Pregnancy, morning sickness: What it’s like to have hyperemesis gravidarum.

I threw up every single day of my pregnancy. “I wanted to die every day,” one mom who’d had HG told me. “At one point I wished I would miscarry, which still haunts me.” Jessianne, who has experienced hyperemesis in three pregnancies, said she struggles with depression each time she’s pregnant, despite never experiencing it otherwise. Another mom is planning for a future pregnancy years ahead of time by saving enough money to pay for help like a cleaning service, and cultivating a more minimalist house so there’s less to maintain in the first place. Next time around, I’ll start medications and IV treatments immediately, and I’ve already warned my mom and mother-in-law that I’m going to need them to come stay with us to help.
