My name is Jessica. I was referred to HER by Brenda (minnesotamama) through our birthboard at babycenter.com. I was not aware of your site but it is a godsend. I had HG with my first pg that last the entire time. It was a daily struggle. My son was born 4 weeks early as a result (8-9-05). He is now a happy,healthy 17 month old. My doctor at the time told me the chances of me being that sick again was 10-15 percent.
In our desire for a family, I became pg again this past October. I was sick beginning at 5 weeks. My ob couldn't believe it. I seem worse this time around. As I sit here and type, I am hooked up to an i.v. at home and am waiting on the home health nurse to get the Reglan pump set up. ed. I have been in the hospital 4 times and the last time I was taken by ambulance because I collapsed at my husbands office. When I came to, I was told I had been in preterm labor until they gave me fluids. The medications I currently take are Phenergan, Reglan, Compazine, Zofran, and Prevacid. They provide some relief to varying degrees but never totally. I have hopes that the pump will provide me with some relief so that I begin to function normally.
I would love a buddy. I am located in Brandon, Mississippi. I'm originally from VA but my husbands job transfer brought us here last year. I don't know many people and me being so sick, compounds how lonely I feel. I desperately want to be able to do normal things such as clean my own house (which is currently a disaster), play with my son, and meet new people since I have not had the opportunity to make friends since I've been here.
Again - A big thanks to Minnesotamama for helping me find a place where I can feel like I'm understood.
