Hi, I'm pregnant with my first and it's not going well for me. For baby it's been great, she's healthy developing great and very active. But I've been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum and it's being controlled with antisickness tablets. The tablets make me sleep and my body is now starting to get used to them so they aren't working as well anymore. To make things worse, the doctor's have essentially quarantined me as my immune system is impossible weak and I'm contracting everyone's slightest infection. This then puts me in hospital because the vomiting gets worse and my stomach acid causes severe burns in my throat.
I don't feel normal, I can't leave my house and I'm barely functional. Yet the baby is doing fine.
I'm now constantly doubting how I'm going to get through the next few months. I'm not sure I can.
I really hope it gets better and you can enjoy it more, than just suffer. Sending you all my best wishes
Thank you. I keep being told by doctors that the sickness should start to ease off and my dependency on the antisickness will eventually stop. But so far it's not showing any signs of stopping. I'm willing to try anything at this point as it's reaching unbearable. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it
But what are the prognosis? For me, the beginning was really tough, but then it got better after 3 months or so. I really hope it will get better. Many things are unexpected while being pregnant.
On the other side, is it possible to try out homeopathy or/and acupuncture? I didn't do myself while pregnant, but I was reading lots of positive reviews on acupuncture especially, and for different issues. Like, maybe you could try even for heartburn. Well, depends, but I guess I would try everything that doesn't hurt the baby..
You will go through. No doubts. I think all of us had our own issues and fears during pregnancy. Some more some less. It's not easy process to start and carry the new life inside of you. But think why women were chosen for this. Yes. We can. And you can. Growing the baby is even more harder then pregnancy. So it's never easy. But once you will have your baby in your arms it all make sense😍. You almost made half the way to this! And it's also harder right before you close to your goal 😊
