Research on HG's short- and long-term effects is desperately needed and needed now. We need to do more to find a cure for this disease that has such devastating effects on a growing number of soon-to-be mothers.
HG forces women to make difficult decisions... the H.E.R. web site is the most comprehensive location to educate oneself to make the best decisions.
HG is a devastating illness and yet so little research has been undertaken into causes and therapies.
HG is a tremendously debilitating disease that can have life-long consequences. This Web site will provide much needed support to mothers suffering from this disease.
HG has a devastating personal and family impact and effective management is most important.
Give the Gift of Hope to HER in 2012!
Here are 3 of the best ways to give back to HER:
-
Help us reach our research goal!
319 more HG women needed to follow through all the way to sending their saliva samples and 532 more non HG pregnancies needed.
America's budget cuts will effect HG research if we don't reach our goal quickly. USC & UCLA are close to meeting their goal of 1,000 participants. The goal of this study is to understand the etiology of Hyperemesis Gravidarum so we can develop better treatments and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from HG and their offspring. This is the quick and easy way to help, but also the most important way you can help!Your friends who have had non-HG pregnancies can be a part of the research as well.

Latest research shows lifelong effects from extreme morning sickness (Hyperemesis Gravidarum) on children
An extreme form of pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting known as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) takes a heavy toll on thousands of women each year and can lead to hospitalization and pregnancy termination. But new research suggests pregnant women are not the only victims.
Severe morning sickness runs in families
(Reuters Health) - A woman's chances of experiencing severe nausea during pregnancy appear to be influenced, at least in part, by genetics, according to new study findings. Please read the full article here and post your comments.
NEW "IN MEMORIAM" section honoring those lost to HG HER Foundation honors National Infant Loss and Prevention Month by dedicating part of our website to those families who have lost their loved ones due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
