Hello 👋 I am 13w3d and my doctor finally prescribed me a prednisone taper but it’s not working 😢😭 I’m on day five with no improvement and I was so happy bc of all the positive comments I seen about it. I have my appointment next week and planning on asking for Remeron but not feeling very confident with that either… I also still take Zofran, Promethazine, Omeperezole and Pepcid. I also get fluid and banana bags every Monday and Thursdays. My birthday 30th is on September 3rd and I want even be able to eat 😔

Y’all, I’m so hungry. But no matter what I try I can’t find a safe food and when I eat I get extremely sick with nausea and vomiting but also stomach issues. It’s horrible…. I just want food 😭 12 weeks and I’m hoping by 20 weeks I can be semi normal 🤞

I have not eaten in weeks and can’t take more than 1.5 sips in 20 min otherwise I’ll vomit. My office gave me a Zofran pump but want me to use the same site for 7 days in a row without changing it. My site got red, hot, hard and painful and caused extra nausea. They tried my leg and the same thing happened so the home health told me to wait until my appointment which was 2 days ago. I told my doctors about my site and wanted to be able to change it every 12-24 hrs. She agreed but when home health called back today they stated the doctor wanted me to try again for 7 days. Umm no, I told home health that wasn’t going to be possible or feasible so they said they would call my doctor’s office. I have my last scheduled IV on Thursday and nothing after that bc they didn’t think I’d need it. So I’m not sure how I’ll stay hydrated besides going and waiting at the ER for hours. I am planning on getting a second opinion with other OBGYN office but need to release my information with them. Right now I’m taking Zofran 8mg ODT every 8 hrs and Unisom at night and I feel like I’m dying. I have been direct about what I want with my care and they don’t seem to be listening. I’m so stressed out…

I haven’t been able to keep anything down for longer than 10 minutes. I’ve tried so many things and nothings working. I’m 9w1d and don’t have an appointment until Monday. I get IV fluids in 2 days but I’m so scared that I’m killings myself by not being able to eat or drink. I’ve lost 26 lbs and I’m sure I’ll be more. My doctor wants me to keep taking Phenergan suppositories and ODT Zofran until my appointment. They don’t work!! Neither does unisom and b6… idk what else I can ask for but I’m seriously considering termination at this point even though this is a very wanted pregnancy 😭 they literally give me IV Zofran and 2 bags of fluid every 3 days and I’ll just sit there throwing up during the appointment 😢

UPDATE: I did contact my office and they are prescribing Protonix, a Zofran pump and home healthcare for IVs. I pray this helps a bit and I can go about my life 🙏

I’m amazed at how people can do this. I feel terrible 3 days after getting fluids. Not able to eat or drink but also being so thirsty and hungry at the same time is miserable. I don’t even get relief going to get IV fluids and medication doesn’t work IV or at home. I don’t now if I can keep doing this. But I’ve had 2 miscarriages before this and really want my baby…

Here’s a poll to see when HG went away for most people

I am 7w4d and I am so sick. I puke after every sip and every bite. I haven’t kept food down for a whole week. I went to the ER for fluids and they gave me 2 doses of Zofran and Pepcid and I still kept throwing up. My doctor switched me from Zofran to Promethazine and it makes me tried and feel like I’m drugged up. I work 45-50 hrs a week and I can’t dob this. They are trying to cater to me but I feel like I’m dying every day. My husband says he’ll work full time instead but waiting for places to call him back smh. I am so hungry and yet puke everything up. I’ve tried fruits, crackers, bagels, the BRAT diet, vegetables and so much more. People say keep eating even if you’ll vomit but it’s not that easy. It hurts and it is constant and immediate. I haven’t kept food 2 live children and before this pregnancy I had 2 miscarriages. I was so excited and scared to see another positive but now I feel ungrateful for how bad I feel. Anyways, is there anyone who’s felt the same and what helped you? They haven’t ruled this as HG either. Thank you for letting me rant.
