Welcome to my Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) Blog! Im Michelle, from the UK and am 33 years old with 3 children

I have gone through 3 HG pregnancies and 1 HG loss and feel that there is just not enough support and awareness of this awful condition. And even less knowledge about the after effects to both mother and baby after a hyperemesis pregnancy. I decided to write this blog and share my experiences with both Hyperemesis Gravidarum and also its after effects on my health.

The hyperemesis in my 3rd pregnancy was so severe that I needed multiple interventions to keep me alive including the use of steroids, PICC Lines, Daily IV fluids, TPN and feeding tubes. In the UK some of these interventions were practically unheard of in an HG pregnancy, when I reached out for support there were so little resources and experiences available. I decided that if my story or experiences could even help just one person feel not so alone then it would be worth sharing. So here I am writing this blog; hoping that it will educate, promote awareness, validate the suffering of women with HG but most of all give hope to anyone going through this hell, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. That your suffering is not for nothing and that little bundle of joy is worth every second of this sinister condition.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice!
