While some medications target vomiting (ondansetron/Zofran), there are no medications that specifically target nausea. Some medications used to treat Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) may help reduce nausea but rarely will medications eliminate all nausea. Since there are numerous causes of nausea, treating as many as possible is most effective. This list of strategies may help reduce nausea depending on what is triggering symptoms. None works for everyone, but each may help a little.

Before discovering the HER Foundation, I felt alone and like something was wrong. After discovering a community and support, I knew I wasn’t alone. HER brings together HG sufferers and supports them.
HG isn’t the price to be paid for a healthy baby. It doesn’t have to happen in order for pregnancy to be viable, so it doesn’t have to be “worth it.”
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.
We are glad to inform you of the arrival of our son. He was born weighing 7 pounds and 3 ounces. While we are most grateful to God, we are particularly very thankful and appreciative of all of the support the HER Foundation gave us.
The HER Foundation educated me on the website and social media, and I used the HG Care app. When I was scared to take Zofran, they sent me the lastest research. HER understands, and I didn’t feel alone. One day, they will find a cure.
My entire pregnancy was traumatic, and I still suffer from PTSD due to HG. My son is now 3 years old, and we are all happy, healthy, and thriving. My husband and I made the decision early on that our son would be our one and only.
