Hi there,
I am so excited to have finally made it this far. I have been pregnant with really bad hg for a year now on and off. I had 2 consecutive miscarriages last year at 12 and 8 weeks both with severe hg., and now this pregnancy. It has been quite a struggle and is even still taking its toll on my husband and three children ages 2, 5 and 7. I had an ng tube in the beginning to avoid being sent away to a hospital in germany for ptn.
The hospital here mickey moused an ng tube for me, I couldn't bear being alone so it was their way of keeping me here. I imagine my hg might have been alittle better if I could have had home health care but that is not an option here. I have been on zofran, medrol, benedryl and b-6 most of the time, as well as frequently visiting the hospital for i.v.'s . we have tried others but they didn't work and some actually made things worse. I am finally off the medrol. I was doing so well 2 weeks ago that I thought for sure this was over.......we all know how that goes. I even put on 6 pounds(I have yet to meet my pre-pregnancy weight. I lost 20lbs this time around. I got a cold about a week ago and I was doing ok to begin with. now that I'm at the tail end of the cold I'm having a difficult time again. last night i was feeling so much nausea that I couldn't eat and I've been vomitting all day today(nothing but bile). I tried to eat some hot cereal for breakfast as that usually settles my tummy and I couldn't hold it down. It's midday now and The nausea just keeps getting more intense and the vomittng happens if I move around. I am so afraind that this is starting over again. I was so hoping this was over. I've been ahgving braxton-hicks contractions all day I know due to my impending dehydration. I have to get this stopped but even my dissolveable zofran is not really doing the job it normally does. My husband is in school time and ahalf and works a job where he is not accessible and I have no family here and no one can help me with my kids until thursday so there is no way I can go to the hospital on top of that we're still waiting for my drivers license renewal to get here from Ca. so I can't drive to the hospital even if I could find child care. Kind of stuck in a crumby place right now. it is hard and lonely here. I am trying so hard but just when I get my hopes up, my world comes crashing back in on me. The stress is unbearable at times. Thanks for any support/wisdom. Heather
