Too scared to try for 3rd pregnancy.

Hi everyone.

Iv had 2 pregnancies (2nd one make it, was planned and is 17months old with a HUGE personality).

With my first i had an extreme form of Hyperemesis Gravidarum which we didnt know of we just let me lay there all grey skinny till i was no longer with child :(

The 2nd time i had tried a year after the end of the first and i fell pregnant first time but once again i got HG yet still didnt know of it i had what turned out to be a new midwife who told me to suck it in really and i kept trying to smile i didnt want to complain but i told her everything i was going through but didnt get admited to hospital until around in last Tri i was sick and the coughing brought on very early contractions so the doctors made me go to the hospital and called up the midwife to make her get her butt over (she had been saying she was busy seeing her other client at home visits). 2 times i was in the hospital in the last couple months one nurse looked like she was going to cry when she saw i wasnt able to put food in my own mouth properly.



Is there any sort of specialist that i can see and get tests done to get an idea if it would happen the 3rd time around? I seperated from the workaholic/didnt want to even hug me father of my daughter and and with a previous partner whom we always knew we would have a family since we first met (we were 20 at the time haha! boy time flies).

If it were to happen again i will not be having another child and it breaks my heart. We know ill die next time if it happened, im only 42kgs normally was 46 went down to 39 when preg 154cm so you get an idea of how very tiny i am my daughter is half my size hehehe.

I havent proof read this as i have bad vision still bit weak at times. Many thanks, sorry for my rant.

You know you'll die? Forgive me for being blunt, but that's perhaps a little extreme?

It sounds like you've had a horrible time of it, and caution is a good thing. I'd consult someone who knows about this kind of stuff (an obstetrician?) and who has access to your medical notes, and take it from there.

Sorry Hopes I have to say also that it's true that people can die from HG (from organ failure) and with Ashley being so small and having HG so extreme it's a real and true concern for her.
