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.

Education

A long term project at Pregnancy Sickness Support is to develop an online training programme for Healthcare Professionals to further their practice and care of women with nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Long term we hope to develop an accredited university course for midwives to create a 'link role' for specialist care of women with HG. In the meantime, please use this site to access the research available in our resources section.

Research opportunities

Dr Barnie-Adshead and Dr Gadsby have been researching the cause of NVP and HG for many years but are now looking to retire and hand the mantle over to someone else. If you are a doctor in General Practice or a hospital setting and are interested in continuing their good work then please do contact us to get involved.

Dr Catherine Sykes has been conducting on going research into the psychological effects of NVP and HG. To discuss her work in greater depth please contact us.
