Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Hyperemesis Gravidarum is a severe form of nausea and vomiting that occurs during pregnancy. Unlike typical morning sickness, it can lead to dehydration, weight loss, and nutritional deficiencies. Affected individuals may struggle to keep food or fluids down, which can impact their overall health and the health of the fetus.
This condition usually develops in the first trimester but can persist throughout the pregnancy. Treatment often involves hydration, dietary changes, and sometimes medication to manage symptoms. In severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary to ensure the well-being of both the pregnant person and the baby.
