How I managed my hyperemesis gravidarum 🤰🏽

I basically lived in the bathroom during the beginning of my pregnancy because of my severe morning sickness. It was so bad that I was hospitalized for having hyperemesis gravidarum.

After being hospitalized, I felt so much better but when I was released from the hospital I now needed to make sure that I was managing my hyperemesis gravidarum well so that I didn’t need to be hospitalized so here are some things that’s helped.

1. Small, Frequent Meals:

Instead of having the normal 3 meals a day, I was eating like 6 meals a day & having small snacks in between as well. The key was to always keep food in my belly. If my stomach was the smallest bit empty, it would trigger everything again.

2. Staying hydrated:

All I drank during my entire pregnancy was iced water. It is so easy to become dehydrated during pregnancy and can be so bad with hyperemesis gravidarum. So keeping hydrated was a big help!
