I broke down when you said you were in a dark place because that’s exactly what I feel. It’s been so rough I am 7 weeks and mine started at 4 weeks I am down 8lbs so far. The hunger pains are annoying because I want to eat but I can’t and the hunger pains get so bad I run to the bathroom and throw up acid. I can’t wait to feel better 🙏🏼

[@yulianashulyar4119]

You will eventually feel better. I felt in such a bad place around this time too, couldn’t get out of bed just would run throw up acid and not being able to keep even water down. I’m almost 19 weeks now and still sometimes will feel nauseous and throw up every once in a while but feeling much better . Hang in there it is really hard to go through this and no one understands why you’re feeling like this but hang in there it will get better. I was sick with my first the whole 38 weeks on and off and though it was bad. This time I have so many other symptoms slowing me down and making this pregnancy so hard.

[@4crazy1chick2]

I had HG with last 2 pregnancies. I got my tubes tied because i was terrified of being sick like that ever again. I had an unsupportive partner at the time and an extremely behavioral child that also made life hell for me. I had 2 terminations due to HG....the moment it started i went and had a termination. I have no regrets at all.

[@ALL_that_ENDS]

Hi. Im a father of a gorgeous baby girl who just turned 2 and my wife and I are currently pregnant with our second child. She has been diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum and has been through, what i can only imagine as complete hell, as it has completely immobilized her from anything she desires to do. As if 13 years ago she was in a horrible car accident that broke her back and it has taken her years to get back to somewhat normal, so she is already fighting constant pain and after this diagnosis, I must say that I have never met a person who is as strong as she is. Now I am just here trying to learn as much as I can, to be able to make it manageable for her. To all of the wonderful women who go through this, I admire you and I really sympathize. I believe more men are learning about this and the ones I know (surprisingly 2) are actively involved in helping their families as they go through this. To wrap up my rambling, I will end with this, bless you all and happy holidays.

[@taletaz2923]

This is lovely. I wish more men took the time to understand

[@Fragrancy]

I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. Have been sick from my 4th week of pregnancy till my 16th, (and was hospitalized because of that). Now ... close to 26 weeks I feel like everything is coming back again. Never in my life I would have thought that being pregnant can be so difficult! Stay strong to everyone fighting this!

[@SuperMaybellene]

IV Fluids really made me live through HG. 🙏🏼 It was hell on Earth. I have never felt so lonely in my life. The non stop nausea, and the sensitivity to smells, was so traumatic. Not to mention the constipation 😌 I couldn’t even sit with my daughter (she was 2 at the time) When my husband picked her up from daycare, she used to smell so much of butter, because they had bread in the afternoon. 😮 I almost died. It was so devastating, not being able to hold your own baby. 7 years on, and I am never going to be the same person I was, before HG. I can’t eat certain food, Sounds and smells really triggers me, and I get so anxious when I feel nauseous. metoclopramid did nothing for me. I also tried something called Emperal- I am from Denmark, so you might not have it in the UK ☺️ Ondansetron was the only thing that helped me just a little bit. I took Them from 15 weeks (I was only diagnosed with HG at 14 weeks) because Doctors kept saying it would stop in my first trimester 😒 And I took ondasetron until our daughter was 6 months, because I felt so sick even after. I have had pregnancies after, that I had to terminate. I am not proud to admit it, but this was our reality. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, and HG is partly to blame. I know your video is a year old, but still I wanted to let you know, that you are strong, for going through this nightmare ❤❤❤❤

[@notneedit]

My first pregnancy 7 years ago was like that I was nearly 4 months in bed and my mom helping me to go to toilet and back at my bed! Got 0 help I always heard the same put things on ur mouth that smelt or drink small sips! I lost 7kg in one month! 3 months pregnant I had a weight of 48kg never ever in my life I had such a low weight! I was young had no idea of HG. No I am on my second pregnancy and lost around 6kg and this time before pregnancy I was around 62kg so I am not small to death but lost weight. So my dr. Just gave me advice again and commented u probably lost weight but u are fine u are bot that small 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I get 0 help here in Sweden got a couple of tablets one didn’t help at all and second one made me feel I was going to dir! Week 15 and still suffering never got IV fluids even though Dr. Know that that may help stabilize our salt and help a bit with nausea so we can eat but nope! Get no help. And I swear I am so tired of having to explain to colleagues and people that I can’t eve stand more than 5min without feeling I am going to pass out 😔😔. I do really feel lonely and no understanding at all 😩😩

Ooh my, I feel every bit of what you both stated here... I have two kids. I have been pregnant 3 times ( the very first one in my country -Slovakia, just let me fully enjoy" whole course of this hellish sickness all the way from around 8weeks up to 15weeks "luckely" not whole pregnancy , until i misscaried around 16th week .., next two -different partner, Uk Scotland this scenario -2 stays in hospital revived with IVes....i remember that feeling of "somehow normal again" or atl east better and I was asking nurse why, and she ansewered, oh, yeah, that is simply just liquids we get into you.....heh that you are hungry, that it's painfull and you just can't get nothing down, just puking your own stomach out bleeeh...just the look on plain water made me go crazy...oh my goodness, just exactly how you described my dear heroes... also they gave me some antisickness pills , which i puked out right after i swallow them, than they change it for injections Now at my 46, when I said to myself I'm definetly done ( not louder enough in front of my man😬 ) here we ( i) go again... just registred with maternity services still in scotland, didn't actually throwing up but that presence of all day nausea is completely enough to feel like zombie...whatever outcome of this pregnancy gona be, it is not a "pleasure" of just to be sick in the morning...I think, who doesn't experience shittery of this type of pregnancy whatever it's been named, people really can't phatom, not even women , who experienced some type of " sickness" discomfort just in certain part of day... this all day misery is beyond point, one can comprehend withouth to actually survive it.

Kept seeing on the internet that vitamin B helps, and tried it August 24th last week, never felt so good, I was confused as to whether it was the pills or my little prayer.

[@C00ri]

First time pregnant. I suffered from this for months. It was the hardest time of my life. When i was 6 weeks pregnant started with being sick only in the evening, vomiting only 1 or 2 times per day. But when week 9 hit things escalated. My sense of smell was ridiculous, i couldnt stand the smell of food, my house, my husband, even myself. I could smell even when the neighbor was cooking or doing laundry. Nausea was present all day, exept when i was sleeping. I was 55 kg at the begining of pregnancy and in 3 weeks i was 45 kg. I was in the hospital 3 times in a month. Medication didnt help, nothing helped. I was scared, tired, i couldnt even take a shower, i hated the smell of my clothes so for 4 months i was bedriden, naked, not being able to do anything. This continued until 19 weeks into pregnancy. Then thing started to get better. I was the lucky one when the sickness lasts only on first trimister. Gradually the nausea dissapeared, and i got better. I am curently 34 weeks pregnant and doing better, now i am 55 kg wich i thing is amazing, means the baby is getting bigger. But that first trimester made me think i dont want to make another baby.

It's been 5 months since I had proper solids. I think I'll have my tubes tied after this baby. This is what hell must feel like. Please don't even get me started on disguesia.

Listening to this in 2023. Your video makes me feel like I am not alone. This journey is so so freaking hard. The cycle continues. I am in my 9 weeks and went for IV couple of times. I can relate everything u are mentioning. 😢

[@japnsUsagi]

Your story of your experience with HG couldn't have been any more resonating to me and made me almost feel like you were also telling my own story. From the debilitating 24/7 nausea/vomiting, to having to be practically bedridden & feeling so isolated & depressed, to my mind wandering into those "dark places", to my husband having to take on 100% of the household chores while still assisting with my care, to having several ER visits so I could receive IV for dehydration, to feeling like a bother whenever I kept telling people nothing worked...the list could keep going on with how much your experience paralleled my own. It made me question about ever wanting to become pregnant again. My nausea also began at around 5 or 6 weeks, and like you, I initially assumed it would be the normal "morning sickness" I always heard about. Little did I know what was actually in store for me for the remainder of my first trimester. My OB eventually suggested weekly IV treatment sessions for me in order to ensure I stayed hydrated, and let me tell you, it did help me. While it didn't necessarily "cure" my feelings of nausea and having to vomit, it sort of gave me that bit of strength each time to at least feel a snippet of what normalcy & feeling human use to feel, and that meant everything when you literally feel like you're starving to death and dying 24/7. I'd say my symptoms began to start to improve very gradually after 12 weeks as well. I still receive IV treatment twice per week, but it's allowed me to be able to keep going through my pregnancy. My ability to eat and drink has although improved a little, although I still do struggle with really finding anything that will sort of calm my feelings of nausea. At best so far, it keeps it from escalating. I'm currently in my 16th week, so I'm hoping that my symptoms will continue to improve and allow me to go back to work again. Thank you so much for sharing your story though. It means a lot to know that my feelings towards this experience have been valid.

[@jodymbula4340]

God bless you, thank you for sharing this so educational… it’s helped me help and understand what my sister is going through 💜

[@nathaliealfaro5615]

Thank you for making this video..I have suffered from HG in all my pregnancies..I am currently pregnant with my third babe and dear lord..it’s the worse run of HG I’ve ever experienced. Sorry to all the mommas out there who experience this..it’s horrible and it does cause PTSD on some degree for sure.

[@katerowland2375]

I’m in tears watching this video, everything you are describing is just like me, luckily I went on cyclizine and ondanstetron in week 9 after one hospital admission and it made a huge difference. Now at week 12, I’m still bed bound/totally stuck upstairs because of smells and exhaustion but I can eat so much better and have stopped dropping weight. Thank you so much for this video, sometimes you feel like your going insane because people just do not understand what your going through, the only people who get it are my poor husband who has to look after me everyday and my mum who had HG with me and my brother. 30 years ago she had no diagnosis, no medications at all and no IV fluids, she was like a skeleton with a massive bump when she gave birth, I truly don’t know how she survived.

[@stacyh8293]

Thank you for bringing awareness to HG I suffered all three pregnancy s but my 3rd was a complete nightmare. Spent 4 months in the hospital just waisting away. Can't wait for a cure so no other women have to suffer!

[@kristinsumiran1203]

Going through with all of these, too. 😢 Was crying while watching this most esp to the time you were like begging for an IV. I had the same experience looking for an IV cause I cling to that little bag of hope to feel okay even for days. Those days mean a looooot! 🥲 In addition, I also experience not being able to tolerate sounds cause it also triggers feeling sick. Same goes with sensitivity to light. It hurts my eyes and head and triggers nausea, too. I think HG levels up our senses and always centered to feeling like throwing up. 😣 I hope we can all get through this and raise more awareness cause pregnant women need help the most. ☹️

[@renatamadicka657]

Omg so nice to find a video like this. I'm 18 weeks now and again finished in the ER yesterday. I had it since week 6 and I'm honestly tired of it. In total I had 4 ER visits and I was 3 days hospitalized. I can't wait for this pregnancy to be done and give birth and enjoy the baby.

[@andreakester997]

Thank you for sharing your story! I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant and am just now getting past my HG that started at 5 weeks. For anyone out there who is also struggling, it does get better! A combination of Zofran and phenergan is what kept me afloat.

[@roxyp7569]

Im going through this for the second time right now. No one believed me the first time until it happened up the birth of my daughter. My second pregnancy was the exact same, im three months along and I had to quit my job. Not to mention after the sickness goes away I got PPD for six months. Please stay spreading awareness it made me so delighted to see people who are spreading the word and knowing I’m not alone!

[@CR-fm3yp]

I’m happy I found this video . Currently vomiting non stop all day all night . I feel hopeless and it’s been almost 3 weeks . I just want to give up 😞 praying for better days ahead !

[@dearqueenette]

Watching this video again after almost 2 years when I was going through HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM without actually knowing what it was and hearing everything you went through made me cry that night. I felt that finally someone understood and that I wasn't the only who had gone through that. This video would forever remain one of my best motivations during my pregnancy. Thank you Ysis.

[@kassidychicken]

Currently going through this, and thank you for sharing your experience. Everyone is telling me it's Normal and I should be more grateful but I've never felt more alone and more isolated. My husband has been amazing but not being able to eat a single thing without vomiting has put me in such a dark place...

[@terikeri7540]

Thank you for sharing I’m struggling with this and I plan on sharing some of these points with my doctor in order to get better , I’m glad you are better

[@cclover808]

I’m so glad I found this video when I did. It was after my second trip to the ER and, like most of the people in the comments, I cried watching it. I was 7 weeks at that time. I was told to try B6, it didn’t work. I was then prescribed raglan but it didn’t work. At 8 weeks, I was on zofran. It helped with the throwing up but I was still nauseous all the time. I was taking zofran twice a day. I was only able to eat food I couldn’t smell. I survived off of eating a little bit of frosted flakes cereal with milk and vanilla ice cream at a time. The nausea started to get better at 15 weeks. 16 weeks was the magic week for me. That is when I was able to eat real food. Some smell I still can’t handle but I can eat now.

[@hajarchikh715]

What can say just thank god for all. I believe whatever we go through it’s meant to make us stronger. I m 5 months as well I m suffering from it as well. I got diagnosed too lat (until late 15 weeks) . Since 6 months I was passing out . No one could describe what I was going through.I m happy to hear you’re going better ❤️💕. I hope people get aware of it more and more to not at least depreciate what we go through. I m sending you much love to you and your baby.😇

[@pregilapragash]

I totally relate... it's my first pregnancy and HG started at my week 5 as well... IV helped me a lot, and after that I was totally alright...but after some weeks, it came back, I feel lonely, I keep crying, but I thank God because this time I can at least drink sips of water.Thank you so much for sharing your experience...I was controlling my tears, until you said you wanted to be in a swimming pool or go to the sea...because that's exactly what I keep telling my husband nowadays...😢 I'm sending you all my love and prayers ! 🙏❤

[@skyyljchannel7724]

I am expecting baby number 4 I’ve never felt like this before! I am 18 weeks and one three medications everyday multiple times a day just to make it through the day and have been hospitalized but I am lucky enough that even though my OB didn’t listen to me my MD did and ordered IV treatments 3 times a week which is what keeps me alive in my opinion! I am so blessed that he listened to me through my tears or lack of because I was so dehydrated I lost over 20 lbs quickly at first they couldn’t even get a vein for the IVs because I was so dehydrated I have never heard of this before this pregnancy and I am so happy I came across the video to read everyone’s comments and to know I’m not alone this is miserable everyone who is going through this you are amazing for continuing to push through!!

[@Afrolecia]

You doing so well gives me big hope. My first time and im experiencing everything you talking about. Im scared but thank you for this

[@amandafairman7155]

This was the best informative Video ever . I haven’t had another child because I was so scared to go through this again ! . Thank you so much for the ino

[@melissaatkins9220]

I felt you when you said you felt isolated and lonely. I had HG with both my pregnancies, but with my 2nd I ended up on steroids to control it which led to low mood and prenatal depression. I've never felt so alone and scared. I feel for anyone suffering with it xxx

[@sarahwhetstone-james4290]

I had Hyperemesis with my daughter, for the ENTIRE pregnancy. (I have Emetophobia, so this was a horrendous time for me). My daughter is now pregnant & suffering just as bad! I’m doing my best to support her, but that’s not easy when you have a horrendous fear of vomit! She is 11 weeks tomorrow, but I’m praying she improves soon & can start to enjoy her pregnancy. Thank you for speaking up for those who are being told that they should just ‘get on with it’. Hyperemesis is a REAL condition & more should be done to raise awareness.

[@QueenQueenly]

This is my worst nightmare as I have the same phobia

[@kathleengivant-taylor2277]

Oh my gosh what a god awful condition. Morning sickness was bad enough. I feel terrible for these poor women having too endure this condition. Sending prayers to you

How’d your daughter manage the vomit w phobia? I struggle myself

Truly grateful for this video, it tells me I’m not alone but idk how much I can bare😭 I keep telling my spouse I cannot do this I feel as though I’m gonna die…I just want to feel better that’s all😔

[@haileyleyba]

😢hang in there mama. right there with you!!

[@hikarisakamoto9195]

First of all congratulations❤️. Im 16 weeks now first pregnancy. I didn't know about HG until I came across your video. Thanks for sharing this information and your experience. I just realized that Im not having normal morning sickness. As soon as I passed 7 weeks the nausea started, couldn't drink or eat and when I try to I end up vomiting (most of the time blood). I lost 4 kg thanks to that, and was hospitalized twice💔 I still can't work or move much, and the heartburn is a nightmare. But compared to the last few weeks I can somehow eat and drink now.

[@manivannansivaraj7324]

Thanks for this video and sharing your experience. My wife is currently going through this severe nausea and commuting phase. She is in her week 13 now. This is our 2nd baby. She is a very lively and energetic person. Seeing her bedridden is deteriorating. I wish she will feel better by the end of first trimester. It is hard for any ladies to go over this. Salute to all mothers who sustained and passed through this hell to bring another soul into earth. It needs immense courage and determination. Thank you all!

[@ambikalama1897]

Hyperemesis + constipation - hell of my life

[@EW-zx7du]

I literally started crying when you started saying your symptoms and you talked about being in a dark place. That validated everything I was feeling. Some women that never had it looked at me like I was overreacting…. I spent four days in the hospital. Showers are still difficult to take because the end of the day is the worst nausea. Thank God for the medication similar to the ones you took.

[@latifajackson975]

I’ve had this with my son and I was hospitalized and was so miserable. I’m currently expecting now feeling nauseous but haven’t vomit as of yet. Praying to God this will not affect me again. I know what everyone is going through. It truly take a toll on your mental health.

[@jadanzionzechariah]

I cried watching this as well. I'm about 6-7 weeks now going through it for the second time. This needs to be talked more about this is not normal! At all.

[@emmakathure9280]

Thankyou for sharing your Experience ! This is the third time am going through this HELL HG It's the worst experience to have. May God see us through

[@achsahjohn6557]

I don't feel lonely anymore after watching this video and reading the comments. I'm going through this right now and I can't describe in words what it's like to be feeling like this. I'm in my third month now and I've been laying in bed all day everyday. Please Pray for me and my prayers to everyone going through this phase. May God heal us and may we enjoy this journey.

[@simsthre4078]

All doctors need to watch this. I haven’y showered in days

[@sky242]

Watching this video brings back so many memories from 2nd pregnant and the anger I feel still is actually surprising me because I was refused fluids because the doctor said if I wasn't pregnant I'd be admitted for fluids but because I was I couldn't have them as the pregnancy ward didn't want me. I was lucky that an emergency doctor I spoke to prescribed me Ondansetron which was the only thing that helped me in anyway. I had so many doctors that were useless, judgemental and clueless about HG. So much more needs to be done. Tbh this is a huge part of why baby number 3 won't happen for us.

[@fff5572]

I would have benefited so much from this when I was pregnant. I was completely debilitated but always downplayed it at the doctor's because I found medical settings so intimidating. It was a very isolating and agonizing experience. I know better for the next time

[@hannahsomers2103]

I am going through my first pregnancy at 9 weeks and have been hospitalised x3 times in the last x2 weeks and have lost 10lbs in the timeframe already - HG is the most mentally exhausting battle I’ve ever experienced, let alone physical battle. On x3 anti-sickness medications after being discharged yesterday and just hoping for things to get better 🙏

[@nikitapeters5630]

This is my 2nd pregnancy. HG is kicking my butt. Nothing staying down, super weak had to be hospitalized and given drips. I feel soooooo out of it all i do if vomit and cry ALLLL DAY.

[@o0laieta0o]

Be strong ❤️ it will still suck but make sure they give you meds that dissolve in the tongue so you don't need water to take them. 8mg of Zofran/odansetron is working relatively well for me but you can try different ones... hopefully you find something that works for you ❤️

[@YsisLorenna]

Sending you so much love. I really really do feel you and understand exactly what you are saying. It’s truly awful. Please do reach out to your doctor or midwife and ask about your treatment options. There’s help out there, even if it doesn’t cure it completely it might give you some relief! ❤️

[@mariael498]

Stay strong mom! I’m going through this how at 7 weeks.

[@hasnaameziane3410]

[@farheenashraf2304]

Yes.. this is me. Completely. When water started triggering my puking, i just lost it. I find myself crying everyday because i cant do anything at all. Thank you for making this. Thank you❤

[@user-mz7ww4fu6g]

Im a student midwife and have had a young woman in and out of hospital, being carried in by her partner because she cant move, vomiting into a shopping bag, everytime she came in it seemed she lost another stone. She was just bones and skin. I cant stop thinking about her and how I could have made her feel better. It was so heartbreaking 💔

[@tharpediem3490]

I'm so glad I found dthis video. I'm 10 weeks and this has been my experience since week 5. Lost 12 pounds and just feeling miserable. Can't eat or stomach most smells. To feel yourself starve and yet constantly sick is torment. I pray there is an end in sight and glad it wasn't all in my head.

[@ek5022]

Hg sucks! How are you feeling now? Hope you are better!

[@sarahhudia5639]

That's it! That's how it feels, im starving but i know my food wouldn't be processed either! Oh to feel all of that while worrying your fetus' nutrition 😭 i'm at 8 weeks going 9, i'm gonna consult to my obgyn trough phonw tommorow, but really im sceptical she'd be saying its all normal, when i could only get 2 small meal down a day and vomit 3 times :)

[@brooklyngray6300]

This is such a amazing explanation! I am 12 weeks and have had it since 5 weeks pregnant it’s the most horrible thing I have been through but atleast there is hope

[@deolao542]

Thank you for this video....it means a lot to everyone going tru this right now

[@zanna1451]

Currently 10 weeks pregnant with HG. Had IV a week ago and feeling terrible again. I was feeling really miserable before watching your video, really feels like this will never end. But knowing you made it through gives me some hope.

[@nehasaha7960]

This was so helpful and relatable

[@zendybithao3525]

I can relate to everything you have experienced with HG. I am just glad I choose a great doctor who knew exactly what I have. She immediately put me on Ondansetron (Zofran) and reassured me that she has given this many times to her patients and had helped them a lot without any complications with their baby. It was a risk I take and now I am able to tolerate smoothies and hoping I get better soon. Thank you for sharing your story and hoping everyone shouldn't be afraid to seek medical help and any medical professionals should take this condition seriously.

[@lauramorgan27]

Phobia of vomiting + HG = my personal hell

[@crashlogs447]

KZbin don't have love symbol it only has like. No one talking about HG with this much detail. Thanks for this video. Now my wife is suffering from HG for last few weeks. Don't know when she will recover. But this video gives me hope. Thanks for this wonderful video.

[@DanaAngelaAlexisMiller]

This is me right now! Thank you so much. Tomorrow I will be 8 weeks, and already been to the ER twice, but now I'm on Ondansetron. I just keeping reminding myself that God is with me and that I can't wait to have this beautiful baby. 💖

[@criscabi4607]

Obrigada, gracias, thank you. Same same. Hg week 6, i have been in the hospital every week for IV. I tried 4 medications. Only ondansetron is helping me drink and eat an apple a day and some veggies. I cry every day. Thanks for this, I am not alone! People said it was psicological or i was exagerating!! No one really knows about this. Thanks again.

[@xxGuItArGiRLxx89]

Congratulations 🎉👶🏻

[@joanneproud8845]

Your story is very similar to mine. I’ve now had 3 HG pregnancies although first time round I just thought it was normal and got no help. But each time I was sick for two trimesters. Before i was medicated I was vomiting up to 40 times a day. I also had the hyper salivation and had to carry a towel with me to spit on which made me feel so disgusting. I couldn’t take care of my kids because I couldn’t even really move. Triggers to make me vomit were smells etc but also if I had the thought of having a nap in the day, I would vomit. I am going to share this video because so many people out there have no idea just how debilitating it really is. The worst comment that people said to me was “it’s worth it” or even more annoying and actually patronising “some people can’t even get pregnant so think yourself lucky” this made me furious, of course I was blessed to be pregnant but that doesn’t mean my problems weren’t VERY real. I was sterilised during my third c section because I knew I could not live through another round of HG. Thank goodness for ondansetron, it is a lifesaver but I wish I hadn’t had to fight so hard to be prescribed it in the first place.

[@neuroticgypsy]

I had this too and that hypersalivation oh my god i never ever ever want to go through that again

[@daoudsalam8101]

My wife is currently going through this and she is 7 weeks pregnant. Today she told me she is going to book an abortion as she can't find it no longer. Its difficult to watch her in this grave condition she is in and i feel helpless but who am i now to decide what she does? i have persuaded her not to but she has lost so much weight.

[@neuroticgypsy]

@@daoudsalam8101 she needs to go to get IV fluids at the ER immediately. It will get better, but mine didn’t get better until 20 weeks. I also wanted an abortion and when a woman wants an abortion just know it’s not her heart talking…this disease is KILLING her. That’s how we feel like we are dying!

[@shaynaemoss7250]

OMG this is me, I was trying to get pregnant for over two years and now it's finally happened. I am sooo happy, to be pregnant but WOW. This is killing me, and my sister keeps saying, still do anything to be in my shoes. Because I would say to her I would give anything to be pregnant, give me the morning sickness give to me all, but this is not morning sickness. This is hell, that's what this is. I am praying it passes soon, because I'm in hospital every week. 🥺😭

[@diabloakland]

@@daoudsalam8101 i appreciate you sharing this. This is extremely okay if she wants to do it. Don’t let people persuade or dissuade you! She will likely need lots of medical attention if she does change her mind. If she doesn’t, it may or may not happen the next time you both try to conceive. I really do not think it is a bad thing to do whatever her choice is.
