May 15th is International HG Awareness Day, and the international HG community has chosen the theme: HG Reality. You can help the HER Foundation raise awareness and educate about your HG Reality!
Dr. Marlena Fejzo, HER Research Adviser and Board of Directors, was invited to speak at February’s Keystone Conference on Maternal-Fetal Crosstalk in Santa Fe, NM. Dr. Fejzo presented “Evidence the placenta and appetite hormone GDF15 causes nausea and vomiting of pregnancy” and met with experts on maternal/fetal health from around the world.
Join us November 6-7, 2024 in Ventura, California (near LA), for two days of engaging with top scientists and clinicians specializing in HG management.

In 2023, we will continue our support of families across the globe, continue our groundbreaking research, advocate to change policy to improve maternal and fetal outcomes, and launch an exciting new education program!
The HER Foundation has accomplished a lot in 2022! We are thankful for the support of our donors and community and want to share the highlights that made this HER’s best year yet! This is what 22 years of Helping Generations survive Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) looks like.
