Hyperemesis Gravidarum Support and Research Forums

I will be in touch--I've had the buddy list fired up all day!

After some lingering in the first tri folder and a downer of a week, I think I am in much need of a buddy. My name is Megan, I am an American in Melbourne, Australia. I'm 11 weeks along in my second pregnancy (I have a two year old daughter). I'm living in Australia while my husband works on his MBA here. And HG struck with this one about 4 or 5 weeks ago and decided to really peak about three days ago.

Soooo glad I found this website. The info and support is tremendous and much appreciated during this difficult time. Thanks so much!!!

I'll email you again, Megan. Congrats - You're the 2nd girl from the Illinois list who's 11 weeks pregnant!

Thanks, Pamela. My profile e-mail address is actually not correct (I've tried to update but keep getting an error message). I'll PM you with the correct e-mail address.

Thanks so much!

Got it!

Hi there, thank you for setting this up! I'm in Oregon, I'm 9 weeks 5 days pg, and I'm totally miserable. I've been in bed for 2-1/2 weeks now, and vary between being just utterly nauseated and unable to function, and being unable to keep anything down, even water. I've had 5 rounds of IV fluids, and today my midwife suggested getting IV Zofran in a few days if I don't improve. This just sucks. I'm so scared it's going to last the whole pregnancy! I don't know what to do. Would love to have some support.

Hello

I am back to the site - 3rd HG pregnancy. EDD 28th November 2007 so only just starting on the journey. So far no HG but am expecting the worse (well what I remember of it anyway!). I am in the UK near London and to be more specific the South West of London so Richmond, Twickenham, Teddington, Kingston area... a buddy would be lovely!

bye for now
Clara

PS the site has really moved on since December 2003 when I was last here! Congratulations on all the hard work it looks amazing!

Hi PamelaRose,

I would love a buddy!! I am not new to the site--this is my 2nd HG pregnancy--but I could really use the extra support this time around. I live in Phoenix, AZ.

thanks,

Fern, it was nice to hear from you. And Clara--CONGRATULATIONS! I'm thrilled for you. I'll pass along your request to Louise so you can have things lined up quickly. Same for you, Krystal - I'll be in touch about a buddy soon. So many new babies coming along here now.

I'd like to be a buddy for someone newly pregnant in Kentucky w/hyperemesis. I'm 34 weeks along and my symptoms have toned down remarkably.

I'm 19 and a college student. I found out I was pregnant Aug 31 and started having symptoms a few weeks later. I dropped from 120 pounds to 108 in three weeks. I couldn't even hold down water. I was throwing up at least ten times a day, most days at least 15. It was miserable. I was IV'd on several occasions for dehydration and ended up dropping out of school late October, when I was 12 weeks pregnant.

My symptoms started to taper off at around 22 weeks, but I still get bouts of nausea, but not nearly as bad. I've gained the weight back, thanks to a nutritionist at my college telling me to leave and also treating me early.

I've been there, done that... and would love to be a buddy for someone going through it.

Thanks, Laura. I'll add you to the volunteer list and let you know when someone needs your help!

Pamela,

Thanks for doing this for us. I emailed you the pertinant info. It's just amazing to me to see how many people are going through the same thing as me. I have been feeling so alone lately, and this forum is just what the dr ordered. Well, the nurse. She was the one who pointed me here.

Thank you,

Molly

I would love a buddy as well. I am in Florida on the Treasure Coast (Port St. Lucie). I have lots of questions, I can't wait to look around the site!

Hi Pamela -

Would love to have a buddy right now. I'm in Tampa, FL. I'll PM you with my email address.

Hi, ladies. I will fire up the volunteers list and get in touch with you all soon!

Hi I am in the end of my pregnancy and would like to lend a supportive hand to a newbee.

I live in the Southern California area.

Let me know what I can do.

My email is kings92630@cox.net

Thanks, Danea! I'll get the volunteers list fired up tonight and get in touch with everyone.

Hi, I'm Amber, I live in Ohio and I have HG. (This sounds like an introduction at an AA meeting, lol). I am 19 weeks pregnant, and married to my best friend Kevin. We are expecting a boy in September. I'm an RN in an ER, but am currently off work due to my symptoms, which is frustrating, because I'm bored out of my mind when I don't have my head in the toilet. So, I could use a distraction to help pass the time.

I'll be in touch, Amber. We've got lots of Ohio girls who would love to ease the boredom and isolation!

This is my first time with HG, and I am in MA
