The worst part really was everyone trying to offer advice when they never experienced HG I wanted to take my own life it was such a struggle!! Luckily I made it through moment but moment and after many hospital stays and my son is now 9 months!!

"Have you tried ginger" I swear the amount of times i got asked this. made me wana punch something.

We call that crackering (or gingering in the UK). It can become frustrating, and Jen does a great job explaining why. Glad you like it.

Omfg same & have I tried crackers? Actually no I'm 8 months pregnant & I haven't tried crackers. Good lord how could I forgotten those? Who the coworkers saying things like "your going to regret not working when the baby comes" bc uh yeah this is a choice.. I want to be stuck in bed vomiting all day & night & never able to eat.

This condition permanently changed my life forever.

34 weeks pregnant - currently 5am & I'm been vomiting all night. I have no energy left I feel like I'm going to fall over & I can't even stomach a sip of water! This is not morning sickness!!

Congratulations on the new baby. The HER Foundation is here to help with research, resources, and support: Hyperemesis.org/tools.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Sometimes it’s helpful for friends and family to hear it from someone else, and when you’re going through HG the last thing you want to do is constantly explain yourself. I pushed myself to get through my second pregnancy, and just gave birth last month. I am officially done having kids because I could never go through having HG again. It’s so sad that a sickness can take away dreams you had of having a bigger family.

Congratulations on the new baby. So sorry about the HG and changes to your plans for your family. You are not alone. 75% of women change their plans for their family. Together, we will change the future for the next generation.

@@HERFoundation Yes we can! Praying there is some type of cure or better treatment in case my daughter gets it. My mom had HG with me and her other 3 pregnancies!

@@lilyburton5018 Looking forward to having you participate in HG Awareness Month! Would you be able to host a Facebook fundraiser in May to support our new website and ongoing research? We need everyone to share content and as many as possible organize fundraising to support our work.
