✅️ HG can have lasting physical and mental effects, which is why proper treatment and support is so important.

✅️ Mental health tips are valuable, but you can't think your way out of a physiological condition. Rest can help HG symptoms.
✅️ The most common outcome of a HG pregnancy is a healthy baby, but HG can increase risks including preterm birth, growth restriction, and pre-eclampsia.

✅️ HG has specific diagnostic criteria
✅️ HG often improves in mid-pregnancy but for ~20% lasts for the whole pregnancy
✅️ Ginger is useless for HG - it can't replace medical treatment
✅️ There are several safe medication options for HG, many of which your GP can prescribe. Untreated HG can be dangerous
