| I will try my hardest to make it to meetings. I want to do whatever I can do to help women with hg. You said you had it with three children. How far apart are your children. I do want to have another baby but I am so scared to get pregnant, my daughter is 15 months old. With all of the sickness, she is too young to understand why mommy can't play with her or if I have to go in the hospital again. I get upset when I think about it because I probably won't have another baby until Michaela is around three or four. I really did not want my children to be that far apart. How did you do it? |

hi stephanie, sorry its taken so long to respond! with three kids and a baby, things are often hectic here, of course.
i am trying to promote the group in more places online and locally, so we can get more women and then decide on a good place to have meetings.
none of my pregnancies were really planned, so i just kinda rolled with the punches each time. i have endured many hospitalizations, and about every medicine or herb out there to manage my HG. I just got my tubes tied on halloween because i know i cannot handle any more pregnancies. I have already lost one child to the disease, and my children really suffered through this last pregnancy when i was unable to do anything but stay in bed.
(my children were born june 2000, oct 2002, (i lost a baby on xmas day 2003) and june 2007...so they are close and then spaced farther)
i think the key to managing an HG pregnancy with older kids is to have a MASSIVE support system in place and to have a treatment plan in place AHEAD of time.
