Hi ladies, just need/want a bit of advice about Hyperemesis Gravidarum + Ketones.

Bit of a back story..

I’ve suffered with horrendous sickness from 6 weeks 4 days (the date of my dating scan) couldn’t keep anything down whatsoever a sip of water was coming straight back up. I was prescribed some anti sickness tablets by my GP last week for having +1 ketones, she said if I couldn’t keep the tablet down I had to ring 111 and be taken to hospital, which did happen. I got to hospital, they put the canula in etc and I was taken to the pregnancy assessment unit where they gave me IV fluids (3 bags) and plenty medication and I was sent on my way. Medication from GP worked wonders however when that ran out I started taking what the hospital prescribed me and I ended up back at square one throwing up every single thing including a sip of water. I was very dehydrated.

Forward to Tuesday this week (26th) I had enough and rang an emergency appointment, got seen and my ketones had gone to +2, before she even compared it she said ‘that’s worse than last time I’m ringing the hospital’ which she did and I was rushed there within half an hour. I’ve been on IV fluids since Tuesday night and haven’t had a break, I’ve been on medication since and I’ve been up and down. My ketones went to +4 last night, I woke up this morning spitting blood, I had to have blood thinners last night, thiamine, folic acid on top of my anti sickness. Tuesday night I was horrendous throwing up all night and same with all day yesterday however yesterday night I felt ok-ish, maybe because of the amount of medication? Managed to keep some toast down and same this morning! I’m so pleased with myself. I had an emergency scan yesterday also and my little baby is 8 weeks 5 days (6 today) he/she was wriggling around kicking it’s little feet and had a lovely heart beat and is very healthy. I’m still severely sick, severely dehydrated and basically in starvation mode. I’ve lost a stone in under a month also.

Sorry for the long post. Think I covered everything😂

I’m just terrified that I’ve harmed my unborn baby and looking for simple experiences from you ladies. Thanks in advance girls🤰🏻🌸

Oh and a picture of my little wriggler💗💙
