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 🙏🏼
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.
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!
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.
😢😢😢 thank you. Hearing a man say he admires all the ladies that go through this gives me strength. Thank you i appreciate it because right now I'm going through a really tough time with this illness. All i do is cry.
I only made it to 9 weeks before terminating. Puking was my first symptom. In those 9 weeks, I lost 19 pounds. I puked around 15 times daily. Fought with multiple doctors to get any anti-nausea meds. None of which helped anyway. They just kept telling me this was “the sign of a healthy pregnancy.” I have GERD and couldn’t keep down my medicine. I had to sleep in a recliner because every time I laid down, stomach acid just came out of my mouth. I cried constantly from the intense heart burn. I had horrible stomach pain from how hungry I was, I couldn’t even keep down water. My husband was absolutely wonderful during this whole thing, yet I felt completely alone. I felt like I was a slave to my body, I wasn’t even involved in my life. I got so low. While sitting in a parking lot trying to decide what food my body could maybe tolerate, I cried and cried and told my husband I didn’t think I could do this anymore. Never once did anyone mention the words Hyperemesis Gravidarum to me. I had never heard of it until my husband did research online. My doctors were never concerned until I came in for an appointment and told them I had terminated. It makes me sad how little this is illness is addressed.
@Angie-t4h Honestly.. So relieving. I was so sick and detached that I never really felt pregnant or felt a connection to this possibly baby. The very next day, I was completely back to myself and never puked again.
Finally I found someone who has experienced exactly what I experience and is experiencing right now. Every word you said made so much sense because I feel that the world doesn't understand people with HG, and your work place is a gift from God, most of our employers never understand. We need to raise awareness about HG and hope that one day there won't be so much stigma but also that a cure will be found safe enough for both mother and baby.
I’m crying watching this, just hearing you describe how sick you felt and your symptoms. I’m on my 4th pregnancy currently and I can’t believe how sick I have been. I’m nauseous right now and hearing other peoples story is what’s distracting me right now as I lay in bed feeling like I’m on a boat. Some family has not been supportive and think it’s just me exaggerating. No! Crackers and ginger tea has not helped. Stay hydrated ladies, to whoever is reading this, stay strong. Fight through this. The product is our precious babies. It will all be worth it ❤️🙏🏼
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!
I’m currently 6 weeks and having my first baby. I’ve cried every single day because I have HG and to make it worse I am already petite and underweight to begin with. I’m also a single mom so I’m so glad that I found this video. I feel so terrible every day but I pray my baby comes out perfectly healthy
Have patience.. go for IV if you feel it.after 10 weeks it starts getting a bit better. But 7-9 weeks are terrible be mentally strong hope bad days will go soon.✌🏻
Thank you for sharing! I suffered with HG my entire pregnancy, alone, in graduate school, I lost 40lbs, was hospitalized for almost a week after passing out of the subway, and ended up with a Zofran pump for the last 6 months of my pregnancy. All of what you shared is exactly how I remember it. I’ve been frightened to ever become pregnant again because of the HG experience I had.
@@vcox6551 I am so sorry, I know it’s rough. Hang in there mama! Yes, mine finally started to subside when I hit around 16 weeks. Reglan (Metoclopramide) is the medicine that finally worked for me after trying 4 others. I am currently 29 weeks and it has started to come back but not as strong as I was in the beginning! Remember if you need to go to the hospital to get fluids and IV meds DONT hesitate. That’s the only sort of relief I got in the beginning. Take care of you and your little babe, you WILL get through this! ❤️
My 1st pregnancy and this is exactly what I’m going through at 7 weeks. I wish this was spoken about more. Feeling so weak. Had IV last night in the ER and praying I feel better sooner rather than later. Thank you for sharing 💕
My heart goes out to you and anyone ever suffering with HG. I had my 1st baby Nov 2020 and suffered with it myself. Trying to explain how you feel to someone who calls it 'bad morning sickness' breaks you a bit more. I have never felt so terrible in my whole life! Now looking at my 6 month old I don't know how I did it but I got there. I was still sick up until birth but it improved into my 3rd trimester. It won't feel like it now but your feel normal again ❤️
I Also have HG, I am 11 weeks AMD last 6 weeks hace been a nightmare, and IT is too frustraiting to struggle and continue worsening. People do not understand and give advices Like "just try to eat more, just try to Drink more water"... but I can't. In hospital I were Medicated with ondansetron and I have been so worry about the risks of that Droug on my baby development. I just hope to have the strenght to cope with this and maybe it could stop in 1 or 2 mire weeks.
I’m crying so much watching this… This is exactly what I’m going through. I felt like I’m going crazy as no one around me knows about this and told me this is just a morning sickness… Thank you so much for sharing your story…
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 ❤❤❤❤
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. To all women with experience of this: **May you all be heared out, understood and taken adequate human care** 🪻🩵🌺🩵🌸🩵
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.
I am happy for you that you have improved, as if you describe my condition exactly I lost 9 kilos of weight in only 3 weeks, I hate all food and all smells even my body odor, you gave me hope for improvement, I am very eager to know the gender of the baby but I am still in the tenth week, do you know? accept my regards 🌹
I’m from Japan and I also deal with HG. I was hospitalized for 7 days total. I’m 12weeks and compare to 6-7weeks I’m getting little better, sometime I vomit 3 times a day, sometime none. But 24/7 feels like I have motion sickness. I hope one day soon I’ll get over this ! Hope all of ladies who are going through this will get better soon as well !
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.
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 !
This has to be thee most accurate and thorough expression of what I am experiencing. I’m crying because I felt like no one gets it, but this is it. I’m suffering daily but this just gave me hope. Thank you for sharing. I’m praying for healing each day, and trusting the process ❤
I feel weird commenting on this because I’m a guy, but my partner is 14 weeks pregnant now and she’s going through everything you said! At first I thought it was just really bad morning sickness until I looked into it and came across this. I’m scared as hell for my partner and especially for our baby. Thank you for sharing your story it has really brought light to me about the condition and how I can handle and comfort my missus!
Update: we went to the hospital and they gave her emexlon and ondansetron which helped her heaps! She’s slowly getting better and her mood swings have calmed down big time haha she’s now 5 months pregnant, and we’re waiting for our gender reveal🙏
@@CMHMom23 we are now at home with our beautiful daughter! Her pregnancy was a roller coaster ride but towards her last trimester her pain went away and she was eating pretty much anything.
I'm 23 weeks preggo 1st baby. HG since 6th week. Hospitalised several times. Lost 22lbs. On Zofran and Doxylamine combined that helps me drink lil bit of water. I can barely keep any food down. I'm bed ridden. While others are glowing, doing yoga and taking prenatals, I'm pinned to bed, can't bath, trying to make it one day a time. 17 more weeks to go and I feel like giving up most times. 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. Metallic mouth all day long! Edit : would like to know from others moms with HG on their delivery experiences. I don't think I ll have the strength to push.
My heart goes out to you. I was sick until 20 weeks with my first baby and then sick the whole time with my second baby, but it was controllable with zofran and doxylamine. Now with my third baby and 13 weeks pregnant life is hellish. Retching and vomiting. Feeling hopeless and wanting to give up but afraid of what it means to "give up"
@@mamakoko4570 Hang in there mama. More power to you ❤️ I feel you. Sincerely praying you get through this and the baby can help you forget this nightmare
Hang in there ladies. A lot of love and power to u. I gave birth to my boy and he s 3 months old already. My Hyperemesis vanished the very second he came out. I ve been revenge eating since then. Please hangin there. It ll be over in no time. I would also suggest u to take your Prenatal vitamins as u aren't eating anything else.
Sobbing while watching this, going through this hell again and contemplating terminating because I went through HG from week 1 until labour with my daughter a mere 2 years ago. I was just discharged from a 6 day hospital stay. They put me on Zofran (ondansentron) which helps a bit but getting a doctor to prescribe It to me after hospital has been hell on earth. Sending love to all women going through this.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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!
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.
I’m happy to have finally come across an instance of HG improving. I’ve been searching through TH-cam looking for hope that I’ll get better so thank you! I was diagnosed with HG at 7 weeks and now at 10 weeks, it’s suddenly improving. I hope I’m one of the lucky ones but of course I worry it may come back. I’m glad you were able to get better 🙏
I’m 10 weeks with my second baby. I don’t remember feeling this awful everyday. Hopefully this ends soon! Praying for all of you who are still pregnant and going through it ❤
Try vitamin B complex tablets. Mine started at 6 weeks ,and I could just remember how bad it was with my previous baby and cried praying I just want to have fun this time around without all that pain. 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.
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.
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.
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❤
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.
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 ❤️
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! ❤️
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.
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 :)
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.
I appreciate your transparency. I feel like most moms don't want to admit the great lengths we want to go to in order to avoid this living hell all over again. I don't blame you one bit. This current pregnancy will be my last one aswell for this very reason.
I terminated at 9 weeks due to HG. Every single month, I have this horrible anxiety that my period isn’t going to show. Every time I get nauseous, I start hyperventilating. The idea of going through that again is absolutely terrifying. My husband is getting a vasectomy soon, no kids for us.
Hello Ysis, what a wonderful video on bringing up awareness on Hyperemesis. We are a specialist maternity hospital originating from Singapore and Beijing, and we specialize in the effective diagnosis and treatment of HG. We have effectively treated hundreds of patients with this dreadful condition that plagues pregnant women, with their symptoms alleviating overnight. We are currently working very hard to bring our treatment to all women worldwide, especially in the Western World ❤️
Thank you for sharing this video. Glad to see more women talking about this (but not really at the same time). This sickness is truly a monster! I had it so bad I couldn't even drink water. I pray one day there will be a cure or even a prevention for this sickness ❤️
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😔
Grateful for this post. It feels good that there are others to understand what you go through.Im still traumatized from my first pregnancy where I had severe HG. It took 10 yrs to gather my courage to try for second child. Now I am 7 weeks with second pregnancy, here is HG again. I am just hoping to take one day at a time and get through this.
Thank you for sharing this video! I suffered from HG and had to be admitted to hospital for fluids, and you are so right, you really have to be your own advocate and trust yourself when speaking out that what you're going through is not normal morning sickness - so helpful to see also other comments of people going through this, makes you feel less alone!
Thank you for sharing! I had no clue this was a thing. I would complain about being so ill and people would just say it’s just morning sickness it will pass! This is my first pregnancy, found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks and weighed 215lbs. I’m now 14 weeks and weigh 189 lbs. I cry every night, I’m extremely weak and just don’t have the energy or strength to do anything!💔🥺😭
I’m so emotional watching this, I felt alone when you’re constantly telling people no you don’t understand, I’m really sick I can barely move. Thank you for sharing this, I’m currently 9 weeks and 4 days pregnant and man oh man I feel your story. Thankful for this upload, God bless you ♥️♥️
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
Although my children are now 14,12 and 6 I still remember how awful HG was for me. I’m sure I actually have some PTSD as a result of how my HG was treated and how long it took to get under control. I was honestly at such a low, especially during my 1st and 2nd pregnancies. I would love to have another baby but the thought of going through this again just fills me with utter dread.
In tears immediately watching this.. On my second pregnancy, my all day sickness has gotten so bad, so hard to do this everyday of my life I am the thinnest I’ve been in years and can’t hold anything down, and everyone around me says ginger, crackers, and water 😭😭😭
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.
This was really reassuring. I'm mentally exhausted and feeling like I'm pushing myself everyday to just function. My doc put me on Ondansetron as soon as I was diagnosed from the hospital.
I'm so sorry you went through this! I'm going through it myself for the last 5 weeks. I'm blessed enough to have IV care around the clock at home. It costs an arm and a leg but it keeps me alive. It's such a horrendous experience!!!
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.
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.
@@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!
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. 🥺😭
@@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.
I am currently 12 weeks and 5 days, I’ve been suffering since week 6. Hospitalized for 4 days in my 9th week. I get a relief every time I watch this video hoping that I get a relief in week 13 or 14. I see so many comments with the same issues and I hope that everyone gets better soon because this is so tough! Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy 🙏🏼
Hi, I am 8 weeks 5 days and I can’t keep down any food or drink for last 2 weeks. I consider going to ER but I have never been in ER. I don’t know how to explain them what I am going through. Did you go to ER?
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.
My wife is going through the same right now, 7th week she has been admitted in the hospital twice in a week. I pray God will strengthen her through this time its our first it feels like we are gonna put a full stop after this.
I have HG. Have been on disability without pay since 11weeks. It’s so hard financially. I am now 32 weeks. In and out of hospital. My job just cancelled my health insurance because I can’t afford it. I wish that there was more help for women like us. I can’t even afford my bills. I feel like such a bad mom because I can’t work and give my child what it needs. And I feel like I’m such a bad mom because I can’t afford my bills and everything is getting taken away. Also watch out for your teeth during this time. I lost a tooth because of HG. Not only did I loss 40 lbs but losing teeth. This is so hard.
I'm having HG (currently 23 weeks first pregnancy and taking zofran since week 12) and I was wondering why no one really talks about it... Thankfully zofran works for me but it's still making me so depressed and I really don't wanna be pregnant ever again and it makes me so sad... Thank you for doing this video, it just makes me feel less alone. Edit: my doctor never mentioned the lip study 😐
Same here. This is my first child and I told my husband this will be our last. There is no way I could go through this a second time. And my doctor never mentioned the lip study to me either 😞
I’m going through this now. I’m 6 weeks and 3 days. I feel like no one is understanding me every time I try to explain what I’m going through. I’m literally struggling so much.
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!!
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. 😢
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. 💖
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for sharing. Currently 10 weeks and I feel so weak. I just hope all of us and our babies feel better. God bless you all, it's really horrible
Was diagnosed with Hg today and I've been living in hell since 5 weeks I'm 11 weeks now! It's my 4th child and ive never had HG before I'm miserable and enjoyed watching your video even if the light hurts my eyes! Ugh water I miss water so much. Thanks for your words of motivation. It means alot. # NOT ALONE
I'm at 15 weeks. My doctor prescribed zofran and phenergan, neither of which are helping. The ER refused to do anything. They wouldn't do an IV, instead they prescribed Reglan and told me to eat ice chips at home to replenish fluids. A different doctor ordered weekly IV fluids 3 weeks ago and they still have not approved the referral. My fiance is in the military and currently in a different state and i had to leave my job because they werent willing to work with me in any way. My doctor still keeps calling it morning sickness, I've thrown up 3 times today from taking sips of gatorade. This is one of the scariest experiences of my life.
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.
Omg, I’m praying you recover rapidly and completely. It sounded horrendous and hellish! 😭 Hugs! It feels so good to hear you’re better. Everything will be smooth and everyone will be safe from now.
@@cloudedcolour5329 usually not. In the first trimester the babies feed heavily off the placenta, so even if mom's not eating hardly anything the babies are well fed. This is also a huge factor why mothers feel so drained in this trimester.
I'm so glad I came across your video I am so pleased your feeling better. I had HG with my pregnancy and HONESTLY it is the WORSE thing I EVER experienced. It did ease off on the 2nd trimester and I was on my knees thinking god it was getting better. I definitely 100% felt that no one understood what I was going through and people thought I was exaggerating I felt so alone so low I actually remember feeling that I wanted to die. I got attmitted to hospital few times would of been more if like you said the ketones didnt show I was dehydrated enough. I'm currently trying for baby number 2 and I'm absolutely petrified it happening again because I have a son to look after this time around . X
How are you doing? We MC in January and we’re going to try again but like you I’m sooooo petrified of the nausea and possible vomiting it’s the reason it’s keep me from being excited.
Your story sounds exactly like mine. I was bed bound for two months and it’s hard because you feel totally robbed of the enjoyment of pregnancy that other women get. It put me off having no. 2 for years, but at this moment, we are two months away from going through ivf for the second time to have our second. It’s taken me 4 years to build up the courage to go through this again. I’m mentally preparing myself for what’s ahead 🙈 and just reminding myself that it’s 9 months of hell, for a lifetime of love ❤ Thank you so much for sharing your journey. No one ever gets this illness, unless they’ve lived the relentlessness of HG 😩
I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. My wife is going through it right now and is almost 12 weeks. As I’m typing this she’s at the hospital and will hopefully get some fluids. She had it with our first baby and unfortunately had it the whole pregnancy but it did get better towards the end. I’m hoping this pregnancy goes as your did where she gets better towards the end of it. Thanks for sharing your story.
@@ramk5897 thanks for asking, no she didn’t really get better. Towards the last month they told her she had preeclampsia and she had to be hospitalized for almost 2 weeks. They were going to have her deliver at 34 weeks, but she improved while at the hospital and they ended up inducing her at 37 weeks. To add to the fun of her pregnancy there were no delivery rooms available when they induced her (she went into labor super fast) and she had to deliver without an epidural. She was in excruciating pain and I felt so bad for her. However, we are thankful to say that the baby was ok and he is now just over 3 months old and my wife is pretty much fully recovered. I hope no one has to go through what we did.
Going through this right now at 7 weeks…I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Even when I’m not puking, I’m nauseous all day everyday. I have become bed bound because I lack the energy to do anything at all. I’ve been put on several different medications and none seem to help. All I can do is hope it goes away in the second trimester
Im 11 weeks pregnant and I’ve been experiencing this since 5-6 weeks it’s literally the worst this is my first pregnancy and I feel so hopeless they prescribed me vitamin b6 and zofran but I can’t even manage to keep them down in my stomach Im super super nauseas I literally pray that this goes by very quick and that I start to feel better for all the mommy’s who are currently going through this I know how hard it is but keep pushing ❤️ this is gonna be all worth it at the end ❤️
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
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.
I experienced this with my first pregnancy and everyone thought I was carrying a girl, Even my doctor said so based on the judgment that it only happens to women carrying a baby girl. Though it stopped when I clocked 4 months (2nd trimester). I later had a baby boy to everyone's surprise
I am in your shoes now. I can't sip a bottle of water with enjoyment. i am jealous of it. I am not able to wash my hair, walk outside. I missed my past days. I wish it passed so quick😷😷
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 💔
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing your story, I suffered in silence during my 1st pregnancy because I had no idea what was happening. I missed so much work that I was let go, I was made to feel like it was just morning sickness & I couldn’t handle it. It wasn’t until my 2nd pregnancy that I was diagnosed with HG, it was so debilitating & really affected my quality of life. I pray everyday my body has mercy on me my 3rd pregnancy.
First time being pregnant I am 9weeks & this is my exact experience i appreciate you so much because I felt alone and didn’t know if it was just me I am trying my best to pull through this thankful to have women like you that are willing to speak on this ❤
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 🙏
Holy crap I have all the exact symptoms as you. This is my 3rd pregnancy as well. It’s so hard physically and mentally, I feel a little less alone, thank you.
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 ! 🙏❤
Thank you so much for this video. I was in a Cley dark place from week 5. 3rd pregnancy and 3rd HG but 1st 2 pregnancies 9 and 7 years ago HG was completed dismisses and I don't know how I made it. Watching your video after researching my symptoms I advocated for myself even in my weakest and got better treatment by health professionals . Was diagnosed with hg and that was a relief. I am 20 weeks now and is much better but still on few medicines
I’m almost 12 weeks pregnant and still battling with HG it started since 6 weeks pregnant, I don’t wish this sickness on my worse enemy pfff …!!!! Lord knows how hard it can be
Hello, I’m currently 10 weeks and 5 days and I’m currently going through EVERYTHING that you’ve mentioned including feeling like a mental burden on doctors and my husband. My doctor increased my Zofran/Ondansetron from 1 (4mg) every 6hrs to 1 (8mg) and alternate to 1 (25mg) of Promethazine every 2hrs. I’m petrified of taking the medications so frequently but I feel and look terrible! My favorite drink is WATER but I can’t have it. Every smell bothers me from hand soaps, dish soaps, perfumes, colognes, food, pretty much anything except air. I too spend my days in our bedroom away from the world. There were times that I felt that my baby hated me 🥺. I enjoyed your video because you understand. I too plan to advocate for future moms who may have to experience this and will continue to research HG and ways to improve treatment for it. Thank You so much…and yes I literally cried watching you drink your water 😭. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to join you with a tall ice cold glass of water!!! ❤️❤️
@@SonyaOutThere I’m now 15 weeks and one day as of yesterday. I was placed on home care where I receive Zofran through an infusion pump in my stomach and IV Fluids in my arm a few weeks ago. I had lost over 30lbs and I was starting to loose muscle mass as well due to my inability to eat or drink. I recently started eating small portions of solid food however I mostly eat freeze pops and I can drink cranberry juice (preferably frozen) without feeling nauseous, dry heaving, or vomiting. Being diagnosed with Hyperemisis and my experience has been extremely difficult. I’ve been unable to work and I’m still limited to what I can do around the house. I’m also a newlywed so I feel like a horrible wife right now. My doctor said things should start to simmer down within a few weeks and I’m praying that it does so that I can finally find enjoyment in my first pregnancy. I do know that I don’t want to have any more children as this has been a traumatizing experience. Sending lots of love and prayers to all the moms who are experiencing this as well ❤️🙏🏾
@@2008kaila Thank you. I'm pregnant with my 2nd right now, but I do feel like my second pregnancy has been harder than my first where I only had about 3 weeks of not feeling well as opposed to almost 2 months here. I'm on Zofran too, but I take the tablet orally daily. I guess I don't have it as bad as some people. I'm waiting to feel better soon as I'm 12 weeks and my first trimester is coming to end. God bless and all the best.
M 10 weeks now...whtever u said here is totally reflecting me m nauseous whole day n m throwing up untill nothing is left, m tired even if i take rest whole day n whole night. .. m already down with 3gms of haemoglobin n m scared wht if it keeps on reducing....sometimes i feel like how will i keep continue these whole nine month.
I was feeling so sick all throughout my pregnancy. Although, I was never diagnosed I was suffering so much. From 5 weeks onwards it kept getting worse. I bought it up to my doctor who was pretty dismissive. People kept saying it was going to get better second trimester, but at that point I was still running to the restroom 6x times a day. I remember the worst day was 15 times a day. I literally didn't sleep and was in the restroom all night. People kept saying to eat crackers or plain foods, but I couldn't stomach anything. A lot of people just didn't get it and I felt extremely alone. Just typing this up brings back a lot of memories. If you are suffering right now, you are not alone. Stay strong!
My first pregnancy I couldn’t eat anything and my mouth tasted of metal. It was demoralizing. I started counting my throw up and made it to 24 one day-which made me oddly proud because I had to be proud of something. Lol. Had to go to ER twice and could not move. I couldn’t even look at screens. 3rd time I was able to go to urgent care thank God for that hospital bill being better. Second pregnancy is better but I’m currently confined to room with filters at week 14. Thanks for giving room for people to vent. I’m so pissed at this point. It’s a sign of terrible care that we have not thoroughly researched this by now. What am I grateful for? A really good husband! And a couple of people praying. It means the world to have a good partner.
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 🙏🏼
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.
Hmmmmm going through a lot right now
My heart is with you ladies. I feel horrible too ❤ we have each other
Thesame....i am experiencing it ryt now😭😭
@@edz9543 me too. this is the worst feeling ever.
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!
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.
This is lovely. I wish more men took the time to understand
WE are not pregnant sweetheart, SHE is pregnant 😆😆😆
😢😢😢 thank you. Hearing a man say he admires all the ladies that go through this gives me strength. Thank you i appreciate it because right now I'm going through a really tough time with this illness. All i do is cry.
I only made it to 9 weeks before terminating. Puking was my first symptom. In those 9 weeks, I lost 19 pounds. I puked around 15 times daily. Fought with multiple doctors to get any anti-nausea meds. None of which helped anyway. They just kept telling me this was “the sign of a healthy pregnancy.” I have GERD and couldn’t keep down my medicine. I had to sleep in a recliner because every time I laid down, stomach acid just came out of my mouth. I cried constantly from the intense heart burn. I had horrible stomach pain from how hungry I was, I couldn’t even keep down water.
My husband was absolutely wonderful during this whole thing, yet I felt completely alone. I felt like I was a slave to my body, I wasn’t even involved in my life. I got so low. While sitting in a parking lot trying to decide what food my body could maybe tolerate, I cried and cried and told my husband I didn’t think I could do this anymore.
Never once did anyone mention the words Hyperemesis Gravidarum to me. I had never heard of it until my husband did research online. My doctors were never concerned until I came in for an appointment and told them I had terminated. It makes me sad how little this is illness is addressed.
@Angie-t4h Honestly.. So relieving. I was so sick and detached that I never really felt pregnant or felt a connection to this possibly baby. The very next day, I was completely back to myself and never puked again.
Finally I found someone who has experienced exactly what I experience and is experiencing right now. Every word you said made so much sense because I feel that the world doesn't understand people with HG, and your work place is a gift from God, most of our employers never understand. We need to raise awareness about HG and hope that one day there won't be so much stigma but also that a cure will be found safe enough for both mother and baby.
I’m crying watching this, just hearing you describe how sick you felt and your symptoms. I’m on my 4th pregnancy currently and I can’t believe how sick I have been. I’m nauseous right now and hearing other peoples story is what’s distracting me right now as I lay in bed feeling like I’m on a boat. Some family has not been supportive and think it’s just me exaggerating. No! Crackers and ginger tea has not helped. Stay hydrated ladies, to whoever is reading this, stay strong. Fight through this. The product is our precious babies. It will all be worth it ❤️🙏🏼
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!
I’m currently 6 weeks and having my first baby. I’ve cried every single day because I have HG and to make it worse I am already petite and underweight to begin with. I’m also a single mom so I’m so glad that I found this video. I feel so terrible every day but I pray my baby comes out perfectly healthy
Have patience.. go for IV if you feel it.after 10 weeks it starts getting a bit better. But 7-9 weeks are terrible be mentally strong hope bad days will go soon.✌🏻
Hey do you still have it?? How are you doing now??
Thank you for sharing! I suffered with HG my entire pregnancy, alone, in graduate school, I lost 40lbs, was hospitalized for almost a week after passing out of the subway, and ended up with a Zofran pump for the last 6 months of my pregnancy. All of what you shared is exactly how I remember it. I’ve been frightened to ever become pregnant again because of the HG experience I had.
I remember people telling me to eat ginger…because it’s just “morning sickness” to this day, I cannot smell or taste ginger without wanting to vomit.
Crying watching this, going through this right now and you’ve made me feel less alone ❤️
You're not alone. Join HG FB groups. There are a few! 😊
Same Here
How are you doing? Im 12 weeks and I have just cried all day. These past 6 weeks have been miserable
@@taylormasters29 Hi Taylor, I’m 9 weeks and so sick with HG since 6 weeks. How are you now? Did it ever go away?
@@vcox6551 I am so sorry, I know it’s rough. Hang in there mama! Yes, mine finally started to subside when I hit around 16 weeks. Reglan (Metoclopramide) is the medicine that finally worked for me after trying 4 others. I am currently 29 weeks and it has started to come back but not as strong as I was in the beginning!
Remember if you need to go to the hospital to get fluids and IV meds DONT hesitate. That’s the only sort of relief I got in the beginning. Take care of you and your little babe, you WILL get through this! ❤️
My 1st pregnancy and this is exactly what I’m going through at 7 weeks. I wish this was spoken about more. Feeling so weak. Had IV last night in the ER and praying I feel better sooner rather than later. Thank you for sharing 💕
Same here i had in total of 4 ER visits. On my 3rd visit i was like you and then they hospitled for 3 days.
Thinking about you and hoping you’re getting the help you need.
Currently going through the same thing it's been 2 weeks dealing with hyperemesis 😓
Went through this both my pregnancies 🥺 wishing you feel better
Went to the ER for it tonight ): hope things are better for you!
My heart goes out to you and anyone ever suffering with HG. I had my 1st baby Nov 2020 and suffered with it myself. Trying to explain how you feel to someone who calls it 'bad morning sickness' breaks you a bit more. I have never felt so terrible in my whole life! Now looking at my 6 month old I don't know how I did it but I got there. I was still sick up until birth but it improved into my 3rd trimester. It won't feel like it now but your feel normal again ❤️
Thank you for this post because almost ending my second trimester and it’s still hell and I don’t know if I can make it some days.
From my wife
I Also have HG, I am 11 weeks AMD last 6 weeks hace been a nightmare, and IT is too frustraiting to struggle and continue worsening. People do not understand and give advices Like "just try to eat more, just try to Drink more water"... but I can't.
In hospital I were Medicated with ondansetron and I have been so worry about the risks of that Droug on my baby development.
I just hope to have the strenght to cope with this and maybe it could stop in 1 or 2 mire weeks.
All doctors need to watch this. I haven’y showered in days
I’m crying so much watching this… This is exactly what I’m going through. I felt like I’m going crazy as no one around me knows about this and told me this is just a morning sickness… Thank you so much for sharing your story…
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 ❤❤❤❤
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 😩😩
I feel you. For me it was bad because my OB-gyne was bot that listening to what I really feel. So I have to endure 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.
To all women with experience of this:
**May you all be heared out, understood and taken adequate

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.
I am happy for you that you have improved, as if you describe my condition exactly I lost 9 kilos of weight in only 3 weeks, I hate all food and all smells even my body odor, you gave me hope for improvement, I am very eager to know the gender of the baby but I am still in the tenth week, do you know?
accept my regards 🌹
Jeez😢 this is me right now 😢
I’m from Japan and I also deal with HG. I was hospitalized for 7 days total. I’m 12weeks and compare to 6-7weeks I’m getting little better, sometime I vomit 3 times a day, sometime none. But 24/7 feels like I have motion sickness. I hope one day soon I’ll get over this ! Hope all of ladies who are going through this will get better soon as well !
How was your delivery? Any after effects of Hg?
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.
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 !
This has to be thee most accurate and thorough expression of what I am experiencing. I’m crying because I felt like no one gets it, but this is it. I’m suffering daily but this just gave me hope. Thank you for sharing. I’m praying for healing each day, and trusting the process ❤
I am also going through same…. I just got out of hospital again for the second time
I feel weird commenting on this because I’m a guy, but my partner is 14 weeks pregnant now and she’s going through everything you said! At first I thought it was just really bad morning sickness until I looked into it and came across this. I’m scared as hell for my partner and especially for our baby. Thank you for sharing your story it has really brought light to me about the condition and how I can handle and comfort my missus!
Update: we went to the hospital and they gave her emexlon and ondansetron which helped her heaps! She’s slowly getting better and her mood swings have calmed down big time haha she’s now 5 months pregnant, and we’re waiting for our gender reveal🙏
Congratulations
Congrats. How did her pregnancy end up being like ?
@@CMHMom23 we are now at home with our beautiful daughter! Her pregnancy was a roller coaster ride but towards her last trimester her pain went away and she was eating pretty much anything.
@@hermanmala1745 that’s great! Congrats on the new baby
I'm 23 weeks preggo 1st baby. HG since 6th week. Hospitalised several times. Lost 22lbs. On Zofran and Doxylamine combined that helps me drink lil bit of water. I can barely keep any food down. I'm bed ridden. While others are glowing, doing yoga and taking prenatals, I'm pinned to bed, can't bath, trying to make it one day a time. 17 more weeks to go and I feel like giving up most times. 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. Metallic mouth all day long!
Edit : would like to know from others moms with HG on their delivery experiences. I don't think I ll have the strength to push.
My heart goes out to you. I was sick until 20 weeks with my first baby and then sick the whole time with my second baby, but it was controllable with zofran and doxylamine. Now with my third baby and 13 weeks pregnant life is hellish. Retching and vomiting. Feeling hopeless and wanting to give up but afraid of what it means to "give up"
@@mamakoko4570 Hang in there mama. More power to you ❤️ I feel you. Sincerely praying you get through this and the baby can help you forget this nightmare
You made my wife's day watching this, a she suffered with HG
You hit the nail on the head. This is my first and last pregnancy. I’m 11 weeks and miserable. I don’t want to terminate but I can’t do this anymore
Hang in there ladies. A lot of love and power to u. I gave birth to my boy and he s 3 months old already. My Hyperemesis vanished the very second he came out. I ve been revenge eating since then. Please hangin there. It ll be over in no time. I would also suggest u to take your Prenatal vitamins as u aren't eating anything else.
Sobbing while watching this, going through this hell again and contemplating terminating because I went through HG from week 1 until labour with my daughter a mere 2 years ago. I was just discharged from a 6 day hospital stay. They put me on Zofran (ondansentron) which helps a bit but getting a doctor to prescribe It to me after hospital has been hell on earth. Sending love to all women going through this.
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.
This is my worst nightmare as I have the same phobia
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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!
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.
I’m happy to have finally come across an instance of HG improving. I’ve been searching through TH-cam looking for hope that I’ll get better so thank you! I was diagnosed with HG at 7 weeks and now at 10 weeks, it’s suddenly improving. I hope I’m one of the lucky ones but of course I worry it may come back. I’m glad you were able to get better 🙏
So glad your HG is improving! ❤️

Hi, can you help to how to face it, and which food is best for energy at that time. We take medicines as well continually but feel very bad
@@ஒருபேனாவின்பயணம் see if green apples help
I’m 10 weeks with my second baby. I don’t remember feeling this awful everyday. Hopefully this ends soon! Praying for all of you who are still pregnant and going through it ❤
Hello. I’m also 10 weeks with my second and the nausea is just getting worse for me as well🤒
Try vitamin B complex tablets.
Mine started at 6 weeks ,and I could just remember how bad it was with my previous baby and cried praying I just want to have fun this time around without all that pain.
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.
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.
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.
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❤
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.
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 ❤️
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! ❤️
Stay strong mom! I’m going through this how at 7 weeks.
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.
Hg sucks! How are you feeling now? Hope you are better!
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 :)
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.
I appreciate your transparency. I feel like most moms don't want to admit the great lengths we want to go to in order to avoid this living hell all over again. I don't blame you one bit. This current pregnancy will be my last one aswell for this very reason.
I terminated at 9 weeks due to HG. Every single month, I have this horrible anxiety that my period isn’t going to show. Every time I get nauseous, I start hyperventilating. The idea of going through that again is absolutely terrifying. My husband is getting a vasectomy soon, no kids for us.
@@DanielleTanner-b8xwhy don't u get it, maybe he can have them somewhere else
Every one’s body is different you made a good decision! Staying on medication also risks the baby health.
Hello Ysis, what a wonderful video on bringing up awareness on Hyperemesis. We are a specialist maternity hospital originating from Singapore and Beijing, and we specialize in the effective diagnosis and treatment of HG. We have effectively treated hundreds of patients with this dreadful condition that plagues pregnant women, with their symptoms alleviating overnight. We are currently working very hard to bring our treatment to all women worldwide, especially in the Western World ❤️
Pease I would like to hear more about the treatment.
Please what the treatment
What the treatment please .
Yes I need the treatment as well
Is it available?
Thank you for sharing this video. Glad to see more women talking about this (but not really at the same time). This sickness is truly a monster! I had it so bad I couldn't even drink water. I pray one day there will be a cure or even a prevention for this sickness ❤️
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😔
😢hang in there mama. right there with you!!
Grateful for this post. It feels good that there are others to understand what you go through.Im still traumatized from my first pregnancy where I had severe HG. It took 10 yrs to gather my courage to try for second child. Now I am 7 weeks with second pregnancy, here is HG again. I am just hoping to take one day at a time and get through this.
Thank you for sharing this video! I suffered from HG and had to be admitted to hospital for fluids, and you are so right, you really have to be your own advocate and trust yourself when speaking out that what you're going through is not normal morning sickness - so helpful to see also other comments of people going through this, makes you feel less alone!
Thank you for sharing! I had no clue this was a thing. I would complain about being so ill and people would just say it’s just morning sickness it will pass! This is my first pregnancy, found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks and weighed 215lbs. I’m now 14 weeks and weigh 189 lbs. I cry every night, I’m extremely weak and just don’t have the energy or strength to do anything!💔🥺😭
I’m so emotional watching this, I felt alone when you’re constantly telling people no you don’t understand, I’m really sick I can barely move. Thank you for sharing this, I’m currently 9 weeks and 4 days pregnant and man oh man I feel your story. Thankful for this upload, God bless you ♥️♥️
Are u still going thru this? I'm 8 weeks and I'm on bed rest
Thank you for posting. I’m going through this HELL and my poor kids don’t understand. Crying throughout this video.
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
Although my children are now 14,12 and 6 I still remember how awful HG was for me. I’m sure I actually have some PTSD as a result of how my HG was treated and how long it took to get under control. I was honestly at such a low, especially during my 1st and 2nd pregnancies. I would love to have another baby but the thought of going through this again just fills me with utter dread.
In tears immediately watching this.. On my second pregnancy, my all day sickness has gotten so bad, so hard to do this everyday of my life I am the thinnest I’ve been in years and can’t hold anything down, and everyone around me says ginger, crackers, and water 😭😭😭
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.
This was really reassuring. I'm mentally exhausted and feeling like I'm pushing myself everyday to just function. My doc put me on Ondansetron as soon as I was diagnosed from the hospital.
I'm so sorry you went through this! I'm going through it myself for the last 5 weeks. I'm blessed enough to have IV care around the clock at home. It costs an arm and a leg but it keeps me alive. It's such a horrendous experience!!!
Pregnant with twins right now, currently 15 weeks pregnant. I have HG 😔 it’s awful, thank you for sharing your story. 💕
I'm pregnant with twins right now too, it's the 15th week... I have HG aswell. So I feel with you over here in Germany.
Try lemon water and get zofran meds this helped me during my twin pregnancy
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.
I had this too and that hypersalivation oh my god i never ever ever want to go through that again
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.
@@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!
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. 🥺😭
@@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.
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
I am currently 12 weeks and 5 days, I’ve been suffering since week 6. Hospitalized for 4 days in my 9th week. I get a relief every time I watch this video hoping that I get a relief in week 13 or 14. I see so many comments with the same issues and I hope that everyone gets better soon because this is so tough! Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy 🙏🏼
Hi, I am 8 weeks 5 days and I can’t keep down any food or drink for last 2 weeks. I consider going to ER but I have never been in ER. I don’t know how to explain them what I am going through. Did you go to ER?
hey hun yes I did go to the ER. I go anytime I feel dehydrated. Tell them you’re suffering from HG and you need some IV fluids.
@@latyanakinlock5072 ok, thank you!
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.
My wife is going through the same right now, 7th week she has been admitted in the hospital twice in a week. I pray God will strengthen her through this time its our first it feels like we are gonna put a full stop after this.
I have HG. Have been on disability without pay since 11weeks. It’s so hard financially. I am now 32 weeks. In and out of hospital. My job just cancelled my health insurance because I can’t afford it. I wish that there was more help for women like us. I can’t even afford my bills. I feel like such a bad mom because I can’t work and give my child what it needs. And I feel like I’m such a bad mom because I can’t afford my bills and everything is getting taken away. Also watch out for your teeth during this time. I lost a tooth because of HG. Not only did I loss 40 lbs but losing teeth. This is so hard.
Pregnancy Medicaid
I'm having HG (currently 23 weeks first pregnancy and taking zofran since week 12) and I was wondering why no one really talks about it... Thankfully zofran works for me but it's still making me so depressed and I really don't wanna be pregnant ever again and it makes me so sad... Thank you for doing this video, it just makes me feel less alone.
Edit: my doctor never mentioned the lip study 😐
It’s a really misunderstood illness. So glad you got the right treatment for you ❤️
Right there with you girl. It’s tough but many women give me hope❤️
Same here. This is my first child and I told my husband this will be our last. There is no way I could go through this a second time. And my doctor never mentioned the lip study to me either 😞
@@2008kaila stay strong ❤️❤️❤️ one day at a time. I just have 1 month left and can't wait! Hopefully 3 weeks.
I’m 19th week pregnant..and taking zofran since 10th week.it really works for me.
I’m going through this now. I’m 6 weeks and 3 days. I feel like no one is understanding me every time I try to explain what I’m going through. I’m literally struggling so much.
I just made 7 weeks today and same!
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!!
Watching this while crying so hard. Currently in my 10weeks and feel so helpless with this HG. My life is like jn hell right now.
How are you doing now ?
Same!!
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. 😢
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. 💖
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for sharing. Currently 10 weeks and I feel so weak. I just hope all of us and our babies feel better. God bless you all, it's really horrible
Wow - you've been through a very difficult patch. Glad to see things are more normal now, and hope all goes smoothly.
Thank you! It's definitely made me more appreciative of this pregnancy :)
Was diagnosed with Hg today and I've been living in hell since 5 weeks I'm 11 weeks now! It's my 4th child and ive never had HG before I'm miserable and enjoyed watching your video even if the light hurts my eyes! Ugh water I miss water so much. Thanks for your words of motivation. It means alot. # NOT ALONE
How are you feeling now? Did your HG calm down for you? I'm only 6 weeks and feel unbelievably ill 🤢
Currently 7 weeks pregnant with my first child and I have HG and my mind is thinking awful things I shouldn’t be thinking. I HOPE IT GETS BETTER FAST.
Usually it’s get better a little bit from 11 weeks.. but 7-9 are the hardest weeks.
I'm at 15 weeks. My doctor prescribed zofran and phenergan, neither of which are helping. The ER refused to do anything. They wouldn't do an IV, instead they prescribed Reglan and told me to eat ice chips at home to replenish fluids. A different doctor ordered weekly IV fluids 3 weeks ago and they still have not approved the referral. My fiance is in the military and currently in a different state and i had to leave my job because they werent willing to work with me in any way. My doctor still keeps calling it morning sickness, I've thrown up 3 times today from taking sips of gatorade. This is one of the scariest experiences of my life.
This makes me so sad IV is the only thing that keeps me a float!! You need IV fluids !!
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.
Omg, I’m praying you recover rapidly and completely.
It sounded horrendous and hellish! 😭 Hugs!
It feels so good to hear you’re better.
Everything will be smooth and everyone will be safe from now.
Thank you so much! :)
@@YsisLorenna will this impact the babys size?
@@cloudedcolour5329 usually not. In the first trimester the babies feed heavily off the placenta, so even if mom's not eating hardly anything the babies are well fed. This is also a huge factor why mothers feel so drained in this trimester.
I'm so glad I came across your video I am so pleased your feeling better. I had HG with my pregnancy and HONESTLY it is the WORSE thing I EVER experienced. It did ease off on the 2nd trimester and I was on my knees thinking god it was getting better. I definitely 100% felt that no one understood what I was going through and people thought I was exaggerating I felt so alone so low I actually remember feeling that I wanted to die. I got attmitted to hospital few times would of been more if like you said the ketones didnt show I was dehydrated enough. I'm currently trying for baby number 2 and I'm absolutely petrified it happening again because I have a son to look after this time around . X
How are you doing?
We MC in January and we’re going to try again but like you I’m sooooo petrified of the nausea and possible vomiting it’s the reason it’s keep me from
being excited.
Your story sounds exactly like mine. I was bed bound for two months and it’s hard because you feel totally robbed of the enjoyment of pregnancy that other women get. It put me off having no. 2 for years, but at this moment, we are two months away from going through ivf for the second time to have our second. It’s taken me 4 years to build up the courage to go through this again. I’m mentally preparing myself for what’s ahead 🙈 and just reminding myself that it’s 9 months of hell, for a lifetime of love ❤ Thank you so much for sharing your journey. No one ever gets this illness, unless they’ve lived the relentlessness of HG 😩
Hyperemesis + constipation - hell of my life
I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. My wife is going through it right now and is almost 12 weeks. As I’m typing this she’s at the hospital and will hopefully get some fluids. She had it with our first baby and unfortunately had it the whole pregnancy but it did get better towards the end. I’m hoping this pregnancy goes as your did where she gets better towards the end of it. Thanks for sharing your story.
Did it get better?🤞🏼
@@ramk5897 thanks for asking, no she didn’t really get better. Towards the last month they told her she had preeclampsia and she had to be hospitalized for almost 2 weeks. They were going to have her deliver at 34 weeks, but she improved while at the hospital and they ended up inducing her at 37 weeks. To add to the fun of her pregnancy there were no delivery rooms available when they induced her (she went into labor super fast) and she had to deliver without an epidural. She was in excruciating pain and I felt so bad for her. However, we are thankful to say that the baby was ok and he is now just over 3 months old and my wife is pretty much fully recovered. I hope no one has to go through what we did.
Going through this right now at 7 weeks…I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Even when I’m not puking, I’m nauseous all day everyday. I have become bed bound because I lack the energy to do anything at all. I’ve been put on several different medications and none seem to help. All I can do is hope it goes away in the second trimester
Same here sis. I’m dying
I had this too. It’s not spoken about enough!
Have hg since week 4, now week 12. Zofran and Phenergan plus fluids have saved my life so far. I wish hg was more talked about and researched
Im 11 weeks pregnant and I’ve been experiencing this since 5-6 weeks it’s literally the worst this is my first pregnancy and I feel so hopeless they prescribed me vitamin b6 and zofran but I can’t even manage to keep them down in my stomach Im super super nauseas I literally pray that this goes by very quick and that I start to feel better for all the mommy’s who are currently going through this I know how hard it is but keep pushing ❤️ this is gonna be all worth it at the end ❤️
Ay what week did it go away?
@@Anakaren.15 around 18-20 weeks my nausea and vomiting went away
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
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.
I experienced this with my first pregnancy and everyone thought I was carrying a girl, Even my doctor said so based on the judgment that it only happens to women carrying a baby girl. Though it stopped when I clocked 4 months (2nd trimester). I later had a baby boy to everyone's surprise
That’s exactly what I’m going through at the moment. Everyone says because of my HG I’m having a girl. Just hit 12 weeks
@@AmericaRiley …lol very funny prediction 🤣🤣 I had HG on my first child & it’s a boy😂
I am in your shoes now. I can't sip a bottle of water with enjoyment. i am jealous of it. I am not able to wash my hair, walk outside. I missed my past days. I wish it passed so quick😷😷
I’m feeling the exact same way 🙁 it’s hard to shower, I can’t even drink water.
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 💔
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing your story, I suffered in silence during my 1st pregnancy because I had no idea what was happening. I missed so much work that I was let go, I was made to feel like it was just morning sickness & I couldn’t handle it.
It wasn’t until my 2nd pregnancy that I was diagnosed with HG, it was so debilitating & really affected my quality of life. I pray everyday my body has mercy on me my 3rd pregnancy.
First time being pregnant I am 9weeks & this is my exact experience i appreciate you so much because I felt alone and didn’t know if it was just me I am trying my best to pull through this thankful to have women like you that are willing to speak on this ❤
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 🙏
Holy crap I have all the exact symptoms as you. This is my 3rd pregnancy as well. It’s so hard physically and mentally, I feel a little less alone, thank you.
Crying watching this I feel so alone and in that dark hole 😢
Be strong u not alone
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 ! 🙏❤
Thank you so much for this video. I was in a Cley dark place from week 5. 3rd pregnancy and 3rd HG but 1st 2 pregnancies 9 and 7 years ago HG was completed dismisses and I don't know how I made it. Watching your video after researching my symptoms I advocated for myself even in my weakest and got better treatment by health professionals . Was diagnosed with hg and that was a relief. I am 20 weeks now and is much better but still on few medicines
I’m almost 12 weeks pregnant and still battling with HG it started since 6 weeks pregnant, I don’t wish this sickness on my worse enemy pfff …!!!! Lord knows how hard it can be
Hello, I’m currently 10 weeks and 5 days and I’m currently going through EVERYTHING that you’ve mentioned including feeling like a mental burden on doctors and my husband. My doctor increased my Zofran/Ondansetron from 1 (4mg) every 6hrs to 1 (8mg) and alternate to 1 (25mg) of Promethazine every 2hrs. I’m petrified of taking the medications so frequently but I feel and look terrible! My favorite drink is WATER but I can’t have it. Every smell bothers me from hand soaps, dish soaps, perfumes, colognes, food, pretty much anything except air. I too spend my days in our bedroom away from the world. There were times that I felt that my baby hated me 🥺. I enjoyed your video because you understand. I too plan to advocate for future moms who may have to experience this and will continue to research HG and ways to improve treatment for it. Thank You so much…and yes I literally cried watching you drink your water 😭. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to join you with a tall ice cold glass of water!!! ❤️❤️
I’m right about 10-10.5 months right now. Are you feeling better as your first trimester is ending ?
@@SonyaOutThere I’m now 15 weeks and one day as of yesterday. I was placed on home care where I receive Zofran through an infusion pump in my stomach and IV Fluids in my arm a few weeks ago. I had lost over 30lbs and I was starting to loose muscle mass as well due to my inability to eat or drink. I recently started eating small portions of solid food however I mostly eat freeze pops and I can drink cranberry juice (preferably frozen) without feeling nauseous, dry heaving, or vomiting. Being diagnosed with Hyperemisis and my experience has been extremely difficult. I’ve been unable to work and I’m still limited to what I can do around the house. I’m also a newlywed so I feel like a horrible wife right now. My doctor said things should start to simmer down within a few weeks and I’m praying that it does so that I can finally find enjoyment in my first pregnancy. I do know that I don’t want to have any more children as this has been a traumatizing experience. Sending lots of love and prayers to all the moms who are experiencing this as well ❤️🙏🏾

Thank you. I'm pregnant with my 2nd right now, but I do feel like my second pregnancy has been harder than my first where I only had about 3 weeks of not feeling well as opposed to almost 2 months here.
I'm on Zofran too, but I take the tablet orally daily. I guess I don't have it as bad as some people.
I'm waiting to feel better soon as I'm 12 weeks and my first trimester is coming to end.
God bless and all the best.
M 10 weeks now...whtever u said here is totally reflecting me m nauseous whole day n m throwing up untill nothing is left, m tired even if i take rest whole day n whole night. .. m already down with 3gms of haemoglobin n m scared wht if it keeps on reducing....sometimes i feel like how will i keep continue these whole nine month.
I was feeling so sick all throughout my pregnancy. Although, I was never diagnosed I was suffering so much. From 5 weeks onwards it kept getting worse. I bought it up to my doctor who was pretty dismissive. People kept saying it was going to get better second trimester, but at that point I was still running to the restroom 6x times a day. I remember the worst day was 15 times a day. I literally didn't sleep and was in the restroom all night. People kept saying to eat crackers or plain foods, but I couldn't stomach anything. A lot of people just didn't get it and I felt extremely alone. Just typing this up brings back a lot of memories. If you are suffering right now, you are not alone. Stay strong!
My first pregnancy I couldn’t eat anything and my mouth tasted of metal. It was demoralizing. I started counting my throw up and made it to 24 one day-which made me oddly proud because I had to be proud of something. Lol. Had to go to ER twice and could not move. I couldn’t even look at screens. 3rd time I was able to go to urgent care thank God for that hospital bill being better.
Second pregnancy is better but I’m currently confined to room with filters at week 14. Thanks for giving room for people to vent.
I’m so pissed at this point. It’s a sign of terrible care that we have not thoroughly researched this by now.
What am I grateful for? A really good husband! And a couple of people praying. It means the world to have a good partner.
