What is Hyperemesis Gravidarum?


Many times the family and friends of woman suffering from HG feel extremely helpless and frustrated because they don't know how to help. Sometimes in their frustration, they may remark that things would get better if you tried harder and weren't so sensitive.

It is normal for those around you to feel helpless and even hopeless in their inability to "make it better" for you. Encourage them to visit the Hyperemesis Education & Research (HER) Foundation website to learn how they can support you during this difficult time in your pregnancy.

DeCole tries to use her experience to help other women. "BabyFit and Hyperemesis.org have become very important to me because of the support I found from other Moms while I was going through this difficult season in my life. I can only hope that I can offer that support to someone who may need it now. You guys are important to me and together we do make a difference!"
