Isn't is a miracle that we even bring these babies into the world?! They are sooo worth it though!!

You are the strongest person I know!<BR/>I love how your DH kept it all in perspective and even kept you laughing... what a great guy! <BR/>When I get mad, sad, complaining, whatever, Damien starts throwing out the Japanese and we both start rolling on the ground... Not sure why, but it sounds funny.Chelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346148673733355074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062419.post-28278180668568389352007-08-16T14:16:00.000-06:002007-08-16T14:16:00.000-06:00You might want to try taking some magnesium to see...You might want to try taking some magnesium to see if that helps. Magnesium and calcium are two minerals that help regulate bowel function. Calcium increases the probability of constipation, and Magnesium looser stools. Start with low doses and gradually build up and see what happens. Just and idea that worked for me.Tigersuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375000801423259917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062419.post-36025436383944842642007-08-15T16:01:00.000-06:002007-08-15T16:01:00.000-06:00I didn't know about the Reglan side effect and sta...I didn't know about the Reglan side effect and started taking it about the same time that my insurance company suddenly said that I wasn't supposed to be insured since January. It was July. I'd already had eight hospital visits. Fortunately, I didn't take Reglan for very long because I didn't feel like it was helping. And the insurance company happily kept me covered after we got a lawyer.<BR/>I am glad that you have been able to take other meds. Pretty much every med except phenergan and zofran (8mg) made me worse than I already was.<BR/>Great tip on the constipation thing. I could only survive on zofran and would sit on the toilet for thirty minutes, rocking back and forth, trying to get something out.<BR/>I am so glad you are starting to feel better, that is great, great, great! Just remember to take it EASY and don't overdo it!! Everytime I felt better I'd overdo it and pay for that one afternoon for the next three days.<BR/>And can I say one thing? GOD BLESS YOU! I had HG (is that obvious?) with my first and only child. And she will be my ONLY child (unless we decide to adopt one day).<BR/>So God bless you and know you're still in my prayers.lonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13291143891151479432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062419.post-27402243952396938532007-08-14T22:41:00.000-06:002007-08-14T22:41:00.000-06:00Thanksgiving...sounds about right!

I spent 2 months of my last pregnancy in the hospital with severe dehydration--so I know some of what you're going through. <BR/><BR/>I remember when I delivered one baby and the doctor held her up and said, "Look mom, no more nausea!!!"<BR/><BR/>I will keep you in my prayers.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15699747294702088605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26062419.post-91037700224454874112007-08-14T18:34:00.000-06:002007-08-14T18:34:00.000-06:00Hang in there-you can make it.

A friend happened to mention the side effect and I got off but fast.<BR/><BR/>On the potassium thing, if you don't want to take Klor-Con (a prescribed elephant pill)eat the food you can handle, like potatoes, bananas, tomatoes (if you can manage tomato juice, the WalMart brand is cheap, yummy and low sodium compared to others). I have a dangerously low Potassium count, and start every day with a big glass of that. It helps me get started on a better note. <BR/><BR/>Some other high potassium foods are here:<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/2xe5md<BR/><BR/>I suffered some of the same issues you are having til week 30 in my pregnancies as well, so I'm praying for you. <BR/><BR/>If I can do anything to help, really- ask.<BR/><BR/>Oh- and thanks for the tip on the constipation thing. I'll check with my nephrologist to see if that is healthy for me. The prescribed stuff he gives me? My system laughs at it.
