このコンテンツについて
Pregnancy sickness is a spectrum: while most women experience some degree of pregnancy sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe form at the extreme end of the spectrum. It affects about 3% of pregnancies and it can involve serious physical and psychological complications.
In this episode we think about HG from our perspective as perinatal psychiatrists: what do mental health professionals need to know about HG? how does it affect mental health? and what can we do to support women with this condition?

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health difficulties, there is lots of help available. You can contact your primary care provider in the first instance, or if you are based in the UK the NHS perinatal mental health website will help you to find support in your local area.
