Therapeutic Termination

Sadly, many women who experience hyperemesis gravidarum, at some point in their pregnancy will consider termination as a treatment and the Hyperemesis Research Foundation in America found that over 10% of pregnancies complicated by Hyperemesis Gravidarum were terminated. More often than not this is due to inadequate treatment of symptoms and a lack of support and understanding from Health Care Professionals, employers and the general public. If you are considering termination as an option please contact us first to explore all your treatment options first.

There are a number of women in our support network who have themselves terminated due to hyperemesis and many more on the UK Hyperemesis Facebook support group and there is also a Grief Forum on the American HelpHer site for women who have lost babies to hyperemesis gravidarum.
