Working on the whole visual impact w/ HG, too, I thought of doing a timeline - you know, how a "normal" pg goes, and how an HG pg goes.
I'm interested in women who would share their timeline - the ideal is to find women who have pictures taken of them throughout their pregnancies! Has ANYONE with HG taken traditional pictures of themselves throughout the pg?!?
Even if the pictures aren't an option, a detailed pg history timeline w/ meds and hospitalizations and IVs, and ultrasounds, etc. will look way different than a traditional pregnancy - I think there would still be a significant impact here. Anyone interested?
1 - normal pg woman - someone must know someone who took regular photos of themselves through the pg, and has a "normal" as "normal" can be pg? If not, I'll use someone I know, but I'm not sure on how many pictures there are.
2 - mild HG - I could easily use myself, but there are no pictures of me before 14 weeks pg - hmmm, somehow missing the whole sick thing.
3 - moderate HG - could use me here instead, but again, no pictures - this time not until nearly 20 weeks and certainly can't put me twice, right?
4 - severe HG - ok, so who is brave enough?
