Session Outlines and Learning Objectives
About the session
Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) affects up to 3% of the pregnant population and describes vomiting in pregnancy severe enough to cause weight loss and dehydration.
HG renders women so physically and mentally unwell that 5% are driven to terminate wanted pregnancy and 7% suffer suicidal ideation. Evidence-based treatment is required to prevent short and long-term complications both for the mother and unborn child.
