13 week update
Hey Y’all. Thanks so much for the AMAZING support. I so need it. Pregnancy is not a cake walk. It’s definetely not for the weak-of heart or mind.
I suffer (yes SUFFER) from Hyperemis Graviderum (sp?) which basically affects 1-2% of pregnant women. It basically means I puke all day and night. If I drink water, I’m praising the porcelain God. Medication can sometimes help. Unfortunately for me, the only kind that does help me is $300 for 20 pills, which I have to take 2 times a day. So I’m still waiting to see if my insurance will FINALLY approve the payment. In the mean time, I’m off to the er 1-2 times a week for treatment for dehydration and to stop the nasead and vomitting. The medication through iv usually lasts a day. So that’s when I eat. Think of it as having severe bulimia but being pregnant. Except at least a bulimic can choose not to throw up.
So I’m pretty tiny still. All bump, no rump. Ok that rhymed and was so lame. My cardio is not an option now. I need my fat. I do walk a few times a week. Only short ones cause I have dizziness and migraines, everything you would have from nutritional deficiency.
Life is so ironic, cause it’s not like I needed any more dark clouds to make this journey even harder. It’s already pretty tough. But thank you guys for being a little ray of light. Bye you sexy beeyotches. I gotta eat before this medicine wears off.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. That sounds rough. But when the little one get older you always have the line, "Do you know what I went through to get you here?!!!" Is there any indication on when it subsides? Does it last the duration of the pregnancy?
Sending you positive thoughts!

Yes unfortunately it lasts until the baby is born. It’s different from morning sickness. This gets progressively worse. YOu have sore throat from esophogal damage, digestive damage from the repeated puking, and blood shot eyes and migraines and dizziness from the potassium loss, dehydration, iron loss. Sucks ass. Morning sickness gets better. You don’t have a choice of introducing artficial drugs into your body & your unborn child’s because the risk of starvation are far more dangerous than the medication. It lasts all day and night and if you don’t eat, doesn’t matter, you will still barf but dry heaves or blood. I just keep looking at my pregnancy ticker. Boy it seems to be going so slow. Pregnancy isn’t going to be the beautiful experience it should be. But nothing good is easy, or comes to us in this world easy. Thanks so much guys for the encouraging words. I gotta say-luv ya all.
