154. I suffered with this

Tue Dec 4, 2012, 12:23 PM

Dec 2012

I was 128 pounds when I got pregnant with my first child.I suffered from this condition for 6 months during pregnancy. I was miserable. I spent more time in the hospital than at home. Couldn't eat or hold down a glass of water.My Dr told me the baby was in danger and we could lose her.I remember just before the start of this illnesses my Dr asked me why I was losing so much weight.I just thought it was normal morning sickness. But they found out it was more. I lost 85 pounds during the pregnancy. I think at the beginning of my last trimester I started holding down food and fluids. I was getting better and gaining weight. I had some difficulty during delivery but all went well.Had a baby girl just a little under weight at birth. Now she is 19 in college
