Ep #004: The Memo on: Navigating Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy (NVP) and Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)
The Midwife Memos with Lauretta Hamilton - Podcast
In this heartfelt and educational episode of The Midwife Memos, Lauretta shares her personal experiences with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) and dives into all things nausea & vomiting in pregnancy & HG. She explores the differences between NVP and HG, diagnosis & management options, mental health support, recovery tips postpartum, planning a pregnancy after HG and her favourite resources.
My hope is that this chat will help raise awareness, help women and birthing people advocate for themselves, and highlight that suffering is not something you just have to accept.
