The Hyperemesis Files
Episode 4
The Hyperemesis Files Podcast episode 4 features Kaitlin a woman from South Carolina in the US. Kaitlin has 2 boys and suffered HG with her second, although it seems likely that she also suffered with a milder HG with her first pregnancy. Charlotte talks to Kaitlin about her struggle to cope with HG the second time round, trying to care for the child she already had, a business, living in a new town with a very new support network and making the decision to never have children again by undergoing a sterilisation. She also talks about her experience with memory loss from having a thyamine deficiency (due to HG) and how her husband (a medical professional) became her full time carer. As with all the podcasts their maybe triggers so please do listen with someone.
