This is a message in our DMs from a HG patient in Ireland in 2026, talking about her hospital experience.

The theme for this year's HG Awareness Day is: BELIEVE US.

Believe us when we say:

This is not "just morning sickness"
This is not normal
We can't eat, drink, or leave the house
We need treatment
We need mental health support
We don't know if we can survive this without help

👩‍⚕️If you are a healthcare professional, we have specific information for you on our website (and join our email list to get the newest HG guidelines when they are released).

🏥If you have HG, lots of tips and info on our website for you (as well as our private online support group)

💞 Friends and family can learn more about HG, what causes it, and how to help on our website and email list.

"What is crucial is understanding and validating the HG experience. In other words, do not tell her to try ginger, crackers, or “mind over matter,” and avoid comments that speak to a reality she is no longer capable of, like “You have to eat something” or “let’s go for a walk.” "
