Dear Dr Phil Show,
If only every mom sick with Hyperemesis knew....
- that she has a disease
- that the name of the disease is HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM
- that she's not the cause of it, that she's not just "weak"
- that there is treatment
- that there is HOPE and a wonderful reward on the other side
... then there would be:
- thousands of few abortions every year (up to 25% of moms with HG have an abortion because of the disease)
- tens of thousands of moms recieving proper medical care
- tens of thousands of moms at less risk for serious medical complications
- tens of thousands of babies at less risk for serious medical complications
- more of a demand for Drs to take this disease more seriously.
- fewer ended marriages, broken friendships, and broken hearted moms.
Thank you for covering this topic. Someday I hope you read the letter from another mom- the mom who watched your show and her baby who's alive because of it.
Sincerely,
Teddi Ivey
