Understanding HG
What Is Hyperemesis Gravidarum?
Hyperemesis gravidarum is one of the most physically and emotionally exhausting experiences of pregnancy. Unlike typical morning sickness, HG causes relentless nausea and vomiting that can lead to dangerous dehydration, significant weight loss, and nutritional deficiencies. At Vivere Drip Therapy, our licensed physician assistants provide outpatient IV hydration, antiemetics, vitamins, and electrolytes to help you stabilize — without requiring a hospital admission. We serve pregnant patients in Carmel and Salinas, California, offering a compassionate, clinically sound alternative to emergency-room visits. You deserve to feel human again. We are here to help you get there, one infusion at a time.
How It Differs from Morning Sickness
Morning sickness typically eases with dietary changes and resolves by the second trimester. Hyperemesis gravidarum is far more severe — relentless vomiting, dangerous dehydration, and significant weight loss that cannot be managed with crackers and rest.
Risk Factors
HG affects roughly 1–3% of pregnancies and is more common in women carrying multiples, those with a family history of HG, first pregnancies, and women with a history of H. pylori infection or certain thyroid conditions.
When to Seek Care
Seek care immediately if you cannot keep fluids down for 12+ hours, have not urinated in 8+ hours, feel dizzy or faint when standing, or have lost 2+ pounds in a week. IV hydration is often the fastest and most effective intervention.
Treatment
How IV Therapy Helps
When you cannot keep water down, oral medications simply cannot do enough. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system entirely for immediate effect.
Rapid Rehydration
Isotonic saline or lactated Ringer's solution restores fluid volume and electrolyte balance — sodium, potassium, and magnesium — directly into the bloodstream within minutes of starting your infusion.
Anti-Nausea IV Medications
IV antiemetics such as ondansetron (Zofran) and promethazine interrupt the vomiting reflex at the source, acting far faster than oral formulations that cannot be absorbed when vomiting is frequent.
Vitamin & Nutrient Replenishment
Thiamine (B1), pyridoxine (B6), and a vitamin push replace critical nutrients depleted by prolonged vomiting — protecting neurological health and addressing deficiencies that worsen nausea.
Your Visit
What to Expect at Your Visit
A straightforward, compassionate process — from intake to recovery.
Intake
Your physician assistant reviews your symptoms, current medications, pregnancy history, and hydration status to design the right infusion formula for you.
IV Placement
A small IV catheter is placed — typically in the forearm — quickly and comfortably. You recline in a calm, quiet environment while everything is prepared.
Treatment
Your custom infusion — fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and antiemetics as needed — runs over 45 to 60 minutes. Many patients feel nausea easing before the bag is finished.
Aftercare
You leave with a session summary for your OB and guidance on next steps. We can schedule follow-up infusions and coordinate with your obstetric provider as needed.
