@FreeDuck,
You are absolutely right FreeDuck you are uninformed. She DID NOT have Gestational Diabetes, she had Hyperemesis which I had an extreme case of when I was pregnant with my twins. That along wit PPD, severe dehydration, your mind just does not work correctly. Fast forward 17 years one of my twins became pregnant as a high school student and she checked into adoption for her child. She was surrounded like a bunch of vultures playing extreme psychological head games pressuring a 17 year old child trying to make her feel like she was a horrible human for deciding to keep her child. We realized adoption is a big money making business. My daughter is a wonderful mother and she and my now five year old granddaughter are very happy.
Clearly the majority of y'all don't understand how debilitating this disease is. Get better prenatal care with all that money? I had it with my first child, and I can guarantee I had the best care under my doctors and nurses. Money has nothing to do with this disease. Prenatal care has nothing to do with this disease. The trauma you experience from this disease doesn't end the second you give birth. I was sick for 3 months after I had my son, so it's not like a light bulb that you can switch off. Before anyone criticizes someone who suffers with HG should learn what this disease entails. My job told me I was making up how sick I was, and ultimately, I lost my job in the end. I guarantee if any of you even had an ounce of what HG entails, you would immediately delete this idiotic responses and your opinions of better care is the solution. I was so sick I couldn't talk, look across a room, get dressed, or shower without vomiting. I went days without urination because I was so dehydrated. I lived with a zofran pump for 15 weeks that made me every day stab myself with needles to change the ports. Still 8 years later, my legs are still tender from all that medication that was pumped in my body. My pump and medication alone costs over $50,000. And that was before my weekly visits to my doctor, biweekly appointments to a maternal fetal specialist, weeks in hospitals, nutrition care, and medication that caused me thousands of dollars that my insurance would only approve for 2 days at a time. Perhaps take a lesson in not being judgemental and act like watching a Dr. Phil show or Google makes you an expert on HG.
