Joanne’s HG Reality
I lost my daughter at 26 weeks and suffered from many complications: preeclampsia, hemorrhage, infection/sepsis, premature delivery, severe dental damage, damage to my throat/stomach, PMADs, PTSD, Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, gastroparesis, and cardiac complications.
Chelsey’s HG Reality
The HER Foundation has helped me by being a voice for me. If it wasn’t for HER, I would not be able to cope with this difficult pregnancy.
Kristina’s HG Reality
“If I wasn’t pregnant, nurses and doctors would treat this like a real problem and not something I just need to nibble my way through,” says Kristina. Hyperemesis Gravidarum must be recognized and treated to improve outcomes.
Amrita’s Hyperemesis Gravidarum Reality
On my first Mother’s Day, I commemorated my suffering of 271 days by photographing you, my child, with 1/4 of the medications I had to take to function at barely 50%. I love you kid: your bright eyes, gummy smile, and nonsensical chatter. Thank you for making me a mother.
Vanessa’s HG Reality and Loss
HG robs women of the joy of a healthy pregnancy, and HG robs families of a mom, a sister, and wife. HG destroys society with the expense and burden of caring for someone.
Hannah’s #HGreality
I knew nearly nothing about hyperemesis, even after my ER diagnosis. The HER website helped educate me about symptoms and how to approach medical professionals. HER helped alleviate some concerns about medications.
Danielle’s HG Journey
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.
Words That Trigger in the HG Community
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.”
Queeneth Shares a Beautiful Message of Thanks
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.
Tala Shares #HERstory
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.
