Hypermesis gravidarum?

Question

Ok so first off, I'm 12w 6d.  I haven't been able to see the doctor yet so that might be off.  I don't have my first appointment scheduled for another two weeks because the one and only Obgyn in my town is super busy.  
My symptoms are basically these:
1.  So much nausea and vomiting!!  Seriously, in the last couple of weeks there have been several days(around 5) where after around noon I can no longer keep anything down. It's not uncommon for me to throw up five times a day.  Yesterday I'm certain I hit double digits.  Anything I put in lasted about 45-60 minutes before I threw up.  Ginger doesn't help.  Peppermint does a little, but mostly as relief afterwards instead of prevention.
2.  I get dizzy really easy.  Several times a day I get dizzy when I stand. Bsometimesbi have to hold myself up and breathe deeply for a few seconds before I can walk.
3.  Headaches.  Not super bad, but a lot more common than usual.
4.  Peeing?  So I have never been the type of person who peed a lot.  Pre pregnancy I would pee twice a day.  Now it's more, but still only like 4 or 5 times a day.  I don't know if that's normal for pregnant women.

Thoughts?  From stuff I've googled I'm afraid I have HG.  What do I do about that?  I don't know if I can get in to see my OBGYN anytime soon and I don't want to waste my time if all I need is a nap and some Benadryl.

Answer

I was severely nauseous and couldnt keep even water down until i was 15weeks and 5 days  i was diagnosed with hypermesis and it was definitely a false diagnosis. The peeing thing is going to happen, ur baby is most likely sitting right ontop of ur bladder. Its irritating but tbh the peeing thing only gets worse as you get further along. Im 34wks+1day and i wake up atleast 4-5 times a night out of a dead sleep to go pee. 
Enjoy your journey through pregnancy love! Keep some saltine crackers next to ur bed and eat about 2-3 lay there for about 10-15 minutes (if possible) and then sit up really slow. It helps alot! 💙

Answer

I have Hyperemesis (diagnosed at 12 weeks, and now currently 37 still suffering)
It really does suck, I would puke about 20-30 times a day, no joke. I was super dehydrated, and anything I ate, even water just would not stay down. I was in and out of the hospital till about 20 weeks, getting IV fluids every Wensday, Thursday, and Friday because I would get so dehydrated it was dangerous, and my stomach wouldn't hold down water. Finally at 25 weeks they prescribed me with Zofran, and it's litteraly the only thing that had made me be able to eat and drink. Nothing would help me before, not gingerale, saltines, preggy pops, litteraly nothing. I was practically in bed with a puke bowl by my face for 4 month's, anf it was probably the worst thing I've ever have to experience. Now at 37 weeks, I still have nausea, but the Zofran keeps me from puking up everything. Hyperemesis really does suck.. just know your not going through it alone. Much love💕

Answer

I had HG and lost 15lbs, had broken blood vessels in my eyes and all over my face from the force of the vomiting, pulled abdominal muscles from lurching, slept 20+ hours a day between vomiting, muscle tremors and just generally felt like a day away from death. I ended up with a home nurse and a Zofran pump.

What you're describing sounds crappy but it also sounds par for the course with pregnancy. Definitely talk to your doctor and see if they can get you some relief.

Answer

Hg honestly is just severe morning sickness, my doctor diagnosed me with it at 5 weeks. There's a lot of medications that can help, I'd call them and tell them you need to be seen.

Answer

Go see a dr. My friend had that during her first pregnancy and even tho it's rare it's serious. If you can't keep anything down its not good for you or the little one. See a dr ASAP!
