Pregnancy Sickness Support: Supporting & Empowering Pregnant Women Through Shared Experiences.Pregnancy Sickness Support is the only UK charity committed to improving the care, treatment, and support for women enduring Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy (NVP) and its severe form, Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). My journey as a mother-to-be was marked by seven gruelling months of HG, which inspired me to transform my challenges into a mission to aid others experiencing this isolating condition.I work closely (as a volunteer) with pregnant women (service users) who reach out to the charity seeking support while navigating various levels of pregnancy-related sickness, including Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Through daily interactions, I leverage my own HG experience to guide and support these service users, who often find themselves in immensely challenging circumstances.By collaborating with Pregnancy Sickness Support, my goal is to raise awareness, participate in fundraisers, and contribute to improving healthcare standards, fostering broader understanding of this debilitating condition. Above all, my dedication lies in volunteering to ensure that pregnant women no longer have to endure the suffering I, and many others before me, have faced.A recent study found that 4.9% of women terminated a wanted pregnancy and a staggering 52.1% considered termination because of suffering from HG. So our mission is simple; To improve the experience and alleviate the suffering of all those affected by pregnancy sickness, including hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).If you want to learn more or know someone currently struggling with pregnancy-related sickness, please take a moment to visit or check out our website at Together, we can make a positive impact and provide the support and care that all women deserve during this challenging time.
