This is the first day of my life.

Hi.

August 19th, 2009

So, I’m having a problem.

I understand I put a lot of personal information on the interwebs. A blog is basically a public diary and I do appreciate the support of people who read it, regardless of if I know them or not.

I write a lot about my struggles with pregnancy, parenting and especially hyperemesis, which at this point consumes my life.

Hyperemesis is something I struggled with throughout my first pregnancy and as I am going through this pregnancy I find it has worsened 10 fold.

I write a lot of detail on this matter because I feel like this disease (because it is one) doesn’t get much attention. When I explain it to people they say “oh, you’ve got morning sickness” No. It’s not morning sickness. It’s hell.

I have several readers that I don’t know personally and I can assume that maybe they found this blog or read this blog because they can relate and it makes them feel better about what they are going through.

Most people cannot identify with what I feel. Luckily most of you never will. My pregnancies have been probably the worst parts of my life. I have never felt such pain, sickness or depression. Support means everything. But judgement? It doesn’t help.

I’d appreciate for the sake of my sanity and for readers who may be here for support wth their own hyperemesis that supportive comments when it comes to pregnancy and sickness, drs, meds etc be the only thing that is left.

You can say whatever you’d like when I’m talking about soemthing less important.
