- 10 Ways to Help a Loved One Suffering From Hyperemesis
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. It is generally described as unrelenting, excessive pregnancy-related nausea and/or vomiting that prevents adequate intake of food and fluids. If severe and/or inadequately treated, it is typically associated with:
- loss of greater than 5% of pre-pregnancy body weight (usually over 10%)
- dehydration and production of ketones
- nutritional deficiencies
- metabolic imbalances
- difficulty with daily activities
HG usually extends beyond the first trimester and may resolve by 21 weeks; however, it can last the entire pregnancy in less than half of these women. Complications of vomiting (e.g. gastric ulcers, esophageal bleeding, malnutrition, etc.) may also contribute to and worsen ongoing nausea.

It literally feels like being forced to live in the midst of dying 😭. I’m only 9 weeks in and it’s tearing me up. Wouldn’t wish this on anyone! And the worst part are the people who think that it’s normal morning sickness and thinking you’re weak because they “pushed through it” or say “yeah I was sick too” … listen… this is not the same. This is a literal hell… and gets super depressing :(
I know exactly what you mean,people just don't understand
I already asked someone where they went to school, as it seams that they know more than my doctor.
It’s my second time… I do not have the patience anymore.
In my first pregnancy it took the whole 9months (but it was not as aggressive as in the first 5months), this second time… god help me because it’s starting worse!
Some days I sob and some days I laugh as I made it to the toilet..
Hope everything went well with you and your baby!
Here’s to the badasses mums ❤️💪
Exactly, and it pisses me off because they just don’t understand. They undermine your feelings, though I don’t wish this upon my worst enemy. Just like other diseases exist, this sickness does too, and people need to quit making it seem like it’s even close to regular morning sickness 🤦♀️
You're not the only one I'm dying too and I'm only 4 weeks
As soon as I heard what my wife had HG I started going through UA-cam videos and internet articles. Videos like this helped me prepare. My missus never had this on our first pregnancy so this was a surprise. My best advice so far is to do everything. Be the nurse, maid , and be prepared to know what it’s like to be a single Dad. Your wife should only have to rest. When you work you come how and rinse and repeat. I try and get her to eat a little and drink a little and I tell her that no matter what it is that she can keep down is what she can have for the remainder of this condition. I’ve got a Breville Juicer and I’m going to start making her pure juice with hopes that, on an empty stomach, some of the vitamins and nutrients will absorb faster. But as a bystander I’d give anything to take this onto myself so she can have peace. It’s heartbreaking to watch but you gotta go above and beyond and remember that she’s the real hero.
She's lucky to have you. Hope she feels better soon 💕
@@WolfeMomma thanks so much. I hope so too but I think we have a long battle to go yet. I’m lucky to have her and it’s times like these we can show how much we really appreciate what moms go through.
I need my entire family and friends to watch this. I want a second child and can’t do it alone with hyperemesis on my back 😭
Me too am forwarding this to them lol
Bless you I know the feeling wish you the best for future pregnanys
I'm dying I feel like I'm dying
trying "no to morning sickness tea" help immensely to alleviate HG and morning sickness, drinking a cup of it is enough to be good for the day.
I suffered for 20 weeks with HG, it was hell. We are now trying again for a baby and I'm so so scared. I'm trying to stay positive that this time will be different, but since I had to end one pregnancy, I know it wont. I have a 5 year old daughter who is happy and healthy, even though I was so ill when I was pregnant with her. I felt like I failed as a woman. It's the one thing that should come naturally, but it was like my body was allergic to the hormones! Fingers crossed this time around, I can be better prepared for it.
Kudos to all the women who endured HG. I too suffered from it recently and as a result decided to end my pregnancy. I’m so sad because I really was planning on keeping my baby but I absolutely couldn’t endure the sickness 😞
Same here it’s the worst thing I ever encountered and it’s a shame I had to give up my baby like that but at the end it’s worth it . Allah knows best . Anyone who survived HG full term is total bad ass because I literally was dying
So you killed your baby? Wow. I have it and wouldn’t ever think to terminate the pregnancy because of that. The sickness would have ended when you had the baby and it would have been worth it. Hope you repent and seek Jesus.
Same here four more days May God be with me 🙏🙏🙏
@@Deplorablehomemaker girl shut up
Not everyone is strong enough to make it through hard times. Some people have no support and underlying health issues. May God have mercy on the weak and let’s leave the judgements with God.
Ty so much for your videos on HG. You have been more helpful than any other video's I've found. You nailed it when you talked about the isolation I feel. And vometing in a clean toilet does make such a difference!
These videos have me so emotional but I can’t cry cause I’ll throw up. 😑
I had suffered so much with HG, I'M NOT SURE WHY I GET THIS. this is my 3rd baby and is getting to me so fast is not joke 😣😥 thanks for doing this videos
This made me cry I need help but nobody cares
My husband first didn't think i was serious. Until i was admitted to hospital with HG. He researched the symptoms and then realised how debilitating it is.
This video brought me to tears, i am having HG for second time, and seems like noone is taking it seriousely and being called lazy and told come on just try and force yourself try to do this and that at least and i dont know all these silly comment give me urge to punch them in the face😂,meanwhile even taking shower seems a tough task,what you have mentioned is wxactely what i was really feel I need it,God have mercy on every woman who'a struggling and surviving it.
Your the best...I have hyperemisis and I’ve sent this clip to my family. You make it all so clear!! 💕
Why do doctors act like its no big deal? I've researched some info about HG that I'd rather not say here.
Thank you mama for other moms who see this it’s groups on Facebook
Last year had a miscarriage at 8 weeks 4 days because of untreated HG, pregnant again now 5 weeks 4 days, yesterday had my first nvp symptoms. Literally I am absolutely terrified... 😢
OMG This is my second video on this. There should be a HG HOTLINE 🤯 or something. You need a wet nurse/ nanny/ a bilhah or Zilpha on hand to get through this sickness. So sorry ladies.
😭 Thank you! Just having someone acknowledge these things makes me feel a little better. Thanks to covid, I can't exactly let people come over to help me, but I do feel more seen. 💕
Thank you so much for making this video. This is my first pregnancy and I suffer from HG. This video is amazing!
I’ve suffered for 19 weeks now I’m so over it
Thank you so much for sharing your journey; your courage is going to change the world for others who struggle. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to borrow this video to post in Facebook. I have a rare autoimmune disorder (which some very rare complications) and, while my struggles are a little different, your advice is absolutely spot-on.
I literally hide upstairs while everyone Cooks their food, it still gets to me but it’s not as bad. I have no social life, sitting on the damn couch all day because most days it’s such a strain to get out of the house. And when my nausea is really bad I have to talk a lot less to keep myself from vomiting, so yes I stay home and watch cartoons all day 😂 it sucks though, the whole thing is really depressing, and physically and mentally puts a toll on me, told the ER doctor the condition is making me depressed, then they start wondering if I’m going to kill myself and stuff like that 🙄 they’re really annoying, just telling me the same “tips” that works for regular morning sickness. 🤦♀️ smh
Very helpful, thank you
Thank you! 😊💕
What a great video! Thank you so much for making this video!
This is so true, thank you for this video but how do you share this with your friends?
, the only person who seems to care is my mom and she also has a full time job . I appreciate her so much. I’m about to hit 9 weeks and I’m dying .
Thank so much very informative video. Great work
YES!😫🤢🤮my whole family needs to watch this.lol ugh
Even if they do, they wouldn’t truly understand unless they’ve been through it themselves. It’s very hard to get people to listen and understand. 😞
Thank you so much for making this video
Ughh I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and 4 days because because I was throwing up so much and couldn't keep any liquid in. Hated my OB's for doing nothing but writing off prescriptions. Tried 7 different meds and nothing ever helped. After doing lots of research on the meds and all the risks there was I decided to go the herbal route when I was 8 weeks, less risks and I was actually able to eat and keep liquid in unlike the pills that I was also throwing up minutes after I took them. 36 weeks now and stopped the herbals at 32weeks. Went back to throwing up but its definitely not as bad as it was.
Herbal Route?
What herbal route please?
The heaviest thing for me is that my husband is at work and I can’t really take care of my 6 years old. I don’t have energy to talk much I just go up quick and make a sandwich and after that I may need to rest in bed for hours before I can get up again! My kid had tv like 1-2 h a day now is tv all day long because he is bored and I can’t help it😔😔 he is been most of summer home doing nothing 😔. My husband cooks before he leaves so I just have to warm up the food for him! But If someone asked me for my son to take to the park or anything I would be grateful 😔😔😔 ofc that didn’t happen. Ppl doesn’t get how weak we are from not eating day in and out for weeks
I suffered HG for more than 20 weeks. All the things mentioned in this video are correct. Dont try to cook whatever HG mom might like. I eat some food from the restaurant, and my mom tried to cook it. All the smells are killing me. Goodness! 😂😂
Thankyou somuch for sharing love u lots 💓 ill be sending this to my family as I'm trying to conceive and my pregnanys are really bad with hypremesis
Thank u
I had HG
So much ture
I love you sweetheart intact you're amazing
Ok half the stuff you mentioned will not help hypermeiss cleaning clothes this sounds like a home aid more than helping the actual body. sorry this video was no help for my wife at all.
The video is titled 10 ways to help a loved one, not 10 ways to help hyperemesis. I think you're missing the point of the video.
Lindsey Byrne ummmm its say 10 ways to help a loved one suffering from hypermeiss and cleaning the house and other things are not going to work
Ok. We can agree to disagree. As a sufferer, it helped me greatly when anyone cleaned up my house. One less thing to stress about. I still think you're missing the point of the title. It's not how to help Hyperemesis, it's how to help someone suffering from Hyperemesis. Helping them with day to day errands, or emotional support will help them, not help their Hyperemesis.
Ooh come on! Helping hyperemesis mom is not by trying to get rid of the hyperemesis. It won't go untill it's gone. And as a partner, you have to do all the things to make her feel okay that she's having such problem. Everything is under control when she's sick. That's what of being helpful for hyperemesis mom.
This actually helps me lol When the house is clean I feel a little better. Anything I smell makes me vomit. I have no energy to go grocery’s shopping or do anything. This is good advice for my bf and her advice does help me
