So important to discuss this in #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Women are often hidden - it's hard to go out when you are being sick all the time. This is not a rare condition - it affects 1 to 3 in 100 pregnancies (NHS data). It needs to be taught in schools & stories shared
It's Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week - A week-long campaign dedicated to mental health problems before, during and after pregnancy, organised by @PHPUK. Was your mental health affected during your pregnancy? Let us know. #HGAwareness #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek

I’m proud of Jess’ family today and I’m proud of @HGSupportUK. People are becoming aware of Hyperemesis Gravidarum and I’m proud to play a very small part in that. Jess and Elsie’s legacy will live on

The nausea and vomiting that often define the first trimester of pregnancy are primarily caused by a single hormone, according to a new study. The discovery could lead to better treatments, including rare, life-threatening cases of it, researchers said.nyti.ms/481TMGH
