Thank you to Andy for letting me help moderate this forum! Anxiety and depression during pregnancy and post partum is something I know all too well! I wanted to be a part of this forum to lend any support and advice I can to those of you suffering from anxiety and depression during HG. This is especially strange for me b/c not only have I survived it once (by the skin on my teeth), but I am CURRENTLY in the midst of it right now!
I had HG with my 1st pregnancy and SEVERE PPD. My son is now 4, going to be 5 on June 11th. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant with my 2nd, due August 28th. I have had NO relief from HG so far. Still on Zofran, still nauseas 24/7 and still vomiting. The sad thing is that my depression about the HG has gotten me to the point of praying that my baby would come early (THIS early!) so that the HG would end. I know I am horrible to say that, but I'm just being honest. I long to feel "normal" and "functional" again.
We just moved from IL to AR at the beginning of May. The reason for this move is HG. I lost my job as a physical therapist due to being off work too long (past limitations of FMLA) with HG. Also, we had no family there and just couldn't do it anymore without help. Both mine and my husband's parents live here in AR, so we get much more help. Unfortunately, my hubby's new job has some kind of glitch in the insurance, and first they wouldn't pay for more than 12 Zofran, and now our benefits were "kicked out" of the system for some unknown reason, saying we have no insurance. Hubby contacted personnell at his work, and they said they should have it fixed "by the end of next week". Guess what... I run out of Zofran TOMORROW! I am freaking out here!
Gee, Andy, I think that's more than you wanted, huh? lol
Anyway, welcome to this forum to all the HGers and HG supporters. You can see you have a nut as your host!
