I had this with my first pregnancy and not a single doctor took me seriously. I ended up losing the baby and literally almost died.

This was not the first time a HG mom has gone through this- there is evidence to support Charlotte Brontë died as a result of Wernickes Encephalopathy due to HG.

I had HG and had Wernickes Encephalopathy. This will continue happening to us unfortunately until medicine starts listening and following guidelines for thiamin.

More doctors need to take HG seriously. My first pregnancy they refused to medicate me and I was -26 pounds at 39 weeks. 2nd pregnancy had much better management, scary I could’ve lost sight based on the amount of vomiting

As someone who has been in the hospital for years for vomiting, my drs don’t know what to do

I lost over 20 pounds in my first trimester and couldn’t keep anything down. I told my primary care, and she told me it wasn’t that big of a deal since I was already overweight to begin with, and you don’t want to gain too much weight while pregnant..

wow... I had this during my pregnancy. my mother was the ONLY one fighting for me to get thiamine in my IV bags. I felt a million times better after I got it.

I was in the hospital almost every week for it. also ended up having to stay in for preeclampsia. had to have c section early for both because it was so bad. before I got pregnant, due to anxiety, I lost 115 pounds in 5 months. barely ate. can absolutely guarantee I was deficient. my husband took me to the doctors when I lost the weight and said he wanted me checked for deficiency from losing so much so quickly. the male GP said, and I kid you not, all women should be that weight. I was like 110 pounds, I'm almost 5'6.

i usually have pretty harsh HG that i get hospitalized for during my pregnancies. i only started taking vitamin b1 this time around, my 11th pregnancy (8 miscarriages) and it literally cured it 🙃😐 so i guess i found the cause for me

I’ve had problems with vomiting for YEARS and nobody has mentioned this. Do they test for it with routine blood testing? My tests are always good minus low vitamin d

My daughter had HG with her second pregnancy, couldn’t even keep water down. The drs would not take her seriously, told her it was just a normal part of pregnancy… til I showed up in that office and raised HELL! They had her on a zofran drip through a port in her stomach…within a week! I was not playing with them! Ladies speak up and advocate for yourselves…get your moms, aunts..any older woman who will show up and fight for you. Be assertive

I had hg with my second. I lost 30lbs and weighed less the day I had him than the day I found out. my ob was horrific and it's a miracle we made it. there was never a day I didn't puke less than 30x. they actually tried to keep me from going into the nursery bc they thought I wasn't pregnant 😭

Having an HG pregnancy again and finally under control with a PICC line, but when I was going to the ER and getting admitted I'd ask for thiamine each time (along with Zofran and Pepcid). They obliged, but always looked at me oddly.
