Raise Your Voice for HER!

 

It is hard enough to have a successful pregnancy under normal conditions. Now our hospitals are jammed, chaotic, and operating in a different mode. Yet, there is always hope for moms with HG, and that is why we ask for your support as we work to bring focused education and resources to those women who need it during a highly stressful time. We are here for women regardless of what is going on around the world.

During this uncertain time  funding has been very minimal yet our work continues unabated. COVID-19 might push us around a bit, but it won’t keep us DOWN. We can continue our mission with your help. We will Raise Your Voice!

Please help us launch our new mobile-friendly site, continue advocacy and support, and many other educational and research projects. This means more moms will get better care in 2020 and beyond! 

Our mission is to find a cure for hyperemesis and its complications through advanced research, offer education and support to those seeking effective management strategies for hyperemesis, and provide information on new resources and treatment options as they become available.

Kristina’s HG Reality

“If I wasn’t pregnant, nurses and doctors would treat this like a real problem and not something I just need to nibble my way through,” says Kristina. Hyperemesis Gravidarum must be recognized and treated to improve outcomes.

Amrita’s Hyperemesis Gravidarum Reality

On my first Mother’s Day, I commemorated my suffering of 271 days by photographing you, my child, with 1/4 of the medications I had to take to function at barely 50%. I love you kid: your bright eyes, gummy smile, and nonsensical chatter. Thank you for making me a mother.

Vanessa’s HG Reality and Loss

HG robs women of the joy of a healthy pregnancy, and HG robs families of a mom, a sister, and wife. HG destroys society with the expense and burden of caring for someone.

Hannah’s #HGreality

I knew nearly nothing about hyperemesis, even after my ER diagnosis. The HER website helped educate me about symptoms and how to approach medical professionals. HER helped alleviate some concerns about medications.

Words That Trigger in the HG Community

HG isn’t the price to be paid for a healthy baby. It doesn’t have to happen in order for pregnancy to be viable, so it doesn’t have to be “worth it.”

Tala Shares #HERstory

The HER Foundation educated me on the website and social media, and I used the HG Care app. When I was scared to take Zofran, they sent me the lastest research. HER understands, and I didn’t feel alone. One day, they will find a cure.
