Guest guest Posted January 14, 1999 Report Share Posted January 14, 1999 My let down always lasts between 30 seconds to a minute It has gone down since has nursed less and less. If I am engorged (as this morning) it did hurt for a while. But as soon as the milk is in... it stops... and I sigh... not that it happens too much to me anymore.... goodluck!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 1999 Report Share Posted January 14, 1999 Kristi.... hey, I also had hyperemesis. By the time I was 8 weeks preg I had lost 30 pounds, was in ketosis and they thought my kidneys were shutting down. I was hospitalized 4 times and went home with a picc line on zofran 3 x's a day and 3000 ml of fluid 2 x's a day (for 8 weeks!). I remained nauseous the whole preg but the vomiting stopped. I know what you mean. We intend on waiting till is 5 years old for the next one. I can't take the risk of getting so sick with a little one at home. Even though I do want another little one soon!

I think I had this with my last pregnancy, although it was not specifically diagnosed.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 1999 Report Share Posted January 14, 1999 Then maybe that is not was what I had. I had almost no morning sickness early in the pregnancy. Mine started at 26 weeks!!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 1999 Report Share Posted January 15, 1999 : I dont' know about , but with me, it gave me hot flashes, weakened me so much I coudn't stand up without assistance the first day and for the following three days I couldn't even get out of bed. I was very sick, which isn't good considering I was always dehydrated, and my me very irratable. My doctor was very happy not be on call for the rest of my hosp. I cursed her up and down.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 1999 Report Share Posted January 15, 1999 <<Really, really, REALLY bad morning sickness ... more like " all day " vomiting to the point where some moms need to be hospitalized due to dehydration.>> I had home health care during my pregnancy with Nick because of hyperemisis. I had a heparin lock and at night I would hook myself up to an iv bag while I slept. It kept me out of the hospital and i did it for about 6 weeks. too many iv sites to even remember! ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 1999 Report Share Posted January 15, 1999 <<Preterm labor was at 34 weeks. 1 week of magsulfate.>> I personally think magnessium sulfate is the worst drug known to women kind!!! i had it twice during my pregnancy with the twins and 3 with hospitlizations w/Nick. After the first time I knew what to expect and when the nurse would say " Okay, Dr. B says we have to give you a bolus of mag and start the drip " I would fall into tears. It is truly the worst. ~~~~reliving very bad memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 1999 Report Share Posted January 15, 1999 << It still could have been hyperemesis. I jsut never got rid of the morning sickness. Some women don't get morning sickness until their second trimester. So, you prolly did have it. Hugs Kristi>> It is considered hyperemisis when medical intervention is needed. Either because mom is severly dehydrated or because of IUGR. Alot of moms suffer thru naseau but can still manage to continue consumption of calories and nutrients. It's the moms that can't keep water down or loose weight and can't keep calories down that need the help from meds or iv fluids. ~~~~feeling like high risk pregnancy queen...had it all!!!

Then they give you the bolus, a large amount before the slow drip, and you feel this awful heat overcome your body and it feels like being posessed. Your legs feel like jiggly jello, it's difficult to move because mag affects all the smooth muscles in your body, not just your uterus. They have you doing breathing exercises to make sure your lungs stay clear. It's just awful. ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 1999 Report Share Posted January 15, 1999 : Mag Sulfate can be used to stop contractions but it doesnt' always work. If they gave you pit to induce, Mag won't do diddly to stop contractions. It may slow them down but won't stop them. My Doctor explained to me when I went on it that it might not stop my contractions, in which case she was prepared to deliver my baby. Thank goodness it worked.
