Hyperemesis Gravidarum
I had a Dr.'s appointment today. I wasn't prepare to go in and have my brain absorb a whole new world of knowledge about this thing called Hyperemesis.
"Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. It is generally described as unrelenting, excessive pregnancy-related nausea and/or vomiting that prevents adequate intake of food and fluids. If severe and/or inadequately treated, it is typically associated with:
* loss of greater than 5% of pre-pregnancy body weight (usually over 10%)
* dehydration and production of ketones
* nutritional deficiencies
* metabolic imbalances
* difficulty with daily activities"
As written on http://www.helpher.org a site I strongly recommend visiting. I have not been able to pull myself away.
It's nice having some answers now... but now I feel like I am stuck in this whole new world of emotions, symptoms, and feelings all alone.
This is just one more hurdle in life that I will apparently be tracking here.
