Hyperemesis

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a severe form of nausea and vomiting experienced during pregnancy. Unlike typical morning sickness, it can lead to dehydration, weight loss, and electrolyte imbalances, requiring medical treatment. Women with this condition may struggle to keep food or fluids down, affecting their daily lives and overall health. It often occurs in the first trimester but can persist throughout the pregnancy. Treatment may include medication, hydration therapies, and dietary changes. If left unmanaged, it can pose risks to both the pregnant person and the developing baby, making early intervention crucial.
