My experience

I have had two children with both my pregnancies having severe hyperemesis (vomitting) and if the vomitting wasn't bad enough there were food aversions, the fatigue, the despair. I laid in my bed for 10 weeks and my mother in her 70's had to come and care for me and my daughter. I lost 20lbs with both and I was debilitated. During my second pregnancy, my daughter was traumatized and scare to see me soo ill and still to this day gets overly concerned when she sees me throw up due to stomach flu. My husband was overwhelmed and bitter. It was HORRIBLE to say the least and it still brings tears to my eyes.. I vowed I would NEVER do it again. My first pregnancy I was naive and my second I was optimistic (that I wouldn't suffer like the first)-now I know the inhumaninty of it BUT I still want another baby. How can I say the suffering wasn't worth my two beautiful exhilirating children. i think of the pioneers and how so eloquently somebody said"because of thier hunger, thirst, pain and hardship I am here today" My older sister just recently got pregnant and is suffering HG and I decided I will research and pray to find some type of relief for her. So I will post the various finds I have. I do have the oppurtunity to take my children out of state and care for her for the next three weeks and give her some support and her husband some reprieve time. I am grateful to serve her and I hope I can provide her some relief. Wish me luck. I will post more of my reseach when I have time. Please feel free to comment any posts-stories, helpful hints, experiences.
