About us
Hyperemesis Ireland was founded in 2017 by a small group of women affected by hyperemesis, and proactive healthcare professionals with an interest in the condition.
Our aims are as follows:
- To provide information and support to women and families affected by hyperemesis gravidarum in Ireland.
- To provide information that informs and educates healthcare professionals about care and treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum
- To raise public awareness about hyperemesis gravidarum, its impacts and available treatments, through media liaison and public engagement
- To support and encourage research into hyperemesis gravidarum
Hyperemesis Ireland is predominantly focused on those of us with extreme symptoms of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy known as hyperemesis gravidarum. However, the charity recognises that there is a wide spectrum of pregnancy sickness symptoms, and provided information and support to anyone effected by nausea and vomiting of pregnancy regardless of severity and/or diagnosis.
You can view our annual reports to the Charities Regulator here.
As of 2024, Hyperemesis Ireland is a member of the National Women's Council of Ireland. We are aligned with their values of inclusivity and diversity, including self-definition of gender identity. If you are a trans or non-binary person suffering with HG, you are welcome! Please read here for details on accessing our support group or reaching out to us directly.
