Being a parent with HG is hard!
Duvet days and watching films are fun. Colouring, puzzles and books can all be done next to you on the bed or sofa. Playdates round friends and family's houses or going to nursery/school will keep little minds stimulated! #HG

If you are unable to find any relief, speak to your GP about possible medication. Join our forum and remember you are not alone! #pregnancysicknesssupport #HyperemesisGravidarum #TuesdayTips

Top tips for excess saliva: Mint humbugs, Lemon Sherberts, hard boiled travel/sour sweets, Werthers Originals, diluted fruit juice, water with ice squeeze of lemon/lime. At night try to sleep propped up, use a towel on your pillow and a spit/sick bowl. #hyperemesiagravidarum

What if I told you that your children won't hold it against you if you can't get out of bed or off the sofa today, tomorrow or for the foreseeable? They won't remember spending more time in front of a screen then usual?#HG #TeamPSS #mumguilt

‘Dog-nose’ can be a major factor in triggering NVP. Avoid triggers, use hand cream , lip balm, Karvol or Vicks on a hanky to mask smells. https://t.co/Yf4ISkrkTq #hyperemesisgravidarum #pregnancysicknesssupport #TuesdayTips
What are your top tips for relieving Dog-nose?

*Volunteer post*I can't always make it stop. I can't take HG away, fix it or prescribe meds. But I can: be there for her, listen/believe/understand, offer tips, because I have been there. I’ll always join her to walk in the rain. #hyperemesisgravidarum #pregnancysicknesssupport

I hadn’t even heard of #hyperemesisgravidarum I was poorly in my pregnancies. I felt like I was dying, but no one believed I was ill. I have never been so sick, or so miserable. If you have suffered and would like to volunteer, get in touch.

Pregnant women suffering #hyperemesisgravidarum are unable to keep most things down. If you are suffering, our message to you is EAT WHAT YOU CAN, WHEN YOU CAN. If you are working with a sufferer, please understand they are going through hell.

HG can sound like 'normal' pregnancy sickness unless the severe nature of the symptoms are understood. Extreme nausea & vomiting causes an inability to eat or drink, leading to dehydration, weight loss & malnutrition. #pregnancysicknesssupport #hyperemesisgravidarum #HGaware

[Team PSS @TeamPSS4PSS]

Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a condition at the extreme end of the pregnancy sickness spectrum. If you are suffering please get help. Call 024 7638 2020 (Mon-Fri from 8am) or visit the website for info and support. #HyperemesisGravidarum #pregnancysicknesssupport #HGAware

When suffering Hyperemesis Gravidarum we can't stress enough how important it is to rest. Rest, preferably lying down. The experiences given by pregnant women make rest their second most important way to help the symptoms of NVP. #hyperemesisgravidarum #pregnancysicknesssupport
