Figured I would ask those of you that suffered in your pregnancy or any nurses that might know...
I haven't been able to bring myself to research this too thoroughly, but I am wondering about the likelihood of having it again with another pregnancy. And, I guess, how likely?
Thanks, I think...

Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

Pretty much what I was afraid of. I guess at least if we do decide to try again, I still have my IV pole from the last pregnancy.
ugh.
Nothing scientific here, but I had a good friend who had it worse the 2nd time around. Not sure this matters, but her 2nd child had a different father then the first.
Sorry....I'm sure not what you want to hear...
Ha ha.... I want to hear that the next go around I will be a happy, glowing beautiful pregnant person that can eat whatever she wants and go on baby moons, shop, and go to work like a normal person and not be the heaving mess that lost 20 pounds in her first trimester, could eat 5 things her entire pregnancy, sported a sexy zofran pump and IV pole while missing work and being confined to the hospital or my home and throwing up until the very moment I gave birth ( in the delivery room!)
But.... I needed to hear the truth! We are really starting to think about cycling again and I really do need to think about what my last pregnancy was like and what a future one might be like, because now it will impact D as well.
A lot to think about.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but... I had it again the second time. It was probably just as severe as the first time and lasted just as long (maybe a week or 2 longer). However, I think I was able to cope a little better the second time around. Not that I didnt feel miserable but I learned from the last time. There are some tricks, things to avoid, and it wont last forever (although looking at 4 months of vomiting all day, every day, seems like forever).
All that said, we wont be having a third...
Good luck!

They never diagnosed me with hyperemesis, but I lost a good amount of weight till week 28 in my first pregnancy with Ella.
It happened again with the twins where I didn't stop throwing up till the day I gave birth:(
I'm sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear:(
I threw up one more time right after I delivered and then it was like I was a new person. It was very, very strange. lol
This, only with my cousin. She was hospitalized several times with her first, and not at all with her second. She still felt like crap, but I got the impression that the second was more like morning sickness than HG
