weight loss first trimester

[babyness]

Normally weight loss would be a bonus for me but in pregnancy its scary. Ive been suffering from hyperemesis 9wks now and ive lost 20lb since being pregnant! From being overweight Im now at the other end of the normal bmi range and worried about my baby. Seeing the midwife this morning and have a strong feeling im going to end up in hospital again as im struggling to keep anything down despite trying medication. Ive literally tried everything and feeling a little helpless and out of control in this as im desparate to eat and drink but I cant xx Any shared experiences would be helpful please xx

My SIL's friend ended up losing 19lbs even at the end of her pregnancy, she had to get a feeding tube...but it turned out okay, she recovered and the baby is healthy

Thankyou Jaci1024 I have been perscribed odanestron UK which is Zofran in the US. The doctor scared me a little and explained it hasnt been tested enough in the UK and said its 'off label' but ive got to do something now as its getting ridiculous I havent kept down anything today. Thanks again for your help xx

Ask doctor to put you on something called Zofran it's an anti nausea medication. Safe ti take when pregnant. It is used a lot for chemotherapy patients. I had the same problem. I have 11 weeks left and I have lost 9 lbs. Not as bad as you but trust me that medication is a lifesaver.

HG is hard work!! I feel for you aliar everyday is a struggle and because people dont understand it makes things harder. Im up at this silly hour being sick again and just burst into tears. Longing for the day I can look back on all this holding my baby knowing it was all worth it. That day will come, hang on in there xx

I'm having same prob. Lost so much weight. Only vomiting about 4 times a day but I'm also having diarrhoea about 4 times a  day too. Also been in and out of hospital. Everyone around me is losing patience with my sickness - like I have any control. I feel so miserable and weepy :(

[babyness]

Thank you both, mash potato is on my menu too and I know the emotional feeling when you try to eat. This is my second pregnancy, had HG on my first but not this bad. I have given up attempting to eat today but I know your GP is right and im going to try something now and try and pull myself together xx thank you so much xx bad times today xx

My sister had the same thing through two of her pregnancies. The main concern was dehydration so she was constantly in and out of hospital with both. Although I don't know your particular circumstances, she had two beautiful, healthy baby girls. Wishing you the best, I know it isn't easy!!

Hope the vomiting will pass through.

I was the same. I wouldnt be able to keep nothing down was vomiting an average of 12 times a day to the point id vomit blood. I lost a lot of weight to. Mine lasted till around 24 weeks. The only thing I found I could keep some down of was roast patatoes or mash patatoes. It was tough, I would litrally be crying when I would eat because I knew it would all be out within 10 mins. I couldnt bare eating at one point but my mum made sure I did and dr told me even if u vomit try and eat something.
