Did you HG ever ease up?

duejan16xx · September 2015

Hi ladies, I'm a HG sufferer & I'm just wondering did it ever ease up for anyone? I had this on my first pregnancy until the day I have birth. Now I'm into my 23rd week and I have extremely bad days. Yesterday and today being two of those days, bad to the point where I can't keep my eyes open or keep fluids down. I do have the odd good day where I can't eat (from a very limited amount of things that's don't turn my stomach).

Has anyone gotten slightly better with time? I'm trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know myself it will be worth every bad day when I have my baby in my arms. I don't blame the baby at all I realise this is how my body behaves during pregnancy and maybe I should be used to it by now. Thanks girls xxxxx

HG sufferer here. I don't believe mine is as severe as yours! I started about 5.5w, had a zofran pump placed at 10w and now at 22w I am transitioning back to oral zofran. It started easing up about 17w, and as long as I have some meds in my system I am pretty much normal with only twinges of nausea.
In my search online about HG, I read a blog from HG sufferer with all three of her pregnancies, each the severe sickness lasted throughout pregnancy.
If it is still this bad at 23w- is there anything your doctor will do for you to help?

Hi there! This is my 3rd HG pregnancy (although my 2nd was an early loss). How long HG last is up to the person. Both my mom and aunt had HG will all their pregnancies and they were both done with HG around 13 weeks. But with my first I went to 25 weeks, we lost our 2nd at 6 weeks (but I had been sick pretty much since conception... weird, I know) and with this pregnancy, I just started feeling better at 20 weeks and I'm currently 22 weeks.

Have you gone in for fluids? I know being admitted and receiving fluids for a week helped my mom get over the HG sooner. I have gotten fluids twice this pregnancy, but just in the ER because I haven't been nearly as sick. But I know with my loss, my midwife was going to put me on IV fluids continuously at home because I had lost almost 20 lbs. And I was feeling the way you are now. I would really recommend getting fluids if you can!

Unfortunately my doctor will not give me anything to take. I have however got a numerous amount of stemitil shots! Which helped me for a few days and then bang back to this again. I feel so deflated. I have good days and then really horrendous days. I was 8 stone 9 when I found out I was pregnant and went to a little under 8 stone within a few weeks. Now I am back to my original weight thanks to my good days. I'm 23 weeks and 2 days and things just don't seem to be getting any easier. I have been admitted to the early pregnancy unit for fluids. 4-5 bags at every stay. at this stage I feel like I need a babysitter & without my mam I'd be totally lost. She has been a god send to me and my daughter. Thank you for your reply ladies I really appreciate them. P.S sorry for the late reply I've been vomiting non stop since posting this

Mine got much better around 21 weeks, but I still have bad mornings. The past couple of days I've had a bad cold and it has come back with a vengeance, but that supposedly is just cause I'm sick too. My mom's went away around 20-21 weeks and then came back swinging for the third trimester, so I'm assuming that's what will happen with me. she had five pregnancies, all with HG.

Wow your mam is amazing to have done this five times. This is my second time and I can't ever think about putting my body through this again. It's just hard to know how things are going to go day to day. I could wake up fine and all of a sudden be struck down. At least we are halfway there and we aren't at the beginning stages anymore xx
