Moment
Hyperemesis is extreme morning
sickness. I first experienced hyperemesis
when I was 5 weeks pregnant. It continued
getting worse -- it even caused me to lose
one of my twins at 9 weeks. At 16 weeks
pregnant, I found myself hospitalized,
hooked up to an IV machine due to extreme
dehydration and malnutrition caused by
hyperemesis. I hated being pregnant due to
hyperemesis; It was nothing like I had
expected.
