Hyperemesis Gravidarum, it’s been real but it’s time to say goodbye!

After six years and three HG pregnancies later, I’m very excited to NEVER have to deal with HG again. Although I’ll be dealing with what HG did to my body probably for the rest of my life.

 I was on Zofran, Phenergan, and Zantac up until the night before I had Elliot. I was taking three to four Zantac a day, the bottle said to only have one or two. My heartburn was so bad that I would wake up in the middle of the night and have to make my way downstairs to pop an extra Zantac and handful of Tums and sit on my couch until it went away.

 As soon as I was able to eat after my c section I ordered a burger a prayed that I would be able to keep it down. My body was tired from puking and if I got sick after having my uterus and stomach cut open I would probably split in half, or at least I felt like that’s what was going to happen. It was really a surprise that I didn’t throw up. My HG was finally gone! I did have to continue for about a week with the Zantac. I have noticed that my stomach is still very sensitive. My stomach feels weak, which could be from being cut, but I think it’s from HG, but my stomach does feel weak, it feels like it’s easily irritable.

 Only time will tell if I will be able to go back to normal, but I’ve forgotten what normal is for me. I might have mentioned it before but I’m a very picky eater and having HG has made my food selection even smaller. I don’t mind really, I could probably eat the same thing for the rest of my life and be okay with it.

 With my first HG pregnancy I developed a peanut and corn intolerance.  With my second HG pregnancy I was able to add green pepper and onion intolerance to my list. With my last one I’ve added banana, strawberries, garlic, and dairy to my intolerance list.

 I’m hoping with time I’ll be able to enjoy these foods once again.

 I started taking a bunch of multivitamins to help my body get back to normal. After 39 weeks of throwing up my hair, skin, and nails have suffered. Oh, and my teeth. My teeth are so sensitive. I’m sure my teeth issue is half of HG’s fault and because I ended up being severely anemic and I was eating two large cups of ice a day.

 I’ve recently seen that they found a new drug that works for HG. I pray that my girls don’t get HG if and when they decide they want children, and if they do end up with HG I hope they find a drug that can help so they don’t end up suffering. I hope other women don’t have to suffer as much.

 This entry isn’t exactly what I want it to be but I’ve been in the hospital with Elliot for three days and I haven’t really slept a good amount. But since I have time now that he’s sleeping and there’s nothing on tv, I thought I’d write a little something to tie up my last HG pregnancy.

 If there is anyone reading this because you or someone you know has HG and you have any questions or need some advice or want to confide in someone who knows what you’re going through you can always message me. Even if it’s years later. I will gladly be here to help anyone through this horrible journey.
