Thanks Expedit.

I am in slightly a better way today. OB took one look at me and sent me over to the hospital. 3 bags of fluid, IV Zofran and 2 stemetil injections later I am home (and not vomiting for the time being).

I think I missed the dehydration window - didn't realise how bad it was and then ended up unknowingly in the dehydration cycle.

I too could have written your above post Expedit. Everything.

Thanks for the support. I hope everyone is feeling better (well, you know - at least a bit!) soon.

Kate - I have heard lots of stories about HG coming back in the last few weeks. I also heard indigestion can exacerbate it, so maybe some antacids would help? Hope you feel better soon.

Oh girls, I am so sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time. I can still clearly remember the depths of despair at the worst times, and just wanting to die or have it end whatever it took. I was sobbing to a midwife when I was last hospitalised to make it end and I was so lucky, she and another 2 of them had all had HG and got where I was coming from. But it does get better, just hang in there. I know seeing the light at the end is near impossible when you're this sick, but I used to repeat to myself "one more day down, one more day I never have to go through this again" and it was a good mantra! Needless to say we will NOT be having another baby unless they make surrogacy legal here! I can never do it again.

I had a break from I think 27-28 weeks this time, and since 34 weeks its been occasional days when needing meds, but they haven't worked fantastically. The heartburn definitely makes it worse and the last 2 days the acid burps have started the vomiting again. But I am booked for my csection on the 28th so I know I am finally on the countdown to feeling better!

Hang in there, I know it's horrible and I am sending you all huge hugs and feeling better vibes xxxxx
