Feeling sick during pregnancy

Hi everyone,

I'm new here!

I'm now 11 weeks pregnant and have been admitted to the hospital for the 3rd time on an emergency basis.

When I was eight weeks pregnant, I was hospitalized because I was dehydrated and had already lost 6 kilos in two weeks. I started feeling better on the IV drip... I had to come back for four days of day treatment.

As soon as I was home for three days, things went wrong again. I was already nine weeks pregnant by then. Those were such rotten weeks for me... When you hear people talking about enjoying their pregnancy, I thought about abortion. Yes, I know it's not nice!

After another week of day treatments, Friday was my last day in the hospital, I thought.. I felt better and wasn't so weak anymore!

After a full week at home, I started having symptoms again. Today I've been admitted for day treatment again, but this time I have to stay overnight because my calcium is very low, making me very dizzy, and my blood pressure is low. I'm on the IV drip right now, hoping I won't run into any fellow patients..

I suffer from hyperemesis gravidarum; if you look it up on Google, it comes up quickly..

I hope you all are having a nice first trimester?

Feel free to share your first weeks with me.. I'm really curious.
This is my 2nd pregnancy. And my due date is around 16/6/16
With my first pregnancy, I was in the hospital for a week and then nothing else happened..

Best wishes, Nathalie

    Wow, less so, and I'm complaining about having to give myself an injection every day throughout my entire pregnancy Still, I'd rather that than ending up in the hospital every time. I hope you can enjoy your pregnancy soon! Wishing you lots of strength for the coming months.

    Wishing you lots of strength, anyway. Hope you'll feel better soon.

    I've been in the hospital since Sunday, and today I started tube feeding. Such a nasty thing, but hopefully I'll recover. I have to stay here until Monday and hope to go home with the tube then!
