Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of morning sickness that can be life-threatening for both mother and baby. It causes extreme nausea, vomiting, weight loss and dehydration. Women with HG may be hospitalized and need IV fluids and nutrients. Babies are at risk for preterm birth and developmental issues. The condition can have long term physical and emotional impacts on women and their ability to have future healthy pregnancies. Support groups like the HER Foundation provide resources and hope for women suffering from this condition.
