Okay, I'm hearing so many stupid comments from family and coworkers regarding my HG (Hyperemersis Gravidarum)that I am ready to have a printed copy of the following to hand to people. I won't but I WANT to.
1. Yes, I understand you had "horrible" morning sickness with your child. How awful to vomit twice a day @_@ When you've thrown up 20+ times in one day and have been on IV fluids, I'll take your advice on how to "Cure" my "morning sickness." Augh!
2. Yes. I've tried eating crackers.
3. Yes, I've tried drinking ginger ale and ginger tea and ginger candy.
4. Yes, I get that it is never a good idea to take prescription meds while pregnant. Due to Zofran I've only lost 5 lbs. in the last two weeks. I'll stay on it, thanks...
5. Yes, I've tried wearing Sea Bands. No, they didn't help me.
6. Yes, I'm taking Unisom. Yes, it helps a little. It doesn't mean I don't need the Zofran. I'm also taking B6 vitamins. No, I can't keep down my prenatal vitamins and the OB said to skip them.
7. Yes, this is my last pregnancy. No, I don't want more children. No, I'm not willing to go through this again.
8. I am at high risk for preterm labor due to a combination of HG, Asthma and low blood pressure. This means I will be having a c-section. No, I don't want to consider a home birth with a midwife.
9. To the ER nurse, why yes- I do realize the best way to stay hydrated is to drink a lot of fluids. This is impossible if I am vomiting them up five seconds after drinking them :(
10. For the last time - YES, I HAVE TRIED EATING CRACKERS!!!!
