Currently PG with #3. Trying to keep anything down. Survived pregnancy with #1 and #2 thanks to IVs, Zofran, and bowls of berries from my husband.

This weekend the whole house got hit by a particularly nasty norovirus. Irrationally feeling like I need to take a pregnancy test because that's what my brain associates with violent vomiting. (Unlike pregnancy, however, I was on the mend in 24 hours.)

Examine women who experienced #HG or #NVP and their support systems. Do moms/partners have resources (family leave, $$) left to devote to the new mom and baby or were these resources depleted due to morning sickness, affecting mom's ability to stay home/bond with baby

I keep thinking of things that my ideal morning sickness #NVP study would track. My thoughts, in no particular order... 1/ https://t.co/IImSd84wOL

[morningsickmama @morningsickmama]

And I'd love to see results tracked over time and the severity of effects on daily activities taken into account. For more on the PUQE-24 scale, see https://t.co/vhMarzojNa 3/

Does experiencing #HG or #NVP affect maternal bonding with the baby? It can be hard sometimes to not resent the baby or your own body for making you feel this way. How do those feelings affect relationships after delivery?

No one talks about #morningsickness in tandem with third trimester symptoms, but here's to the morning sick mamas out there wearing depends, popping tums, sleeping upright, while still fighting the good fight to keep foods down! 💪

@natashasnatter @SpewingMummy Yes! Asking for home-health service where my husband could give me my IVs 2x a day every day for weeks and only having to go in to have them move the port when my veins went bad—HUGE difference!!!

[morningsickmama @morningsickmama]

An idea: when making a med for pregnant women who throw up, perhaps include instructions on WHAT TO DO WHEN I THROW UP THE PILL! (eg, when to retake the pill, when to half dose, when to go without)

@Lin_Manuel @lin_manuel How hard was it to cut the whispers section? Chills, every time.

My first was in the NICU for 17 days to be treated for possible meningitis from Group B strep. You'd better believe I'm taking every precaution this pregnancy https://t.co/zP43xW8TE4

Are YOU #GBSaware?

If you're expecting a baby, read the joint GBSS/RCOG leaflet at https://t.co/Ml063DtnES to find out what you need to know about #groupBStrep in pregnancy and beyond

Had a long list of to-dos that couldn't be put off any longer (nothing too strenuous--my step counter is only at 2400 for the day). So I pushed through to get everything done, and I have been paying the price all night. So impatient to be productive again!

[morningsickmama @morningsickmama]

@karisiagichuke YES to including all of this! (Also, 👎👎 to ptyalism!! I hate it!)

[morningsickmama @morningsickmama]

@Know_HG I would love to read the full text! For some reason, Twitter's not letting me DM you from my phone; I'll try from a computer when I'm feeling up to it. 😊
