My fight with Hyperemesis Gravidarum

India

WHEN I SAY I WOULD NEVER EVER GET PREGNANT AGAIN 😭🤦🏽‍♀️ this has been more than a damn roller coaster, it’s been a nose drive straight to hell 😩! So a quick update.

**I was hospitalized over the weekend (which happened to be during my Fiancé’s birthday 😔👎🏽 and he had to spend it in a uncomfortable hospital chair smh- I feel so bad) but anyways I went in because I literally felt like I was on my DEATHBED! When I say I was so sick! I was vomiting like 10 times a day, I was nauseous THE ENTIRE DAY, I didn’t eat anything, couldn’t drink anything (yes I threw up water)! I even opted for pedialyte! So I ended up Back in the hospital for a Third time (during my FIRST trimester) because I couldn’t even stand! I went to shower and I started out sitting in the shower, next thing I knew I was laying down in the shower with the water just running! Shit scared him and me both to death! My lovely fiancé had to put on his mama panties and wash me! Yes! I couldn’t even wash my own ass! I was so dehydrated, malnourished, and weak smh. When I got to the hospital per usual they thought oh just another pregnant lady with pregnant symptoms and I’m like NO, it was so hard getting ANYONE to understand the severity of the nausea I had. They tried doing the same as the other hospital and my other to visits (IV fluids + quick nausea meds, try to feed me, then send me home). It took me sounding like a dying animal while throwing up for them to even question if it was bad. They tried sending me home even though I couldn’t eat graham crackers and I’m just like just admit me. So I was admitted, had fluids and they gave me Zofran... I was dead to the world lol. So on the 3rd day they tried getting me to just eat anything, pudding, jello, pancakes, I was able to eat the pudding and jello but nothing else and they still sent me home with a different prescription (which has saved my life) and a prescription for Zofran (I’m waiting for the approval) and when I say I’m glad I was finally admitted and taken seriously because now I CAN FUCKING EAT! I had some bbq food lol and some fruit (that tasted like God hand picked them himself) lol I’m able to keep down fluids and food and have only thrown up once since the hospital visit (which I can tell was much needed cause literally my ribs felt like they were ran OVER while I was vomiting smh) and if I was experiencing the vomiting still on a regular basis I don’t think I would have made it.

Okay I think I’m done lol! Let’s see how this second trimester goes with the meds. I’m hopeful 😭🤞🏽
