[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I just want to say I'm sorry you're going through this. As a fellow HG survivor it is the hardest thing I have ever endured. Many people will not understand, thinking pregnancy is something normal people can get through just fine, with no understanding of just how sick someone with HG can get. I always had to be honest because there was simply no way to hide it so I don't have much advice there. Just a general, you got this, and you're in the worst of it now, and there are people out there who have been there who are rooting for you <3[/quote]

OP here. Thank you so much for this note, and I’m so sorry you suffered through this, too. A lot of people don’t get the severity and you’re right, it’s impossible to hide, especially when you’re being hospitalized. I’m still super torn about what to do, as I’m hoping I feel better by the time my furlough period ends (ugh, please body!) and that I can just go back to work remotely and tell my boss once I’m back and able to work. But I’m not a fortune teller and my OB has cautioned me this could be the situation until the baby is born — it might not be, but it could be. Worst case scenario I lose my job and go on my husband’s insurance and job hunt after the baby is born. Financially it would be really tough, but I know how lucky it is that that’s even an option (even if it’s not a great one). I’m trying to weigh all the outcomes, but honestly am just so exhausted and sick it’s a lot to even think about.

Anyway,  thank you so much for your kind words. They brought a lot of light into this dark time <3[/quote]
