    My heart goes out to those suffering with this horrible problem. I was fortunate enough for my doctor to give me Zofran before getting dehydrated enough to get hospitalized. Even with medication the nausea is horrible and debilitating. I can’t believe how slow some doctors are to prescribe or find a solution for this suffering. Lord have mercy 💔

    I just terminated at 9 weeks because it really was that bad. I was dying. When women say it’s so bad and terrible but continue the pregnancy, they’re sending the message vis their actions that it’s not bad as they say it is. Especially when they choose to do it over and over again. These women end up looking like whiners and complainers in the end, so there is very little incentive to find a cure. If you choose to live in the hospital for 5+ months and have that luxury as a grown woman with tubes up your nose and all over your arms, you’re in the far minority of what people are willing to do and honestly a little a nuts.

    I am so grateful for this video shining light on HG. I’ve struggled with HG throughout my pregnancy so far: bed bound, not able to drive or leave the house, not able to work. It is so debilitating and I assumed for ages this was just “normal pregnancy sickness” that I couldn’t cope with. I realised after loosing a lot of weight this can’t be normal. There needs to be much more support out there for sufferers and awareness from others of this awful debilitating condition

    Does anyone have advice? I had severe HG with my last pregnancy and experienced all the things mentioned in this film. I'm now 6 weeks into my second pregnancy and feeling terribly nauseous and fear everyday it will get worse. My insurance company in the USA is renegotiating with a lot of obyns and I can't get a doctor appointment until 13 weeks pregnant because of it. How can I get treatment if I can't see anyone until 13 weeks? No one will see me unless I pay out of pocket, and even then, the doctors are so few and far between that won't tell you it's just morning sickness. What should I do?

    • @kat.699
      @kat.699 Před 3 měsíci

      @jenniferwarren6874 I'd call your OB's office and ask if you can get an emergency appointment at their clinic or if an OB would be willing to simply write up a prescription for an antinausea medication such as Diglesis without seeing you. Here in Canada, Diglesis (Diclectin) is the 1st line of treatment for NVP and can be prescribed directly by a pharmacist, no need to even see a doctor. Of course, depending on severity of symptoms, Diglesis might not do much in which case I would go to the ER and doctors there could give you something stronger if necessary.

    • @emmac329
      @emmac329 Před 20 dny

      I would encourage you to call the closest OBGYN and speak with an on call nurse. Explain your situation especially the fact you had it in your last pregnancy. When I was pregnant with my first I made sure to speak with a nurse and thankfully they were understanding and gave me a prescription for Zofran. It will prevent the throwing up but the nausea can remain, it helps though. I hope they give you something especially to prevent you from getting dehydrated or hospitalized.

    I have HG, currently 8 weeks and I've been in and out of hospital for fluids. Lost 12 pounds. It's awful. I'm transitioning from my fertility clinic to my actual OB and it's been really tough to get medication. So many docs just don't want to give you meds to help. I haven't left the house since week 5. I have two different doctor's appointments this week to see if anyone can help me. Getting help shouldn't be this hard.

Kids are totally worth it of course but It really is hell

    This just came through my feed and Thank God it did. What a powerful film. The exact thing that kept him sane and steady is what killed him. To show there is nothing safe and sane about war. And yet it gave the fresh young recruit his courage to pick up where he left off without a beat. It just shows what lengths and how powerful our minds can go and be to put us in a place of “comfort and safety” under the most horrific of circumstances. You created that beautifully. Thank you. Thank you and God bless to all those who served and sacrificed and continue to serve and sacrifice. 🙏🙏💐

    I’m currently on my 8mos of pregnancy and still suffering from HG. 8 mos of nonstop vomiting, difficulty breathing, hallucinations, vomiting blood, nausea all day, dehydration, weight loss, etc. I’ve been isolating myself for 8mos. It feels lonely and tiring. And it feels cruel hearing people comparing my condition to morning sickness which is totally different lol. Watching this video made me feel like I am seen, I am heard, I am not alone. Hyperemesis Gravidarum needs more medical support and understanding. I really hope they find a better treatment for HG soon and that people take this sickness more seriously.

  • @nicoladrum8132

    I had 2 HG pregnancies and to this day I still have fear and nightmares about it, Certain foods and smells still make me want to vomit. It’s truly horrendous. I felt guilty for not enjoying my pregnancies, felt like a failure from the moment it started. I had been given sickness tablets but they did nothing as would bring them back up within minutes of taking them. Unless you’ve been through it NO ONE UNDERSTANDS!

We wanted this film to be as accessible as possible not just for sufferers but those connected with sufferers. The traditional UK broadcasters thought it was not a big enough issue. We very much beg to differ.

    I had HG with my rainbow baby pregnancy, it was awful, was on a zofran pump for 12 weeks of my pregnancy, in and out of the hospital at times, zofran tablets and a couple of other medicines that didn’t work. Might’ve helped some nausea but I was still puking every single day. It’s hard to go through an Hg pregnancy, you’re loosing weight, frail, dehydrated and still expected to do everything as if you aren’t struggling with this condition. Thankfully I had an amazing partner to help me with chores and working, but not everyone has the option.

    I suffered with HG with 2 of my pregnancies the last being the worst. I was so sick it was like my life completely stopped. I had to stop working and I couldn’t leave my house for over half of my pregnancy unless I was going to dr and that was miserable. I called on my mom in law daily because my mind was in such a dark place she prayed for me daily, if not for God and her my daughter and I would not of been here.

    I suffered from HG my second pregnancy 9 years ago. I was hospitalized almost my entire pregnancy and almost terminated as well. I believe it also caused me to develop alopecia in my 3rd trimester.
