Hyperemesis Gravidarum (Extreme Morning Sickness)

I hear you ladies! I know why they lock hospital windows..I have it for 3 months and really thought I was going to die and my baby too. I had a 1-1/2 year old at home and I had to have a babysitter around the clock for her. I was in and out of the hospital all the time. My husband said it was in my head! It was the hardest thing I ever had to go thru. I didnt even get sick with my first and now I think I want another one but am sooo scared it will happen to me again..I dont know if I can handle that again.

I had severe morning sickness with
all of my pregnancies. It was horrible.
I seriously would vomit or retch (because
there was nothing in my stomach) every
20 min.-30 min. many days. It would
slack off a bit after 5 months pregnant
but I would even be nauseated or
vomit on the table for my c-sections.
No one believed how bad it was. Even my
when I would bring it up to my OB
she'd be like "oh yes morning sickness
is the pits" and I was dying. I just know
she heard it so many times from other
pregnant woman she thought I was
just one of the regular complainer's!
It would dissapear as soon as I would
deliver thank god.

I had this with my first child and it was a living nightmare. My doctor dismised me three times as being morning sickness and in the end had to be rushed into hospital and put on a drip. I ended up being admited three times for rehydration due to the condition. Eventually i was given medication that only slightly eased to symptoms and as soon as my daughter was born i felt much better. No one understood how bad it was and just asumed i was making it all up, it was like a nine month bad dream. I want more children but i am scared to get pregnant again in case i have to go through it all the same as last time. Does anyone know of any suport groups on the web for this?

I am going on my 20th week of pregnancy. I take Zofran but I still haven't gained any weight. I am concerned. My husband and I have seperated because of my sickness. He doesn't believe that I am sick. He didn't understand it or the mood swings. This is my 2nd pregnancy but the first time I had this disease. We are getting a divorce. I am trying not to stress out but it has been rough. I believe I will have to take this medicine until I delivery. People need to understand that this is not NORMAL morning sickness!!!!

I had this condition with all of my children 3. I felt alone and that no one understood. I had no choice but to work until I was almost ready to pop with all of them. I'd throw up the whole time at work, pee myself, I had bust blood vessels in my eyes. My house was a mess because I couldn't bring myself to do much else. My doctor tried to help, but nothing worked. I ended up in pre term labor with my last son. because of dehydration. My husband doesn't understand why I don't want anymore children, just drink some malox he says. I'm pregnant again. and have prayed this one will be different so far I'm only sick 60% of the time instead of 100% progress.
