I would love to have a buddy to help me through this pregnancy. Ive been really struggling and it seems like no one understands! I live in Colorado Springs, CO and have a daughter. So if I could possibly get a buddy who has gone through this with a toddler that would be great!
This seems like a great site!!

If a buddy is available in New York, we are moving in two weeks to the West Point area and I could really use some support (and if you have experiance with the military that would be a huge bonus).
Thank you

[sarahgee]

I would greatly appreciate a buddy I saw that there was a Colorado Springs person... I'm in Pueblo so not too far!

Hey there!

I'm 5 weeks pregnant (my second pregnancy - 1st was last year and didn't get past 3 months). I suffered severe HG last time and started experiencing nausea pretty much right after conception this time. Right now Zofran is keeping it at bay, but I would love to be paired with a buddy to help get me through the next 9 months. I'm in Ontario, Canada - anyone out there want an HG buddy?

[Junana]

Hi there

I would love a buddy for encouraging on TTC. Not going to try yet, maybe next year unless my work changes or anything like that.

Until then I can probably be a buddy for someone else going thru HG

I'm living in Norway.

[SweetGrace]

OK... I put this in the right place now, I hope!

Hi there! I would love to have someone to talk to in my area or even meet for tea or something. I am not pregnant, had a tx 3 weeks ago, and hope to ttc again within the next month to year. I do not want to be judged for what I did (trust me I judge me quite enough) and would want a buddy who understands and would be there to talk about how I will prepare for ttc as well as during... when I fearing I will die etc. I am in Minnesota, Twin Cities area. Thank you so much for this website!!!!

Hello,

My name is Rebecca. I am 33 years old and at 8 weeks 1 day of my first pregnancy. I have been extremely sick for the past 3 weeks and 4 days ago, my OB diagnosed me with HG and put me on IV fluids and a Zofran pump.

I can't believe that I have 32 more weeks and I'm already so worn out. After trying to get pregnant for a year and a half, doctors told me my body was too focused on my spinal osteoarthritis to concentrate on getting pregnant. This past November 7, 2011, I underwent a 4-level spinal fusion in my cervical spine. It was my 3rd spine surgery since 2000. My surgeon said it would be ok for me to get pregnant starting at 3 months post surgery.

For the first 2 months following spine surgery, I was in and out of the hospital because my surgical incision wouldn't heal. I had a wound vac that was attached to my neck at all times. Surgeon said it might take 6 months to heal and was contemplating reopening the wound when the incision healed spontaneously the day before Christmas Eve.

Almost exactly 3 months post-surgery, I found out I was pregnant. I had been sick for about a week, but thought it was withdrawal from pain medication. Turns out it was HG.

Now I'm 8w 1d pregnant and feel like I'm going to die every day. My doctor won't let me cut down on painkillers until my body gets stronger. I'm supposed to be doing daily exercise to strengthen my neck and support the surgery, but it's an effort just to walk up the stairs at my house. I'm terrified that my body won't be strong enough to support this pregnancy.

I feel so guilty because I've wanted to be pregnant for so long and now that I am pregnant, I'm starting to think I don't want to be pregnant anymore. I've been so sick for so long. How can I go through 32 more weeks of this?

Sorry for writing a book, but as you can see, I really need a buddy. I live just north of Chicago.

Thanks for listening,

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca
I'm sorry you're so sick, you are strong and you can get through this, it will get easier for now just focus on making it through the day or hour at a time.
Come and join us in the first trimester folder and get some support online. I'm sure someone will organise the buddy for you but in the mean timeif you can handle screen time come and chat with us.
I'm 11 weeks bedridden on an IV for over 3 weeks now, on Zofran etc
Strength to you xx

I would love a buddy. I'm 10 weeks of my 3rd HG pregnancy. I have a 3 yr. old daughter and my second pregnancy resulted in miscarriage. I am in Boston, MA.

Hi everyone.

I would volunteer as buddy if there's ever someone from Switzerland (or South Germany) visiting and in need of a buddy. I had two 1/2 HG pregnancies so far (two children, one miscarriage) and we're trying for our third. I'm located in north-east Switzerland, but our country is rather small, I'm sure I could help out, at least in the German speaking part of Switzerland. My French is a little rusty and I unfortunately do not speak Italian, but we'll always have English

Hello, I would like a buddy! I'm 10 weeks into my first pregnancy and have been diagnosed with mild HG. I'm working full time while DH is in school, and we have two daughters from his previous marriage. I haven't been to work in a couple of weeks, though I've been working from home as much as possible. Pretty much all social activities have stopped. Last week, I had to go to the women's ER for fluids.

DH is amazing, but he's hurting, too. He feels bad that he can't financially take care of us right now, and he is having a hard time doing nice things for himself - though right now he is actually out on a like bike ride! Yay DH! Also, I can't snuggle or even really kiss him, and he's hurt. Even movie nights are tough because I don't do well on the couch, and all the lights and sounds of the TV sometimes make my HG worse. Our girls are visiting grandparents for 2 weeks, but they really miss me playing with them. I'm a lot more irritable, too. It's been really rough on all of us.

I live in Mississippi and would love an e-friend. Thanks.
