An interesting piece on BBC Breakfast News this morning about hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), extreme, debilitating vomiting in pregnancy.
It seems not uncommon that health professionals tell women with HG that it is "just" morning sickness...
Here are some resources which distinguish the two and may be more help.
The Pregnancy Sickness Support website is a wealth of support and resources, including a chat facility and a phone number.
There is a Cochrane review of interventions.
And a RCOG Green Top guideline, which covers nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and HG as separate conditions.
BBC Breakfast only remains on the BBC iPlayer for 24 hours, so it won't be at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0010s9x/breakfast-20102021 for long. The interview, with someone from Pregnancy Sickness Support, was around 650 am.
