What is Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a condition during pregnancy that is severe nausea and vomiting that leads to weight loss and electrolyte imbalance. Severe cases may lead to admission to hospital and the need for nutrition to be administered via an intravenous line known as a drip or via a gastric feeding tube.
Hyperemesis gravidarum can quickly become a medical emergency, so it is important to contact your GP surgery if you suspect that you have HG. Once the initial emergency is rescued, HG can be resistant to conventional treatments. Healthcare professionals are increasingly recommending alternatives to the traditional medical interventions. These therapies include things like taking ginger root and acupressure. Increasingly, many also recommend medical hypnotherapy by way of solution focussed hypnotherapy that is consistently proving to be a highly effective treatment for HG.
Morning Sickness During Pregnancy
Most women experience some sickness during pregnancy, commonly known as morning sickness. However, it does not only occur during the morning. Sickness at other times of the day does not mean that you have HG.

You Don’t have to Suffer Morning Sickness and Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Solution focussed hypnotherapy is just as effective if you suffer from morning sickness as for those with HG. When you have morning sickness or HG that is impacting on your enjoyment of the pregnancy, a course of solution focussed hypnotherapy is side effect free and will help you and your baby throughout your pregnancy.
General medical practitioners are becoming increasingly aware of the mind-body connection and how solution focused hypnotherapy is a non invasive side effect free method that helps mums overcome morning sickness and HG during pregnancy.
