I'm Feeling Like Giving Up
When do the sickness go away for people who been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum.
I don't blame you for feeling like you want to give up. It is so hard to be ill day after day. I think you may regret it if you give up but I could see where someone would give up. Mine eased up middle of 2nd trimester but came back less severely now during late 3rd. I'm so close now but I have anxiety. This will be my last child--I can't go through it again and I know some moms have it way worse than me with IVs monthly or more, zofran constipation the entire pregnancy, etc. You could take a look at helpher.org. Good luck mama. I feel for you. I was ill with my first preg but this second time is almost unbearable. There's also a good blog--knocked up and knocked over. Honestly acupuncture did help me during first trimester but most insurance won't cover and you have to go 2-3 x/week to get max relief. I've also found rice water helps, Rice Krispie treats, and rice chex. Just keep trying anything that might stay down and if you're vomiting every hour or more you need to call the doc & probably get an IV.
Thank you everyone for your inspiring words they truly touch my heart. And I seen a ultrasound of my baby moving in was in tears but it's like the sickness is tearing me apart. I'm trying to fight... I don't want to give up.
Mine didnt go away until i was 18 weeks...i couldnt eat nd mostly everything i drink id throw up especially water..im now 24 weeks..i wanted to give up as well,i was miserable...most likely it will ease up for u second trimester
Pregnancy is hard but you can do it. Im so glad i stuck it out cause now i get to meet my little girl soon. It is miserable i know. Hang in there
Five months, around 20-24 weeks is when mine calmed down. Or i should say the zofran started to work. I still take meds for it everyday at 37 weeks but it is wayyyy waaayyy better and rare now for me to throw up. Still get nausea spells but nothing like before and i was like you. Non-stop, even had to be hospitalized twice due to dehydration and unable to keep anything down. Pref
I suffered from hg Also. Nothing worked For me, I was 120 pounds before Becoming pregnant, during The first trimester I could not eat Or drink anything, I lost 21 pounds. I'm now 31 weeks and only weigh 123 pounds At my last appointment. I know how hard It Is and It feels Like it'll Never end. In my second trimester It eased up, only a little Bit. And now That I am in my third trimester It's coming back alot more. I'm Never comfortable and I Never feel good. It's hard to sleep, eat, clean. I know What I'm saying doesn't help But It's The truth. But What I can Tell You Is That the fight through It Is Well worth It. Watching your tummy grow, feeling The baby move All around and kicking... It's So amazing. And before you know It You will have your baby and The sickness will be gone! And At That point you will feel So happy That You went through All of That to have your baby in your arms. Drinking powerade helps me alot. Even If You puke It right back up... Just drink alot Of fluids as much as u can.
Omg so glad to see your post I'm going through the same thing & felt so bad for wanting to give up. Because I'm not holding anything down I'm so weak & depressed I don't even wanna get out of bed haven't been out of my house in a couple days don't wanna go anywhere cause I'm always getting. I'm so over it as well!!!!!! Know ur not the only one
It did not go away till around 28 weeks for me I'm 32 now and still have bad days
I have hyperemesis for the 3rd time I have just bought some seabands and they have stopped me throwing up worth a try if your really suffering x
Ugh it's so miserable. I mean i tried the medicine it don't work for me. The eat small meals and slower don't work. I can't even keep down water. It is really driving me insane. I seen my baby on the ultrasound about a week ago and was in shock an tears, but i'm so sick it's like got me debating do I want to fight through it or should give up.
