After some lingering in the first tri folder and a downer of a week, I think I am in much need of a buddy. :) My name is Megan, I am an American in Melbourne, Australia. I'm 11 weeks along in my second pregnancy (I have a two year old daughter). I'm living in Australia while my husband works on his MBA here. And HG struck with this one about 4 or 5 weeks ago and decided to really peak about three days ago.

Soooo glad I found this website. The info and support is tremendous and much appreciated during this difficult time. Thanks so much!!!

Thanks, Pamela. My profile e-mail address is actually not correct (I've tried to update but keep getting an error message). I'll PM you with the correct e-mail address.

Thanks so much!

Looking for a buddy

Postby Fern » Mar 13, 2007 3:38 pm

Hi there, thank you for setting this up! I'm in Oregon, I'm 9 weeks 5 days pg, and I'm totally miserable. I've been in bed for 2-1/2 weeks now, and vary between being just utterly nauseated and unable to function, and being unable to keep anything down, even water. I've had 5 rounds of IV fluids, and today my midwife suggested getting IV Zofran in a few days if I don't improve. This just sucks. I'm so scared it's going to last the whole pregnancy! I don't know what to do. Would love to have some support.

here again - looking for a buddy

Postby Clara » Mar 19, 2007 5:19 am

Hello

I am back to the site - 3rd HG pregnancy. EDD 28th November 2007 so only just starting on the journey. So far no HG but am expecting the worse (well what I remember of it anyway!). I am in the UK near London and to be more specific the South West of London so Richmond, Twickenham, Teddington, Kingston area... a buddy would be lovely!

bye for now
Clara

PS the site has really moved on since December 2003 when I was last here! Congratulations on all the hard work it looks amazing!

Fern, it was nice to hear from you. And Clara--CONGRATULATIONS! I'm thrilled for you. I'll pass along your request to Louise so you can have things lined up quickly. Same for you, Krystal - I'll be in touch about a buddy soon. So many new babies coming along here now. :)

I'd like to be a buddy for someone newly pregnant in Kentucky w/hyperemesis. I'm 34 weeks along and my symptoms have toned down remarkably.

I'm 19 and a college student. I found out I was pregnant Aug 31 and started having symptoms a few weeks later. I dropped from 120 pounds to 108 in three weeks. I couldn't even hold down water. I was throwing up at least ten times a day, most days at least 15. It was miserable. I was IV'd on several occasions for dehydration and ended up dropping out of school late October, when I was 12 weeks pregnant.

My symptoms started to taper off at around 22 weeks, but I still get bouts of nausea, but not nearly as bad. I've gained the weight back, thanks to a nutritionist at my college telling me to leave and also treating me early.

I've been there, done that... and would love to be a buddy for someone going through it. :)

Pamela,

Thanks for doing this for us. I emailed you the pertinant info. It's just amazing to me to see how many people are going through the same thing as me. I have been feeling so alone lately, and this forum is just what the dr ordered. Well, the nurse. :) She was the one who pointed me here.

Thank you,

Molly

I would love a buddy

Postby Kev's_girl » Apr 23, 2007 6:21 am

Hi, I'm Amber, I live in Ohio and I have HG. (This sounds like an introduction at an AA meeting, lol). I am 19 weeks pregnant, and married to my best friend Kevin. We are expecting a boy in September. I'm an RN in an ER, but am currently off work due to my symptoms, which is frustrating, because I'm bored out of my mind when I don't have my head in the toilet. So, I could use a distraction to help pass the time.
