I had a rough weekend. I have not been able to keep down anything at all, not even water. Yesterday I vomited probably more than ten times, basically every time I was trying to get anything in. This morning as well. I am thirsty and dry, and really hope that I can have some oral rehydration salts in water later on, otherwise I worry that I might need to go on IV rehydration. I have restarted the diclectin, and will even go to gravol if necessary, anything to avoid the IV and the hospital. I have not been able to leave the bed today, and barely did so yesterday. And, between all the vomiting and dehydration, lost 5 lb in the last 24 hours. I am hoping for a break sometime soon.
Some people told me, when seeing me sick, that I have asked for it, that I did this to myself. Yes, I am happy to be pregnant, and happy that the nausea signifies that the hormone levels are high, but I am really suffering, and to tell someone that they asked for suffering is calloused. On the other hand, I realize that before suffering from hyperemesis myself, I had no idea what it felt like, and so it is entirely possible that others simply don't know what it is like and hence can't take it seriously. I asked for a baby, that is all.
Ugh, sorry to hear you're having such an awfully rough time...that sounds miserable! If things don't get better soon it sounds like you need to get some IV fluids in you, hope things resolve themselves soon!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe people would be so stupid! I'm sorry, hun :( I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteBah! I hope you start feeling better soon :(
ReplyDeleteOh MrsH. I feel for you, terribly. I was violent sick with both my pregnancies too. Keeping you in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOMG,some people don't miss any chances to make others feel bad. So you should be happy that your throat feels raw, your stomach inside out and you can't even keep water down? Don't listen to them, it feels indescribable and keep complaining if it helps you. I do hope you feel better soon.
