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 Support for Mother's & Families

HER Foundation Research finds a very high loss rate among mothers with HG. Besides the many financial, social, and personal losses, there is the loss of life. Over 10% of HG pregnancies are terminated (HER FRS) and thousands more mothers consider it. Still more deal with miscarriage or late loss and still born infants. Our research finds 1 in every 4 babies do not make it to term when the mother has HG. Although rare, mothers still die each year due to organ failure secondary to HG, yet the number is unknown. The grief is great and can have lasting impact on families. This page is a resource for those dealing with the many losses of HG. We encourage you to talk with others with HG and seek professional help if needed.
