Pregnancy Sickness Support is a registered UK charity working to improve care, treatment and support for women suffering from Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy (NVP) and the severe form of the condition; Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG).We are currently a small charity and rely heavily on donations and fund-raising from sufferers and the work of volunteers but we are growing rapidly thanks to the hard work and dedication of our small team.Our national support network is for sufferers of NVP and HG and their carers, which is growing and developing constantly and making a huge difference to women all around the country. Our leaflets and website also provide a valuable resource for those suffering. We are also working hard to raise awareness about Nausea and Vomiting in pregnancy and Hyperemesis Gravidarum with the public, the media and Health Care Professionals (HCP's) and are involved in ongoing research into the cause and treatment of NVP and HG and the psychological impact for sufferers and their families. Guidelines and training programmes for healthcare professionals were published by the RCOG in 2016. We host bi-annual conferences for both Healthcare professionals, researchers and Pregnancy Sickness Supporters.
