Dealing with Loss
HER Foundation Research finds a very
high loss rate among mothers with HG. Besides the many financial,
social, and personal losses, there is the loss of life. Over
10% of HG pregnancies are terminated (HER FRS) and thousands
more mothers consider it. Still more deal with miscarriage
or late loss and still born infants. Our research finds 1 in
every 4 babies do not make it to term when the mother has
HG. Although rare, mothers still die each year due to organ
failure secondary to HG, yet the number is unknown. The grief
is great and
can have lasting impact on families. This page is a resource
for those dealing with the many losses of HG. We encourage
you to talk with others with HG and seek professional help
if needed.
