Hi. I'm 11 weeks along and this is my second go around with severe HG. Last time I had gall disease and was hoping that it was a contributing factor. This time, I have no gall bladder and am still severely hyperemetic.
In my first pregnancy, I had woefully inadequate care, did all the anti-emetic drugs and finally got on a zofran pump. OUCH those hurt!
This time, I started on zofran pills. Then came the IV fluids. Then the PICC line and dextrose fluids. Then the hospital stay to get TPN started. I am now at home with TPN going into my PICC line 12 hours at night. I'm still nauseated as heck ALL THE TIME, but I"m only vomiting about 3 times a day. The nausea is the WORST, although my stomach has been so empty that when I do throw up, it burns my mouth and throat something awful.
My mouth tastes horrible. I'm hyper-salivating, which is awful. I have a total aversion to all liquid (am not drinking ANY) and can barely tolerate any food. I've lost 22 lbs so far.
I can lend support because I've been through this before, but I also could use a shoulder to cry on. This WILL be my last child.
