Hyperemesis Gravidarum

More than “morning sickness.” Real support matters.

Congratulations, first and foremost.

We understand that when you’re living with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), it can be incredibly difficult to fully celebrate your pregnancy. Severe, persistent nausea and vomiting can be exhausting, isolating, and overwhelming. Please know that you’re not alone and that support is available. We’re here to help ease your symptoms, support your body, and walk alongside you during this challenging time.

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe pregnancy-related condition characterized by persistent, excessive nausea and vomiting that goes beyond typical morning sickness. It can lead to dehydration, weight loss, electrolyte imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies, and often interferes with daily functioning and quality of life.

Unlike normal pregnancy nausea, hyperemesis gravidarum:

  • Is more intense and prolonged

  • May persist beyond the first trimester

  • Often prevents adequate intake of food and fluids

  • Frequently requires medical treatment

HG is a medical condition not a normal part of pregnancy and early, supportive treatment is essential.

Common Symptoms of Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Symptoms may vary in severity and may include:

  • Persistent, severe nausea

  • Frequent or continuous vomiting

  • Inability to keep food or fluids down

  • Significant weight loss

  • Dehydration

  • Dizziness or fainting

  • Fatigue and weakness

  • Headaches

  • Sensitivity to smells

  • Reduced urine output

If left untreated, these symptoms can escalate and lead to serious complications.
