✅️ HG can have lasting physical and mental effects, which is why proper treatment and support is so important.

✅️ Mental health tips are valuable, but you can't think your way out of a physiological condition. Rest can help HG symptoms.
✅️ The most common outcome of a HG pregnancy is a healthy baby, but HG can increase risks including preterm birth, growth restriction, and pre-eclampsia.

✅️ HG has specific diagnostic criteria
✅️ HG often improves in mid-pregnancy but for ~20% lasts for the whole pregnancy
✅️ Ginger is useless for HG - it can't replace medical treatment
✅️ There are several safe medication options for HG, many of which your GP can prescribe. Untreated HG can be dangerous

Propaganda we're not falling for: HG is just bad morning sickness HG will get better by 12w Ginger treats HG Medications to treat HG are too risky Cariban is the only medication for HG If you tried harder you'd feel better HG never affects the baby HG only affects you in pregnancy

We still hear these too often - from family, friends, even healthcare providers!

*Cariban is doxylamine/pyridoxine, first-line medication for HG in 🇮🇪. Available on medical card and Drugs Payment Scheme since Aug 2024 with any prescription and no additional approvals.

Later this month, 15th May, is HG Awareness Day and this year's theme is HGProgess.

For us, the biggest progress since last year is Cariban* being available to everyone thanks to our HG2Costly campaign.

Hyperemesis Gravidarum: when pregnancy becomes a nightmare Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is the medical name for severe sickness and vomiting during pregnancy, making it seem like a months-long battle for survival

Pregnancy can be a time of joy & anticipation, but can also feel like a relentless battle for women w/ hyperemesis gravidarum, with its persistent nausea & vomiting.

Zeinab El Dirani writes about this underfunded & deprioritised condition.
