Breathe Through HG is dedicated to supporting mothers ballerina Hyperemesis Gavidarum, a debilitating life threatening pregnancy condition, which often leads to significant physical, financial, and emotional distress.
Why Your Support Matters: Hyperemesis gravidarum is more than just severe nausea and vomiting; it is a condition that can be so incapacitating that women are often unable to care for themselves, leading to profound physical, financial, and emotional stress. A staggering 52% of women suffering from HG have experienced suicidal thoughts, according to a 2001 study of 5,000 women. This is compounded by the inability to work, guilt over unmet responsibilities, and feelings of being a “burden” on their families.
How Your Donation Helps: Your contributions to Breathe Through HG go directly towards:
Educational Initiatives: The funds would allow us to develop and disseminate up-to-date research and resources not only to women affected by HG but also to their care teams, including OBGYNs, mental health professionals, and midwives. By educating healthcare providers, we aim to improve the standard of care and understanding surrounding HG.
HG Support Coordination: These resources would facilitate the creation of personalized support plans for expectant mothers, helping to assess and fulfill their unmet needs. Our approach goes beyond mere support; we craft detailed plans that clarify the roles and responsibilities within the support network, ensuring that every woman feels comprehensively supported.
HG Heartlines: A portion of the funding would also support the expansion of the HG Heartlines initiative. This program connects mothers enduring HG with those who have successfully navigated their HG pregnancies, providing emotional support, practical advice, and community connection to ensure no one faces this challenging journey alone.
In essence, a cornerstone in improving the quality of life for HG sufferers and their families.
Thank you for your support! Together, we can provide support and resources to women enduring the challenges of HG throughout their pregnancy journey until the day they share in the gift of life and baby's first breath on delivery day.
We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️
