March is Blood Clot Awareness Month.
The risk of clotting or embolism increases due to pregnancy and is exacerbated by dehydration, malnutrition, and immobility due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum. HER research finds that HG patients have an 8-fold increased risk of blood clots after an HG pregnancy compared to controls.
