SUMMARY:World Folic Acid Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:January 1-7 marks World Folic Acid Awareness Week. Shedding light on the significance of folic acid (FA) in our lives\, particularly for those with HG. \nWhat do you know? \n\nFolic acid is the synthetic form of folate (vitamin B9).\nEnriched foods\, such as cereals\, incorporate folic acid.\nMost people do not get enough folate in their diet which increases health risks.\nObtaining sufficient folate from food proves challenging\, necessitating the use of a pill.\nThose who may become pregnant should take it daily.\nFA pills are critical during the first trimester to prevent defects in the baby’s brain and spine\, and throughout pregnancy to reduce pregnancy complications.\nAt least 600 mcg per day is required during pregnancy\, but more may be helpful during HG.\nMost prenatal vitamins have FA\, but the pills are easier to tolerate when sick.\nFA can be given by IV and may be needed when intake is limited for more than a few weeks.\nThose with the gene variants\, like MTHFR\, may need active or methylated folate. (Methylfolate)\n#WFAAW24\n\nAdditional Links:\n\nPreparing for HG\nReceive Support\nClinical Tools\nCurrent Research Opportunities \nVolunteer with HER\nShare your HG Story

SUMMARY:Maternal Health Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:On Maternal Health Awareness Day\, we join ACOG and the maternal health community to highlight maternal morbidity and mortality\, and its consequences for the next generation. \nHyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)* is not morning sickness. HG is a serious medical condition with a far-reaching impact that can last\, not just for the term of a pregnancy\, but for the remaining lives of mother and child(ren). Mothers can suffer from include neurological disorders\, gastrointestinal damage\, malnutrition and dehydration\, and even organ failure. Children can suffer from low birth weight\, intracranial hemorrhage (caused by vitamin K deficiency)\, intrauterine growth retardation\, stillbirth\, brain damage\, infant disorders (neurological\, respiratory\, and circulatory)\, and abnormal development of some organs. One in three babies does not make it to term. \nHowever\, while the devastating complications of HG are numerous\, the silver lining is that a great many of them are preventable with timely\, effective\, adequate medical care. To this end\, the HER Foundation launched the 1 MOM Is 2 Many campaign. \nLearn more about how you can help eliminate preventable complications of HG. \n  \nHG tools for Maternal Health Awareness Day: \n\nClinical Tools to understand how to manage HG treatments.\nGet Help Now\nAbout HG for Family\nMaternal & Child Outcomes research\nSupport Groups
