Any others with HG?
pumizel

After a few ER visits to get iv fluids I was told I either got a PICC line for home iv therapy and TPN or got admitted. I chose to get the PICC line as I have 3 babies at home. I haven't found any relief yet. I puke upwards of 40 times a day and have lost 20 pounds. Come Tuesday we will find out if even after a week of home treatment if I need to be admitted anyways. I'm miserable. IV zofran, reglan, phenergan every 8 and 2 at night, lactated ringers over 8 hours and the TPN. So far the only thing I like is I never have to be poked again. Other than that I hate HG and I hate being pregnant. I don't even feel pregnant I feel like I am dying. Maybe once the baby is bigger and kicking or when/if I get a belly I will feel a little better but right now I hate life. I know I'm not the only one, and I hate being so depressed. Who else has HG and how are you handling it?

Big hugs and just remember it will end eventually!!!
I'm so sorry you guys. HG is the probably the worst thing I ever experienced. I hope it clears up for all of you at 16 weeks. For me it was more like 28 weeks both times. It's do hard on your body but it's do much worse on your mind. You are guilty because you hate your pregnancy (and that's ok, you don't hate your baby), you may be depressed, you can't see this ever ending. It's so terrible. I cry at every single late Middleton article I see. A little for her but 90% for me. I have wicked PTSD from my first two pregnancies.
I'm just being treated for NVP this time and have only lost 10 pounds. It's like an amazing vacation compared to HG.
Have you tried diclegis with zofran? I swear it's what is keeping my NVP at NVP and not HG. If I skip a diclegis in face down in the floor of the bathroom starting at 3 am until bedtime.
Find what you can manage and cling to it for dear life. Even if it's diet coke. I wish you all speedy recoveries, friends and family who atleast kind of get it, and no lasting effects.
Edit: I'd also like to add it sounds like your doctor is confusing NVP with HG. MS ans NVP (nausea and vomiting in pregnancy) do clear up around 16 weeks). HG isn't MS. For many it clears up at the end of first tri but for many it doesn't. HG is uncommon but it's not uncommon for HG, especially severe HG, to last until mid pregnancy or beyond. It's less common for it to last an entire pregnancy but it can last for up until THREE MONTHS post delivery. I couldn't eat chicken until my baby was 4 months old. Anyway my point is HOPE for 16 weeks but don't cling to it. You face enough depressing factors daily you don't need to compound it and frankly, assuring you it clears up by 16 weeks was irresponsibly becuase it's not necessarily true. I hate that some drs think HG = severe morning sickness. We know what causes MS. it makes me livid. they are doctors. You have an HG patient and you don't know about HG (1% of patients isnt a lot of people) educate yourself. No on knows what causes HG and therefore have no clue when or why it clears up when it does.
Sorry. End tangent.
