HG Impact: Maria and Her Family
Thankful! Thankful is what I am. My babies and I survived Hyperemesis Gravidarum only because of the amazing support we received from the HER Foundation.
HG Impact: Liz
I’m pregnant with my second baby right now. My first pregnancy was a healthy, and I wasn’t expecting Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) at all!
HG Impact: Shola
I felt depressed a lot because I was dealing with my sickness by myself, but I was able to find an online support system through the HER Foundation and meet other women experiencing the same difficulties. I did not feel alone.
Why we do what we do!
The HER Foundation’s staff, clinicians and referral coordinator volunteer many hours each year to respond to thousands of emails, messages, and calls for help with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). This is core to our mission, and we want to share why we want to expand this service. Enjoy these heartwarming messages and stories.
