how do you know?

you are probably asking "how do you know if you'll suffer from HG in this pregnancy?"

I suffered it when I was pregnant with my daughter and without going into my history, I can say that I know I will.

Some might think its all in my head, and by anticipating it I am setting myself up for it.

Sure... if I don't get sick, it will truely be miraculous.

I'm not sure why pregnancy has the effect on me that it has, but HG happens to others as well.

So things are in the planning stages and they are picking up.

I don't know if I will suffer from it this time... but I'm sure as hell planning for it ;)

first post

I am planning to get pregnant in July. I am so excited. But there is only one problem. When I get pregnant I suffer from HG or hyperemesis gravidarum. So I dedicate this blog to my family, my doctor, my future son or daughter and last but not least, myself. HG is horrible and can put you in a depressed state of mind.

I shall chronicle my planning and everything from that point to post partum. I am keeping track of my cycles on http://www.cyclespage.com/. I should be ovulating between july 4th and july 7th.

I have been planning for about 3 months already. The next step is insurance. I will be on my Husbands kaiser and I will soon be interviewing doctors. We are going to be making purchases to make it more comfortable for me such as a shower seat and a table I can work on in bed.

This will be a tough journey with great rewards.
