hyperemesis gravidarum HG

Well it's official I have hyperemesis gravidarum, often incorrectly referred to as 'morning sickness'.

The 9th Jan Stu took me back to hospital this time I actually thought I was going to die, the pain from the hunger hurts so much especially when my tummy rumbled.

I returned home on15th and on 16th I dragged myself out of bed to see the midwife, I've taken to not wearing makeup and scraping my hair back in a pony tail. Very glamorous.
I was weighed by the dr and have lost over a stone and a half in just three weeks! I look shocking.

28th Jan - feeling really down being sick all day and night with constant nausea. I'm sick of seeing the same four walls

3 February- a cold bug has hit the family which has made me even worse, I feel so bad for Stu as he can't be ill he needs to look after the kids and me.

4th Feb - back in hospital on the IV drip and anti sickness injections. I am so upset that stu brought me to the hospital but he was right to do it, I just hate being there all alone and in pain.

We got to have another scan today- when stu saw the baby on the screen he welled up, 'it's an actual baby now' he said :-) 

Towards the middle of the month the sickness has eased and been under control with tablets. The nausea is still constantly there but I can cope with that.
