How to Survive Hyperemesis Gravidarum | My HG Tips

[@elliebrooks329]

Yes! To everything you said about medication! While there may be some risks with medications, the risk to me and baby from dehydration and malnourishment were far higher.

Am crying right now. 😢My third pregnancy right now and it's my third time experiencing this HELL HG. Your story encourages me that am not alone😢😢😢

Thank you for this video! I currently have an 8 month old. I want more, but I’m so anxious about being pregnant again. I never got an HG diagnosis, because I think I had a milder version of it, but it was horrendous. I got Zofran from my GP at 5 weeks because I had been vomiting all night and getting dehydrated. I did well on that and it prevented the vomiting and reduced the nausea, but I ended up with a fecal impaction from it. After that I took unisom and b6 for the rest of my pregnancy. This didn’t work as well. I lost my job and just laid on the couch most days trying to sleep. I was vomiting in the back of my mouth 30-40 times a day, but discovered that if I ate crackers right when I thought I would vomit, I could sort of “stuff it back in” for another 5-10 minutes. It didn’t always work, but it did most of the time. I had one bad episode at 27 weeks were I think I injured my esophagus, I was vomiting blood tinged bile. Doctors were so frustrating. Everyone at the obgyn office kept insisting that everything I was experiencing was normal. One doctor said that because I wasn’t actually vomiting everyday and gaining weight (from all those crackers) I “had heartburn and just thought it was nausea.” This is not in my head! Thankfully the good hours and days became more frequent in the last couple months of pregnancy. I don’t know if the probiotic and magnesium-citrate supplements I added had anything to do with that or not. Now that I’m feeling better, I can finally do some research for myself. I met with a midwife for a preconception appointment and she told me she will help me get medication right away of I get pregnant again. I’m nervous about future pregnancies, but I’m also grateful to know I have a medical professional on my side who will listen to me and be proactive next time.

I can totally relate to your story. I remember crying in my car when the doctor insisted I just had heart burn and there was “no way I could still have nausea at 8 months pregnant.” This was my fourth baby and I am nauseous the entire pregnancies. If I have another child I am seeking a midwife..

I have HG right now and it feels sooo good to know that COCA-COLA has been soothing for other women as well I also do 1 a day! God bless everyone and stay strong

[@brunahohensee4486]

Please, I dont know what to do. There is nothing I can eat and no good days. This is my second HG pregnancy and it is só much worse than it was in The first

[@jasminlaurafahrenbruch5807]

How are you doing now? I only just watched this video today and see your comment from 4 month ago. I really hope you are doing better.

[@StarrAndrewsStrongHGactivist]

I had poor care and 10 years later I'm sicker then I was during HG

[@TheKirraneFamilyDiaries]

I’m so sorry to hear that, it’s a terrible condition 💔❤️

[@strayabungie1181]

[@marilynm8481]

Rice and beans on a corn tortilla and mcdonalds sausage biscuits and hashbrowns seem to be all i can handle this week. It's really hard to find anything to drink thats not loaded with sugar, but i can ingest water if i take teeny tiny sips after long intervals.

[@user-ib7it2li8f]

I’m so tired

[@angelgrace3212]

I know you posted this 10 months ago- did you find anything that helped? I’m almost 27 weeks with HG and I need help so bad. I’m falling apart. I don’t know what to do

[@user-ib7it2li8f]

@@angelgrace3212 in the beginning I got medication and also protein shakes. That was a good start. I just slept in a lot. Didn’t work but tried to do social sometimes so I didn’t got to isolated. I choose the baby and that was a good decision! I liked fruits mango pineapple food with little to no herbs and stopped eating before 21:00. Went to psychologist, midwife doctor etc a lot just to make sure everything was ok with me and the baby. Take care my friend! Love from Amsterdam

My baby girls is almost 5 months and she’s so cute 🥰

[@kainatjunaid2084]

I am on my way to third hg pregnancy ...i didnt want a baby after the first one ....the second n third is by accident 😅....i m.dying ......i am so dehydrated that i have kidney problems ....

[@elliebrooks329]

I'm so sorry that's happening to you. I just found out I'm pregnant with baby #2 after an HG first pregnancy. I was able to do at home IVs through a local infusion center which helped tremendously! Is there anything like that in your area?

[@AnchalaPatel]

I had miscarriage at 8 weeks because of then undiagnosed Hyperemesis Gravidarum I had lost 2.5kg weight by then. How many kg weight loosing is normal during first trimester?

[@jordanlogic3239]

Same happened to me

[@AnchalaPatel]

@@jordanlogic3239 Okay thanks, that information is helpful.

[@AnchalaPatel]

@@jordanlogic3239 ma'am just wanted to have some understanding , are people like me able to carry pregnancy for 9 months and have baby? Last time that was my first pregnancy and I was not able to keep water down and had miscarriage. I am planning my next pregnancy and this time I am already terrified 😔

[@elliebrooks329]

​@Gaming Queen I'm so sorry for your loss and your experience. I had HG, lost 12 lbs. (Was already pretty thin) and through medication and IVs from a local infusion center, baby and i both made it! I actually just found out I'm expecting my 2nd!

[@Whitepeachyellowpeach4675]

I lose 15lbs for both my first and second pregnancies and I’m expecting my third ❤
