Support is Vital

"The support I received over the past 6 weeks helped get me through what has been the toughest time of my life. Having someone who really who really understood the condition give advice helped us through and crucially, at times, gave me really useful information I didn't get from my own medical practitioners. In my experience, HG is such a debilitating and lonely struggle, the more support you get the better chance you have of surviving it" - Lisa, from London.

Aims of Hyperemesis Ireland

Hyperemesis Ireland is predominantly focused on those women with extreme symptoms of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy known as hyperemesis gravidarum. However, the charity and its trustees recognise that women experience a wide spectrum of pregnancy sickness symptoms, and provided information and support to anyone affected by nausea and vomiting of pregnancy regardless of severity and/or diagnosis.
