A podcast all about the severe pregnancy condition Hyperemesis Gravidarum.

Some weeks we will also feature experts from the HG research community and charity sector.
The Hyperemesis Files
Series 3 - Episode 1
In this Series of the Hyperemesis Files we are going to be concentrating on different viewpoints and aspects of the Hyperemesis journey.
In Episode 1 I am joined by Michelle who is the founder of Fat and Pregnant. Michelle and I go through her 5 pregnancies, her first being when she was just 16 and her last in July 2020.
How different were her pregnancies? Did she suffer with Hyperemesis during all of them and how were her pregnancies different based on the gender of her baby?
Listen to find out!
Michelle and I also talk about being a plus sized woman and how "weight" effects the treatment of women with Hyperemesis and in fact, I am sure, most women's health problems.
Michelle is really honest about how she thinks her size went against her and how as a plus sized woman in pregnancy you are treated differently.
