This episode is all about Hyperemesis gravidarum, extreme sickness in pregnancy. I speak to Caitlin Dean, the chair of the charity Pregnancy Sickness Support, who explains why more research and awareness about this debilitating syndrome is so important, she also gives some brilliant tips and advice for people suffering with it. My friend Perdita Nouril also joins me to tell us her story of having HG in both her pregnancies. For more info visit: www.pregnancysicknesssupport.org.ukHelpline: 024 7638 2020 Pregnancy Sickness Support is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting people affected by Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy and Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
