<span>Having a good support network can really help some of the physical and emotional symptoms of Hyperemesis Gradidarum (HG).</span>

<span>Making sure you have supportive people who can help you at home and help you take care of yourself and other children you may have can relieve a lot of the stress that having HG is likely to cause. It can be hard to ask for help but it is important to remember that HG is a serious illness and, if your friend had it, you would want to help them, so ask for help and let other people help you.</span>

<span>You’re likely to need time off work when suffering with HG and your employer has a duty of care to support you with this. Sick leave for pregnancy conditions must be recorded separately and you cannot lose your job because of pregnancy sickness.</span>

<span>Pregnancy Sickness Support have a confidential forum where you can chat with other people who have suffered with pregnancy sickness or HG. The charity offers a helpline or webchat where you can get more specific information about the medication options, services in your area and self-help strategies.</span>

<span>You can also get peer support from Pregnancy Sickness Support by calling the helpline: <a href="tel://07899245001">07899 245001</a> Mon-Fri 9.00-17.00.</span>
