    Having babies into your 40’s and 50’s is a very African thing…. At least so I’ve seen in W Africa. I think when you’re healthy, your body keeps business as usual which is a blessing. Sorry for your HG, but CONGRATS on the new addition!!! 🎊 🎉

    First, CONGRATULATIONS to you and hubby❣️❣️❣️ Oh my dear, how well I know hyperemesis gravidarum. 😢 I even commented on another of your videos my compassion and empathy over this condition. Mine was 5 months long, requiring several hospitalizations and a visiting nurse to manage my IV ( so I wouldn't severely dehydrate). My prayers are truly with you. 🙏🏼 My visiting nurse told me stories of women committing suicide because of HG. It was indeed one of the worst periods of my life. I unfortunately lost one of my twins in utero at 5 months, though I am so grateful for the birth of my other extraordinary child. God bless you, lovely lady‼️🛐🙏🏼

    Hey, its been a long time. I commented on your channel many years ago. I have been in Namibia for the past months (did visit Angola during this time). I will be traveling to SA in a couple of days to catch my flight back to the U.S. Its always a delight for me to see serious black-american women who have returned to embrace their source of being. Very sorry to hear about your pregnancy troubles. But so good to know that you soldiered on. Great to know that you are back on your feet. More better days ahead for you and your family.

    • @humakuwah4649
      @humakuwah4649 Місяць тому

      Oh yes, I have been undergoing flu symptoms over the past four days. I decided to binge drink on tea and keep warm under extra blankets (a little portable heater as well). You have a great family here in Namibia. Namibians are generally affable.

    I'm so happy you've recovered. I had two children and suffered with HG the first 5 months in 1990 and 1997, with nobody I knew or even heard of the severe morning sickness. It was so bad that it did cross my mind to terminate it. I was hospitalized both pregnancies, severe vomitting, unable to hold drinking water, had sunk eyes, on IV's, lost a lot of weight, then gained alot back eating things that would settle my stomach until I gave birth, the easiest part considering months of agony. The very thought of pregnancy frightens me. To this day, I tell my children that they are very lucky to be here.

    Many of us became aware of this HG when Catherine, Princess of Wales ( wife of the Prince William of the UK) was pregnant with Prince George. It was stressed that HG is not the usual morning sickness. Thank you for shedding even more light on this sometimes debilitating and challenging part of pregnancy, God is good and with your supportive family, we await the arrival of the new baby.Thanks for sharing this and also the articles, which I promise to read and educate myself more. From a Jamaican in New York, who has followed you from before your wedding .

    • @AfroAmericaninAfrica
      @AfroAmericaninAfrica  Місяць тому +1

      Appreciate the interest in reading more about it and yes! I heard about Princess Catherine having HG too! And she had access to all the resources and then some! It’s so debilitating- I get queasy just typing about it 🤦🏾‍♀️ Thank you for sticking around my journey! I have lots of Jamaican friends in NY, including my best friend’s mom - you all are such good people 🙌🏾💞

    😂 Congratulations! I think I have told you before on one of your videos that I am a Namibian living abroad and I have always felt a connection to you. Maybe it is because I am from Okahao like your husband. My husband is not Namibian and your marriage video reminds me of my own. Listening to this video I realized we have more in common; we are actually born in the same year and you are also going to have your 3rd at 40 (I had my 3rd baby in January 2024) .

I hope that the HG journey gets better for you. Thankfully I did not suffer from this condition when I was preg, but I have had food poisoning on a number of occasions and can't image dealing with anything similar to that for nine months. Looming forward to your next update, whenever it comes. Take care.

HG is the worst thing I've ever experienced in life. I considered termintating during my last pregnancy. I thought God was punishing me. Take care of yourself! I couldn’t ready or write either I was so depressed all I did the whole pregnancy was watch youtube and netflix

It was without exaggeration, one of the worst experience of my life! I thought I would vomit myself to death. No one can pay me enough money to go through that again.
    I hope you can get over your HG well before your pregnancy is over so you can enjoy the last couple of months.🙏🏽
