We call on the UK Government to provide funding to improve physical and mental healthcare for sufferers, increase training, eliminate inequities in access and treatment as well as ensure HG sufferers have access to mental health support within 2 weeks of referral.

Up to 30,000 people will suffer with HG in 2025, all 8 times more likely to develop antenatal depression than other pregnant people. Hyperemesis gravidarum is not “morning sickness”—it is a debilitating pregnancy condition that profoundly impacts physical and mental health. For too long, we feel the suffering of women with HG has been dismissed. We feel HG sufferers remain excluded from the services they desperately need.
