May is Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) Awareness Month. This month, we are taking a moment to look back on all of the progress we have made and looking forward to the progress we still need to make. Whether you’ve been personally impacted by HG or simply want to support those who have, there are many ways to get involved and help make a difference. Here are five simple but powerful ways to take action:
1. Follow and share the HER Foundation on Social Media
Help amplify HG Awareness Month by using our ready-to-go social media graphics and captions! Visit our HGAM 2025 Media Center to download official images and messaging. Sharing these posts on your platforms is an easy and impactful way to educate your community and raise the visibility of Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn for the most up-to-date news and research from the HER Foundation.
2. Support or Start a Fundraiser

3. Explore and Share Our Research
Knowledge is power. Visit and share our research page to help others learn more about the science behind HG, the long-term health impacts, and how the HER Foundation is leading the way in better understanding this condition.
4. Share Our Resources
Whether it’s a downloadable provider guide, patient brochure, or survival tips, our resources page is full of valuable information. Sharing these tools with patients and providers can make a world of difference to someone struggling to get the care or validation they need.
5. Share Your HG Story
Your story matters. Sharing a personal experience with HG on social media, taking our HG Awareness Month Survey, or via the HER Foundation’s story collection helps put a human face to the statistics. It raises awareness, builds empathy, and helps others feel less alone. Stories are powerful tools for change.
