Not Another Mummy Podcast

Ria Clarke on Hyperemesis Gravidarum


Listen Later

My guest on this episode of the podcast is Ria Clarke, a mum of one and a doctor specialising in women's health. Three years ago, Ria was suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum which causes severe nausea, vomiting and often dehydration during pregnancy. As someone who suffered from fairly bad morning sickness, and struggled to go about my usual day to day business, I find it hard to imagine what Hyperemesis must be like.


But as Ria explains, she had to be admitted to hospital, had to take time off work and is still feeling the after effects from the trauma that the condition caused.


Ria also chats about what it's like to be a doctor specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology, and talks about why there are five times more black women who are dying in pregnancy and childbirth than white women.


You can follow Ria on Instagram and find out more about Hyperemesis Gravidarum at Pregnancy Sickness Support.


You can read a transcript of this episode on Not Another Mummy Blog.
