HyperEmesis Gravidarum (HEG)
Let’s learn something today. What is Hyperemesis gravidarum? Hyper means ‘over’, Eremesis means ‘vomiting’ and Gravidarum means ‘pregnancy’. So when a pregnant woman is having a bad and over, nausea and vomiting, it is no more ‘morning sickness’, it is HEG or HG. (Ewah, dah macam doctor lak aku:) Kalau ada doctor yang TAK tahu benda ni, bermakna dia ada beberapa paper yang fail la:))
The cause of HEG is unknown, according to my readings (yg tak seberapa), only 0.2% to 3% only pregnancy women will have this (Wow, aku antara yang bertuah lah:p) This problem will cause of losing weight, high dehydration and ketosis.
How to know that you are having HEG? Other than frequently, extremely vomiting, it can be detected from urine test. There is one ‘bahan’ called ketone will be found in the urine. The level is 1+ to 4+. The biggest number is the highest level of ketosis (means ketone in your urine is very high). How is thing happen? Ketone is produced when your body ‘thinks’ that you are starving (even though your are not hungry). Since you cannot eat or keep vomiting, your body will start burning the fat in your body to change to energy. This process will produce ketone. So in other word, the level of ketone will determine the level of your dehydration and your starvation.
I had been hospitalized since Saturday’s nite till Monday’s evening because of HEG and ketone was found in my urine with 4+ level:( Before I went to hospital, ketone’s level was 2+. Unfortunately, bila check lagi sebelum masuk ward, it was already reached 4+. Around 11botol air masuk dlm badan aku. Aku kira sampai 8 aje, pastu dah tak larat kira. Huhu..seksa! Pergi mana2, bilik air terpaksa bawak palang besi tu. Tido pun kena berhati2, takut terbelit or tertekan tangan. Ada 1 masa tu, darah keluar banyak, sampai kena ‘flush’ (heh, ayat nurse tu, aku ikut je).
Aku terima dugaan ni walaupun semua orang ingat ni pregnancy aku yang pertama:( Doakan aku semakin kuat, sebab aku dah nak kena hantar thesis ni:((
**Extra reading: G2 – pregnancy yang kedua, P1 – anak 1 yg hidup, A0 – tiada keguguran dan lastly, D0 – tiada kematian. (hah terer tak ahkak ko ni!! <– untuk adik nisa;)
