I have a friend who went full term whilst suffering with HG, we live in Monterey and incedentaly my husband went to USC. I shall speak to her and see if she wishes to help in your study.

Every person counts! We are at 550 participants but need 1,000. Thank you for referring your friend!

I had HG during both my pregnancies. The second time around was much worse, enough to make us decide we couldn't have any more kids. I had to get fluids on a few occasions, and had an infusion pump of Reglan in my leg. I was very fortunate to not need anything past that. My mother and sister never had this. My grandmother had once told me that she had the same sickness. My heart goes out to the women who are able to go through this disease multiple times.

I'm hearing my story through your voice. I didn't lose my son because of Hyperemesis, but I'm SURE that is why my son has a severe speech delay. I got pregnant again when my first son was 15 months. And it happened again. I had Hyperemesis 5 or 6 weeks into my pregnancy. I was put on a Zofran pump and I felt almost normal again. My second son is "normal." I would like to try one more time for girl... but I'm scared to throw up again. I'm scared of going through that emotional turmoil again.

I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant and have been suffering from HG since 5 weeks. If you're still researching and need more samples I would be happy to participate as a cure is so badly needed. I was in the hospital 3 times between 5-10 weeks, but I'm currently on a Zofran Pump and IV fluid in the home, and I don't feel like i'm dying as long as I stay in bed. I feel so badly for other victims that have it even worse than I.

This is my first pregnancy & I am going through HG as I'm writing this. I am completely traumatized. Funny thing is I don't want our baby to be an only child like me. BUT a lot of women say you get it with each pregnancy. :( please find a cure.

GOOD LUCK with your study! I had HG and I VOWED to NEVER get pregnant again! I had a nurse come to my home and set me up with an IV in my thigh and ZOFRAN! It slowly but surely worked! I stopped having symptoms by my fifth month. I gvae birth to a HEALTHY 9lb. BABY GIRL!!! lol

I have HG and am 15 weeks .... I have been out of work for 10 weeks, in hospital 4 weeks of that, put on tpn a month ago and continue that with 6 different prescription drugs. It is extremely horrible, something you just can not even begin to imagine, it changes your life!! This is my FIRST AND LAST pregnancy! I am glad to see someone is studying this to find a cure!

I had HG with my first pregnancy when I was 18. By the 5th month I was able to keep food down but had a very difficult pregnancy even after the vomiting stopped. I was told by my ob/gyn that it was highly unlikely that I would have HG in any future pregnancies. But since then I've been pregnant 3 more times and have had HG EVERY time!!!!!
