SUMMARY:Prematurity Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:November is Prematurity Awareness Month. Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is one of the leading causes of prematurity and results in babies that are small for gestational age and growth restricted. \nSupport HER Foundation’s efforts to improve the care of HG mothers and prevent prematurity through research and education. \nWhat you can do to raise awareness: \n\nTalk about it. Share your story or the stories of others with your friends\, family\, and community. The more people who know about premature birth and HG\, the more likely they are to support awareness and research.\nGet involved the HER Foundation. Sign up to volunteer for the HER foundation to raise awareness of HG and premature birth. You can volunteer your time\, donate money\, or simply spread the word about our work.\nUse social media. Share information about premature birth and HG on your social media accounts. Use relevant hashtags\, such as #PrematureAwarenessMonth and #HGAwareness\, so that your posts can reach a wider audience.\n\n\n\n\nShare the Facts: \n\nPreterm birth is delivery prior than 37 weeks.\nWomen with a history of HG were likely to have an increased risk of preterm birth\, regardless of ondansetron exposure (M.S. Fejzo et al.\, 2016).\nHG is also associated with poor fetal/child outcomes including a 4-fold increased risk of preterm birth (R. Tian et al.\, 2016).

SUMMARY:Expert Insights: Nutrition During HG with Kris Mogensen
DESCRIPTION:​Join Kimber MacGibbon\, RN\, and Kris M. Mogensen\, MS\, RD-AP\, LDN\, CNSC\, for a live Instagram discussion on nutrition during hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). \nKris M. Mogensen is a registered dietitian and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician in the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Department of Nutrition. She is a national leader at ASPEN and specializes in managing parenteral (intravenous) and enteral (tube feeding) nutrition\, malnutrition\, and home infusion. \n  \nWe’ll discuss:\n\nWhen is nutritional therapy needed for HG?\nHow can we reduce the risk of complications from intravenous therapy (IV)?\nWhat are the risks of nutritional therapy for HG?\nHow is refeeding syndrome prevented?\nHow does malnutrition affect mom and baby?\n\nHyperemesis Gravidarum (HG): a potentially life-threatening pregnancy disease that may cause malnutrition\, dehydration\, and debility due to severe nausea and vomiting. It can also lead to long-term health problems for mom and baby. \nRegister to Receive Reminders \nGIVEAWAY\nOne lucky live participant will be randomly chosen to receive a special gift from us! 🎁 \n \nJoin and engage with us during our Instagram Live on Sunday\, November 19th\, 2023! \nWays to engage with us during the live: \n🙋 Ask a question!\n📝 Share a quick experience related to our topic.\n🌎 Let us know where you’re joining from!\n🤰 Share where you are in your journey. \nAfter the live\, we’ll choose someone and DM the lucky winner! Don’t miss out – see you there! \nSHARE THE HG FACTS\n\nHG\, hyperemesis gravidarum\, is a pregnancy disease marked by rapid weight loss\, malnutrition\, and dehydration due to unrelenting nausea and/or vomiting.\nHG is not the “morning sickness” of healthy\, normal pregnancies. It is a distinct diagnosis marked by severe and relentless symptoms that pose significant risks to the health of both mother and baby. Over 1/3rd of HG babies do not make it to term.\nHG babies are at increased risk for low birth weight\, small size for gestational age\, and preterm birth. In utero\, exposure to HG is linked to a 3.6-fold increased risk of emotional/behavioral & developmental disorders.\nNearly 20% of HG pregnancies are lost to therapeutic terminations\, citing “no hope for relief.” Current treatments are not adequate to prevent the termination of these planned\, wanted pregnancies.\nMothers with HG’s most severe forms can experience pneumothorax\, organ rupture\, retinal detachment and blindness\, eardrum and jaw damage\, rib fractures\, esophageal tears\, the neurological syndrome Wernicke’s encephalopathy\, or even death.\n18% of women report complete post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSS) criteria following an HG pregnancy. More than half of mothers have post-traumatic stress symptoms.\nIn 2009\, inpatient treatment for HG in the U.S. cost more than $250\,000\,000. HG is the leading cause of hospitalization in early pregnancy and is second only to preterm labor as the most common overall cause of hospitalization during pregnancy.\n\nLearn more: HG Fact Sheet \n
