Hi Leanne,
Fellow Aussie who wants to give her support to you too.
I had HG for 9 mths with daughter and for 7 months with twin boys, which only ended upon their early arrival.
A sympathetic doctor makes the world of difference. The weekly visits give you something to look forward too and means you can cross off another week as each visit goes by.
HG pregnancies draaaaaaaag. I swear I thought my pregnancy would never end and was almost delighted to go into premature labour.
Of course then it's a whole new challenge (especially with twins). But hang in there. You sound a lot more positive than I was.
There is also another website I used to post in...
www.morningsicknesshelp.com I made Aussie friends here and it really helped to know others around the world were suffering too. Good to know it's not in your head and not a case of mind over matter.
My FEMALE ob/gyn saved my sanity during my last pregnancy. However I will NOT be having any more as I think HG twice is enough for me.
Good luck and keep in touch with those who have been there and done that!!
HUGS to you and bump,
Mara
