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 women with extreme symptoms of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy known as hyperemesis gravidarum. However, the charity recognises that women experience a wide spectrum of pregnancy sickness symptoms, and provided information and support to any women effected by nausea and vomiting of pregnancy regardless of severity and/or diagnosis.
