Hello Everyone I will be hanging out here every now and then so I thought I would post a bit about myself.
I don't recall finding this site until nearly the end of my first pregnancy. I had really bad HG and was in the hospital twice. My OB was an idiot and did not treat my HG appropriately or soon enough (hind site). Then my situation got worse when the Peri- prescribed me prednisone and then basically forgot about me and I continued to take it. Well I got a severe infection called choriamniotisis from taking the medication which lowers your immune system. Long and short of the story my baby died because of this medication. (Full story is on Quinton's website http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/q/quinton/)
My second pregnancy I also had HG but was extremely prepared for it this time. I started Zofran at 6 weeks and I was still really ill, as opposed to violently ill, until about 13 weeks when being on the Zofran was almost enough. However, shortly after the amnio my son's heart stopped beating and he was delivered at 17 weeks.
Everything in my life has changed, and I mean everything except my dh and my desire to have children. I feel like I have been to he-- and back. I'm sure that some of your stories are just as depressing as mine and I hope that I can be of some help here so we all can get through this together.
Peace to everyone in your journey.
