Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is the most severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. HG causes malnutrition, electrolyte imbalance, and dehydration which, if left untreated, can be life-threatening for mother and her unborn child(ren).

In order to ensure survival, the pregnant woman requires a significant amount of support and care. Each case should not be compared to another HG pregnancy as each pregnancy is different.
