Thank you for all your kind words and support guys. I'm praying this video blesses someone out there the way so many HG videos blessed me during such a difficult time.

I’ve never felt more seen. I had HG for both of my pregnancies. It’s one of the more traumatic things I’ve experienced. Thank you for sharing.

Back in 2001 I had this horrific condition. Lost 30 pounds in my first trimester. I puked every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day. PTSD around this is real. There was no youtube at the time, so I had to try and find information online through forums, etc....and it was really hard. There just wasn't much out there at the time. Thankfully I found a couple of women who had gone through it that were supportive, but I was essentially alone in it. I am thankful there are so many more resources out there now! This condition is the reason I only have one child. It's that bad...there was no way I was going through that again.

I had HG with my first, and now I am pregnant with my second, it has struck again. I am rewatching this video because nobody in my life understands. Watching someone else speak about it, soothes me so much. Nikki, this video is a Godsend. Thank you.

Hey my dear I just wanted to let you know that I was praying for you the entire time. it breaks my heart hearing everything that you have gone through and I’m so so happy that now you’re on the other side. you’re not alone and thank you for sharing all of this valuable knowledge with other women.

Girl.. I can relate so much to this video. I had HG all 4 pregnancies the entire pregnancy. It is so traumatic and lonely. I always felt so ungrateful because I really disliked being pregnant. I am so grateful for my kids and being able to get pregnant but definitely extremely hard

[inahollmann]

I was literally crying during your video. It definitely sounds like my story. I have two girls and in both pregnancies I had HG and was even hospitalized for weeks, because I couldn't keep anything down. Now I'm pregnant again (we knew it would be bad again) and I feel sooo bad. I'm just 9 weeks along but the thoughts of 'how am I going to do this the whole time' is so present. And the part of being so thirsty and not being able to satisfy that thirst I feel so much right now.
I miss family life as I'm staying almost all my time in my room.
It feels good to know that one is not alone with it.
Thanks for sharing your story ❤️

Hi Nikki, oh my goodness, HG was an experience I can’t explain. I felt like a different person during my pregnancy and I was in a dark place and felt guilty for not being happy with my pregnancy. No one understands unless you went through it. My heart goes out to anyone going through it. Even my husband was traumatized seeing me suffer everyday. Thank you for sharing your story. During my hospital stays I would watch and read about other women’s HG stories and that gave me a little bit of hope.

Just gave birth and my HG disappeared immediately ❤

[WhatAudryEats]

Literally my HG was gone as soon as they pulled the baby out! But I went through it again because I wanted a second baby but I’ll do it again, and that makes me soo sad because I wanted more kids. It was so debilitating, depressing, and I couldn’t eat anything for 9 months which made me have other health issues 😢 we don’t even think my body would be able to recover if there ever was a next time.

[safiahzimmer]

My HG was so bad in my third pregnancy. I was so sick even in bed the whole time. But since I have other kids I have to do stuff. I was very weak because I can't get anything down my throat even plain water. It'll goes back up and out seconds after I ingest it. Thank goodness it slowly disappears in second trimester and I was able to replenish myself a little bit.

Had severe hg with two pregnancies, my first was born at 32 weeks, the second unfortunately ended in a loss at 21 weeks earlier this year after suffering with horrible HG, I know that the awful hg played a part in the loss, I want a second baby so bad but the thought of going through HG a third time is so scary to me and the chance of possibly going through another loss on top of it.

[amjean]

Hi Nikki 🩷 I love how open and honest you are about real life things like this. I had this with my son and it was the worst. Love you and hope you and your family are all doing well ❣️❣️❣️

Thank you for sharing your experience. For me, with my first, I kept feeling super nauseous well past my 1st trimester and kept waiting for that magical week I’d feel better. When I mentioned it to my midwife, she sadly just kind of brushed me off as a newbie, first time mom being dramatic over a bit of nausea. For her, bc I didn’t actually throw up, I couldn’t have HG. I didn’t throw up only bc my body’s self defence mechanism against throwing up was to sleep so I’d sleep every 1.5 hrs to avoid throwing up. And it wasn’t something I chose. It was absolutely debilitating. After some weeks and more complaining, she finally offered pills in a “you’re taking the easy way out of what’s normal and expected for pregnant people”. That finally helped calm the nausea down but my appetite was gone basically till week 30. I lost over 40lbs during pregnancy and it was only till my 2nd pregnancy that I realized I had HG first time round.

2nd time, I was more confident and stool up for myself. This time my new midwife actually believed me and supported me. Made the world of a difference emotionally.

Videos like this help women see the various spectrum of symptoms and therefore equipe them to advocate for themselves. Thank you ❤

I can't even imagine how traumatic your pregnancy was. I have emetaphobia and would never get pregnant. I'm so glad you are all healthy now. 😊

[AshleyMarie.]

HG was traumatizing. It’s so frustrating when people who never had it don’t understand and just try to relate to you .. or worse, can barely care to understand what you actually went through and judge you making you feel weak and like you are clearly just lying about what you went through.. but I nearly died. Vomit after vomit, weeks and weeks in bed, weight loss, dying to chug a drink but you literally, physically cannot. I threw up until delivery. I feel like people have no idea what it is really like. It was absolutely traumatic.

[Reqreationalife]

I tried unisom with my HG pregnancy and had a very similar experience afterwards. I tried Zofran for 3 weeks or so and I ended up being allergic to it. So I had to get off of that. I would never get it again. I remember how much I would desire to drink a cap full of water. It was horrible until the day I gave birth. I sobbed after my first meal and big fat ice water at the hospital.

[kailaleebabineau]

I had the same experience when getting an IV! I couldn't eat or drink anything for two days. I finally went in for an IV, feeling like I'm so weak and dramatic, but then instantly felt better and was able to eat and drink. Fortunately I only needed that one.

[hannahmoconnor]

I have 5 kids HG with all of them, thankfully only into the second trimester. I agree that my two girls pregnancies were harder. I did take medications as I had to be able to take care of my kids. It didn’t take all of it away I was still nauseous but I wasn’t having to be in bed all day everyday.

[Jannafayeco]

Thank you for sharing!! My story is very similar to your but mine went to 25 weeks vs the whole time. I don’t know how you did that 😭 we’re getting ready to have our 5th child and I’m so nervous to relive it all 😫

[hellosaiday]

This was me in 2021, from the 2nd to 6th month of my pregnancy. I remember the feeling so vividly.. I was 80kg when i was pregnant, on my 5th month i was already 50kg..i lost so much weight.
