. Mentally I’m not even sure how I feel towards my baby.

Just makes cry it’s so hard nearly week 14 still nauseous and not able to eat enough 😢

I am currently 21 weeks and had HG from about week 6 and ongoing. It was a complete nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. It was absolutely terrible landing me in the ER various times and I lost 26 pounds couldn’t even keep water down. No prescribed medication helped UNTIL I entered the second trimester and could take steroid hormones. Completed a 21 day treatment as a last resort and it actually worked! It allowed me to stop vomiting and I began to slowly eat and drink more fluids. My doctors let me know it has some increased risks but more so in the first trimester. Medication has never helped me but this changed my pregnancy journey. I still have occasional nausea and a strange relationship with food but nothing compared to how it was. I urge that if you are suffering with HG that you consult with your OBGYN about hormone steroids.

I'm 7 months and still experiencing this .. I can't even explain it's so scary

I’m currently pregnant and have severe nausea and vomiting. I spent years desperately trying for a baby (even sought expensive fertility assistance) and still I seriously considered aborting the pregnancy because I couldn’t handle being so unwell. The only thing that stopped me was knowing I had every chance of feeling the same way the next pregnancy, so I’d have to redo feeling so unwell.

I had Hyperemesis gravidarum with both of my children. I was denied any medication on the ground that they could be dangerous for the baby. During my first pregnancy, it lasted about 6 months then it started to subdue but I never got rid of it. With my second pregnancy, I braced myself for the same type of suffering, however, it never stopped and I found myself delivering my little boy, full term, still vomiting. I used to weigh 50 kg, but by the end of my second pregnancy my weight was nearly 40 kg. I am Italian but I married an Englishman, Who, being a RN Officer, was never around. My in-laws never heard of such a condition and put it done to me being a "wingy Italian". On top of that that they lived more than 300 miles from Portsmouth. My parents were in Italy and I had a little toddler to look after. When my in-laws dropped by to see their beloved firstborn Grandaughter Helen, they smoked with no retention, aggravating my condition. I have to thank my health visitor, who seeing the situation sustained a very harsh conversation with my mother-in-law and arranged for me to be admitted to the hospital to be rehydrated rather than leaving me alone. She also arranged for a childcarer who took care of my first baby for the entire time I was in the hospital. My GP failed to diagnose my condition and left me to fend for myself. Just the fact that one person has not experienced hyperemesis gravidarum, there is no reason to dismiss it as an exaggeration of a mild symptom. It is awful. Moreover, no one has a reason to smoke (I am a non-smoker) in the house of a mother-to-be as my garden was fully available. No one has the right to ridicule a suffering woman with nausea, vomiting and "Braxton-Hicks" contraction only to leave her in the hands of a healthcarer saying to her "You know...she is Italian, she is bound to complain about everything" .

I'm 12w2d pregnant. I feel like death, nauseous, vomiting, can't walk or stand and I used to work 18-20 hours/day prior to Pregnant helping my rescue animals at home

I have this. No medication helps unfortunately. The worst part is that i still have to work. Sure, its from home, but even in my bed everything seem to move around and sometimes it gets so bad that i cant read anymore. This really sucks. I cant see my friends, i just try to work and the rest of the time lie in a dark room being miserable or try to sleep and not vomit

I suffered with this in my first pregnancy 6 years ago, I am currently pregnant with my second 6 weeks gone, an I am suffering worse than before, I can't even get out of. Bed, sick from the time I get up to when I go to bed, it's just an awful experience, anti sickness don't work the only treatment that works Is the iv drip, going to be a long 9 months and I pray it goes, unfortunately it lasted throughout my previous pregnancy so I don't hold onto much hope, fingers crossed, we got this

I’ve had this with all 3 of my pregnancies and now I’m expecting again and I’m terrified! So far it hasn’t been as bad bc I am able to eat and drink with this pregnancy and I’m only vomiting maybe 1-2 a day! However, the nausea is kicking my butt😫

It's so true. I'm 9 weeks this week and I'm so nauseus all day long. I cant move or talk or eat properly. I feel sooo sick. I end up doing sick at times and it literally drains me out. It's awful. I either stay on the sofa when I can make my way down after much difficulty pr then go back to bed. All whilst moaning whilst I move to distract the sickness feeling. It's awful.

I wonder if I had a stronger gag reflex if I would have this because I gag sooo much all day long to the point of tears but it’s always been hard to make me throw up. Praying for you mamas!

Im on my 6th week of pregnancy first child my HG started at 4wk 4days. I ended up in hospital 2 days ago and off work since. Im so dehydrated and i feel cold all the time because im anaemic as well. Its torturous! Im staying in bed most of the time i feel disabled whilst my partner do things around the house. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Reglan and a hot bath will help Hyperemesis! Ive had this for 2 weeks and i finally picked up the perscription today

My sister had this debilitating condition during her first pregnancy almost throughout all 9 months, her 2nd pregnancy was easy peasy, but now she is pregnant for a 3rd time and suffering even more. She has lost 17 pounds and she's only about 11 or 12 weeks in and taking zofran but it doesn't work. I also had HG and it was horrible, 24/7 nausea and vomiting everyday. Unaware coworkers thought I was suferring from an eating condition and told me I looked very sick. I always ended up going home early. Couldn't sleep, think properly, drive, eat, drink, shower- just function. Eventually, I didn't have my baby.

Question for the HG mommas: how did you decide to have another? I’m 12 weeks pregnant with my first and I’ve decided this will be my only baby. How did you decide you could handle going through it all again?

Im only 7 weeks along and I feel so isolated. Every move has to be with intent or else I will throw up. Thinking about going into my kitchen to maybe get a popsicle turns my stomach and sends me to the bathroom. I left my office job that I had just started in hopes to get a remote one, which I start in a month. I hope things get better because financially It would be catastrophic for my family. I cant even take care of my 4 yo who asks for me. If this would have been my first pregnancy, my son would be an only child.

Why is noone talking about this. Everyone is treating women like this is normal

Mine are all seven years apart and I’ve had it the first two times and am currently suffering now with my third child. I’m miserable. I won’t be doing this again.
