Around 1 out of 100 women experience hyperemesis gravidarum. You are more likely to experience hyperemesis gravidarum if you:● are carrying twins or multiples● have a mother or sister who has had hyperemesis gravidarum in a pregnancy● had hyperemesis gravidarum in a previous pregnancyIf you suspect you may have hyperemesis, consult your LMC immediately. A question I often get asked is will hyperemesis gravidarum harm my baby? Unpleasant as hyperemesis gravidarum is, the good news is it is unlikely to harm your baby if treated effectively. Self-care for hyperemesis gravidarum (yay!)
