Ep219: The Real Effect of Hyperemesis And Strategies To Treat It with Kimber MacGibbon of The Hyperemesis Foundation

49 min • 1 augusti 2023

In this episode you’re going to get excellent information and strategies to help with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) from RN Kimber MacGibbon of The Hyperemesis Foundation. Her organization works to dispel the misconception that hyperemesis is a short-lived condition without consequences for the mother or child.

After her own experience with HG during two pregnancies, she was shocked to find that her doctor was not willing to help her. It was difficult to find information and resources so she decided to tackle the problem herself. Working with other experts in the field, she developed HER Foundation, a non-profit which is taking the lead in advancing HG research, advocacy, and education.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

  • What hyperemesis is and how it’s different from morning sickness
  • How long it can last
  • What complications are possible
  • Which strategies and medications can be helpful
  • How to tell if it’s time to reduce medication
  • What some home care options are that can keep people with HG out of the hospital
  • Why it can be so difficult to get support for HG
