If you’ve ever wondered whether your morning sickness is something more, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dr Emily Rubinstein, women’s health GP, for an honest conversation about morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) - a condition that can make pregnancy incredibly challenging.

Together, we explore what HG really is, how it differs from typical morning sickness, and the treatment and support options available. My hope is that this episode helps you feel less alone and more empowered with knowledge to navigate pregnancy and seek the support you deserve.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • What hyperemesis gravidarum is and how it differs from morning sickness
  • Possible causes and risk factors that may increase your likelihood of experiencing HG
  • When to seek help and how to advocate for yourself with healthcare providers
  • Medical treatment options including vitamins, antihistamines, anti-emetics, and IV fluids
  • Non-medical approaches such as food and fluid strategies, supplements, and complementary therapies
  • The link between HG, pelvic floor health, and mental wellbeing
  • Why a strong support system at home and in healthcare makes such a difference
  • How to prepare for future pregnancies if you’ve experienced HG before
