I was so sick last pregnancy and always thought holy shit how do people with HG do this.

Had my first prenatal today and found out that oh I did have HG and they just never officially told me. And my doc expects I have it again since I'm already so sick. He told me to anticipate being admitted for fluids a few times and I have to have biweekly appointments for weight checks.

Great.

Ugh, I'm sorry.  I was never officially diagnosed either but I was so freaking sick during my first pregnancy.  I only needed to go to the ER for fluids once though.

Yay, gwapes!


I am loving all this good news today!

The best invention is the notification in the email system that reminds you when you told the recipient that you were attaching files but didn't actually attach them yet.

Yay gwapes!!!!

Oh no @gotgingy. Feel better!

[LittleStarSweeper]

Sorry, those of you dealing with sick kids and/or YOU are sick (due to MS and/or otherwise). Hope everybody feels better soon.

I have never heard of this but it sounds amazing. Please elaborate. Is it available for outlook? Because I look like a total derp several times a day at work and would love some protection!

Yep! That's what I use (it's in attachment preferences). I usually use the web version but I would guess it's available in the other versions too. Gmail has it too. Game changer.

Great.

Did they have to admit you last time? My mom had HG when she was KU with both my sisters (I remember because I was 6/7 years old) and they sent her home with IV fluids occasionally, I would hope they would consider that for you instead of a hospital stay!

I was admitted around 8 weeks and 31 weeks (when I was also written off work). I took four antiemetics a day and puked 1-3 times until the day I delivered. And was just nauseous all day every day. By 30 weeks I had only gained about 4 lbs and I was HUGE so my doctor never seemed concerned because my daughter was growing just fine.

My betas came back at 1795! I can't believe it. I am actually going to schedule an OB appointment now. And maybe add my name to the roster.

Thank you all! I still can't believe it. I go in for my first ultrasound on Feb. 1!

[LittleStarSweeper]

Yay, @helgahufflepuff! So excited for you! 😊

[kellum]

Yay for all the ladies with appointments and ultrasounds and heartbeats today!!

Does anyone have a home Doppler? I kinda want one but I'm worried I'll obsess over it.

[leviosa]

kellum, I had one for my 2nd pregnancy. Then we moved and my H packed it and I have never seen it since. I think he may have secretly gotten rid of it, bc I did obsess over it.

[springbeduk]

Judt catching up - work + exhaustion kicking my butt this week - So happy for all the good news today!! Congratulations and hooray @helgahufflepuff and mambo and gwapes!

I don't have one (yet)...a friend is mailing me hers though. I'm sure I will obsess over it, but i think it'll help me with my anxiety until I start feeling movement. I told her to hold off on mailing it so I don't try to listen too early. Im only home tomorrow and Saturday and then I'm gone for a week for work. When I get home I'll be 9weeks and have an ultrasound anyways, so at that point I feel like I'll fell comfortable trying to find a heartbeat with the Doppler.

It takes a little practice finding it too so if you have trouble the first few times don't freak out. I found that I had success when I pointed it toward my hip bones instead of just flat on my stomach. You will have to play with it and see what works for you.

Here's a laugh for you all -
I was all ready to leave work today, even got my car key out so I wouldn't have to dig through my purse for it, when I remembered I had leftover lunch to take home. So I went to the fridge, got it out, shut the door.....and then hit the lock button on my car keys.

That's right, no one else better want in that fridge.

[Deleted]

pascal I do stuff like that all the time. Hahaha

[springbeduk]

I miss ibuprofen. (Headache) Also Mucinex. Thought it was ok but just checked and no for at least 1st tri.

Totally worth it for the outcome, but ... Still neex to vent/whine a bit now.

I have one.  I will be obsessing over it.  I didn't have one with DS.
