In Home Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) Treatment

Pregnancy nausea is usually limited to the first 3 months (or first trimester) of pregnancy. It eases off at about 12–14 weeks as the placenta becomes established and the pregnancy hormones such as hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) reduce.   With hyperemesis, symptoms can start earlier, at about 6 weeks, and are much more severe than normal morning sickness. Some people report vomiting (being sick) up to 50 times a day. On average, symptoms of hyperemesis improve at about week 20 but they can be experienced until birth.Often people who are pregnant can identify specific triggers for their nausea, eg, specific smells, feeling hot or certain foods.
