Pregnancy Sickness is often a welcome and exciting sign of early pregnancy. But knowing what is 'normal' and what's NOT can be hard to navigate.
In today's episode I am joined by Dr Caitlin Dean, Nurse Specialist Researcher into HG & Chairperson of the charity Pregnancy Sickness Support. Caitlin & I have worked together on many contexts over the years and this topic is one very close to my heart, having suffered with HG twice myself.
In this episode we explore:

  • What's the difference between 'morning sickness' and 'hyperemesis'
  • What treatments & medication are available & their safety
  • What are some of the common side effects of HG or the medications used to treat it.
  • The common barriers to care
  • How to advocate for yourself/your partner
  • Where to turn to for support
  • How HG impact mental health
  • How to prepare for a second HG pregnancy

Do share with anyone that you need to understand what your pregnancy sickness experience was like!
