Well a lot of my past posts have been the boo hoo whine whine posts. I think that the more I think about it, I start to feel better. I am get paranoid at times because I don’t have symptoms of Hyperemesis, and like any paranoid pregnant momma I freak out. The sad reality is that a lot of women are affected by this and they/their doctors brush it off as just simple Morning sickness. The percentage of women affected by Hyperemesis is 0.3% to 2%. That is freaking my odds that I have this, I mean really though. Some of the things I have learned is that when Hyperemesis becomes severe a women can lose 5% of her pre pregnancy weight. Some women ( me four years ago) can lose up to 20% of their pre pregnancy weight. It causes me a great effort to do the simplest of things. I honestly have to say that I cannot even shower alone. I get dizzy and nearly vomit while standing in the shower.

I feel better when I tried to keep myself busy and ignore the pain. I found some really good resources and browse them regularly. Hyperemesis.org is my favorite resource it has guides and weight calculators and it provides a forum for other Hyperemesis Moms to talk.

I am telling you I cannot wait until I can stuff my face and use my pregnancy as an excuse to being fat. LOL I want to go to a buffet and try everything. Or just the simple thing like being able to drink liquids without gagging. On a whole different ramble I am updating to a new theme, so some stuff maybe out of place.
