How to Survive During Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)

By HG Before During And The Aftermath (HGBDATA)


Surviving Hyperemesis Gravidarum isn't about sipping ginger tea and “staying positive.” It’s about fighting for your life—and your baby's—through one of the most brutal medical conditions pregnancy can bring. Here’s what we’ve learned from lived experience, crisis support, and walking hundreds of moms through it:


---


**1. Get Diagnosed Early**

HG is not morning sickness. If you’re vomiting constantly, unable to eat or drink, losing weight, or feel like you’re dying—it’s time to speak up. Demand evaluation and ask directly:

“Is this Hyperemesis Gravidarum?”

Don't let them brush you off.


---


**2. Hydration Is Non-Negotiable**

Dehydration can turn deadly fast. If you can't keep fluids down for more than 24 hours, you need IV hydration.


* Ask for IV fluids with electrolytes (like Lactated Ringers)

* Demand antiemetics (Zofran, Phenergan, Reglan, etc.)

* Advocate for in-home care if repeated ER visits aren’t helping


---


**3. Medications Save Lives**

Don’t wait until you're spiraling. Early medication can prevent long-term complications.

Some options include:


* Zofran (ondansetron)

* Phenergan

* Reglan

* Benadryl

* B6 and Unisom combo

  Not everything works for everyone—keep trying until something helps.


---


**4. Track What Works—and What Doesn't**

Document meds, symptoms, weight, urine color, and food tolerance daily.

This helps your medical team make faster decisions and can save time in emergencies. Use a journal or an app.


---


**5. Ask About IV Access and Feeding Tubes**

If oral meds fail, you may need:


* A PICC line or midline for hydration/meds

* NG/NJ tube or G/J tube for nutrition

* TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) if your gut completely shuts down


These are not extreme. They are medical necessity.


---


**6. Build Your Support Team**

You can’t do this alone. HG is too big.


* Bring a partner, friend, or advocate to appointments

* Use scripts if you’re too weak to speak

* Join an HG support group (like ours) for daily help and validation


---


**7. Rest Is Survival**

Forget dishes. Forget pressure. Your job is to survive. Lay flat. Turn off lights. Don’t feel guilty for doing nothing. You are doing everything just by staying alive.


---


**8. Protect Your Mental Health**

HG trauma is real. Depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts are common. You are not weak. You are *sick*.


* Speak to a therapist familiar with perinatal trauma

* Talk openly with someone you trust

* Contact our crisis team if you feel like giving up


---


**9. Educate Your Medical Providers**

Yes, we know it’s exhausting—but many doctors still don’t understand HG. Share evidence-based protocols (ask us for copies). If one provider dismisses you, fire them and find another.


---


**10. Remember: This Is Not Your Fault**

You didn’t cause this. You’re not overreacting. You’re not weak.

You are surviving something that takes everything—and you are still here. That matters.


---


If you need personalized help, daily support, or advocacy tools, reach out to HGBDATA. You don’t have to fight alone.


We believe you. We’ve lived it. And we’re here.


Book Release

Why You Need This Book

The Unseen Battle: Sick, Silent, Forgotten – The Hidden Battle of Hyperemesis Gravidarum 

By Starr Andrews Strong HGactivist 


If you’ve lived through the nightmare of Hyperemesis Gravidarum—or love someone who has—this book was written for you.


This isn’t just another pregnancy story. It’s a raw, honest survival guide. A lifeline. A voice for the millions suffering in silence.


Why should you buy this book? Because it will:


Validate your experience. You’re not crazy. You’re not weak. And you’re definitely not alone. This book puts words to the pain you couldn’t explain—and shows you that what happened to you matters.


* **Educate and empower.** You’ll learn the medical facts that most doctors still don’t know. From PICC lines and feeding tubes to the RYR2 gene connection and CVS aftermath—this book breaks it all down in language that’s real, raw, and relatable.


* **Prepare you and your family.** Whether you're in the middle of HG, planning another pregnancy, or struggling with the aftermath, this book arms you—and the people around you—with the truth about what to expect and how to fight for proper care.


Support your healing.  This isn’t just about surviving HG. It’s about reclaiming your voice, your body, and your life after the trauma. You’ll hear from other survivors, partners, and families who’ve walked through the fire and came out the other side.


Start the conversation the world refuses to have.  HG isn’t morning sickness—it’s a maternal health crisis. This book demands that the world stop ignoring it. And when you hold it in your hands, you’re part of that fight.


**This book has already saved lives.** Now let it help save yours.


Grab your copy today—and give yourself (or someone you love) the validation, support, and education they’ve been denied for far too long.


You are not alone.

You are not invisible.

And your battle deserves to be seen.
