Hyperemesis Ireland is a small, fully remote, and volunteer-run charity set up in 2017 to advocate for and support pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum (severe nausea and vomiting in pregnancy) in the Republic of Ireland. HG is a distressing and debilitating condition, resulting in over 3,000 hospitalisations annually in Ireland and puts women and babies at increased risk of complications both in pregnancy and after pregnancy.
In the last few years, our main focus has been our #HG2Costly campaign; in the next few years we are planning more outreach activities to improve the health of women and babies, as well as other goals.
Our aims are as follows:
- To provide information and support to women and families affected by hyperemesis gravidarum in Ireland.
- To provide information that informs and educates healthcare professionals about care and treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum
- To raise public awareness about hyperemesis gravidarum, its impacts and available treatments, through media liaison and public engagement
- To support and encourage research into hyperemesis gravidarum
