I guess I owe anyone who actually reads this a wee bit of an apology...I've been busy, and sick, and busy while sick, and sick of being busy, as well as being sick of being sick!
They started me on Reglan at my last appointment. Now's the time for everybody to freak out, right?
Wrong. Those commercials you see are warning against people who have used Reglan for an extended period of time (years) and it causes tardive dyskinesia. Google it.
There are absolutely no adverse effects on baby :) I made sure I asked when she prescribed it, then I did some research of my own!
But anywhooooo. The Reglan was amazing, for a few weeks. I finally was able to eat without feeling like a stuffed cow for 8 hours afterwards, and FINALLY had an appetite! AANNNNDDDD (drum roll) I didn't throw up for a whole week! Which was something non of my other anti-emetics had managed to boast.
aaaaaaa-mazing.
But in hyperemesis world all good things must come to an end and this applies more so than anything with medications. It stopped working.
Don't get me wrong. I'm doing better than I -would- be without any medication. But it wasn't the amazing magical cure I was hoping for. WOOOOE is me. So I'm sickly this week. This week will go down on the books as a "bad" week. Not the worst by far...just....bad. I guess what made it so bad is I got my hopes up that I was finally going to be able to function like a normal human who doesn't carry a puke bag in the car "just in case" and doesn't always travel in the right lane so that pulling over quickly is always an option....
and who isn't required to carry a toothbrush, toothpaste and listerine in her purse....
At least I'm a hygenic super puker! Right?
Ugh.
Lets talk about something fun!! [and not disgusting]
We finally have bedding picked out! I ordered it from BabySuperMall.com Amazing awesome site.
And we also have a name picked out, FINALLY. But guess what? It's a secret! OHHHHH! I'm so dirty.
The baby's name won't be told until delivery day :) "Sowwy!" It's just something that Dustin and I have "just for us"
Who knows, maybe we'll cave. My husband does have quite the gossip-mouth.
