Support Resources for Hyperemesis Gravidarum
One of the most painful aspects of hyperemesis gravidarum is the isolation that accompanies it. Many women feel that their suffering is minimized by family, friends, and even medical providers who do not fully understand how different HG is from typical pregnancy nausea. Finding a community of people who truly understand — and providers who take your condition seriously — can make a significant difference in your ability to cope. Here are resources and strategies for building a support system during hyperemesis gravidarum.
Organizations and Online Communities for HG
The HER Foundation (Hyperemesis Education and Research Foundation) at helpher.org is the leading nonprofit dedicated to HG. It offers a peer support community, medically reviewed information, a provider database, and research updates. Online communities on Reddit (r/HyperemesisGravidarum) and Facebook provide forums where women share experiences, treatment strategies, and emotional support in real time. These spaces are invaluable for combating the isolation of HG. The ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) also publishes clinical practice bulletins on nausea and vomiting in pregnancy that your OB should be familiar with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
How do I find an OB who takes hyperemesis gravidarum seriously?
Look for providers who treat HG as a medical condition requiring active management rather than reassurance. The HER Foundation website includes a provider database. When interviewing providers, ask directly how they manage HG and what their IV therapy referral process looks like. An OB who dismisses HG is not the right fit for you.
