I couldn't get any sleep and most attempts left me restless. I would just force myself to sleep in short spells just to escape the nausea. I was not able to eat or drink anything and which would result in severe dehydration. I couldn't cook, or clean, or take care of myself properly yet, despite any of this, I was hopeful and looking forward to seeing my little bundle of joy after giving birth. I was treated for dehydration several times in the hospital, as this is main treatment plan. The other options are a choice of three medications to manage the nausea which I refused for fear of harming the baby.
Having this disease robbed me from enjoying the experience of being pregnant. My hope is to get the word out about this disease and to put an end to the needless suffering by finding the cause and the cure for HG.
Quality of Life for Mother-to-Be with HG
