It’s like the worst food poisoning of your life… Every. Single. Day. Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is not just morning sickness, and unfortunately, it’s often misunderstood – even by medical professionals.
Clinical Psychologist and founder of The Pregnancy Psychologist, Dr. Rosie Gilderthorp joins the NICU Space podcast to share her personal experience of HG, what it’s really like to live through it and most importantly, how you can get support if you’re going through it too.
We’re discussing:
- High levels of sickness in pregnancy
- Losing your ability to work, your identity and your joy
- The mental toll of being dismissed by doctors
- Guilt, trauma and grieving the pregnancy you expected
- The link between HG and NICU – and why it desperately needs talking about
If you’re experiencing HG or have been through it before, we want you to know you’re not alone, and support is out there for you. Tune into today’s episode to learn where to find it.
