Hyperemesis Australia is a nation-wide charitable organisation focussed on supporting sufferers of pregnancy sickness, their families and healthcare professionals. Hyperemesis Gravidarum is an under-diagnosed and misunderstood condition and it is our mission to change this. No one should have to suffer in silence or receive inadequate care and we are here to support you during this difficult time
Hyperemesis Australia was founded in 2018 by HG survivor Caitlin Kay-Smith, after surviving a gruelling eight months of living with severe Hyperemesis Gravidarum in her first pregnancy.
Caitlin experienced first-hand the lack of awareness around treating the condition and the lack of care and empathy given to sufferers in her position.
This organisation was born out of a desire to create meaningful and practical change for the many families affected by these dreadful conditions each year.
You can read about Caitlin’s experiences of HG on our blog, or hear her speaking about them on the Tales From The Fourth Trimester, A Mother’s Narrative, The Nurtured Village podcasts.
If you're suffering from HG, or know a mama who is, please reach out to Hyperemesis Australia. Not only can the team of HG survivors provide you with brilliant resources, they can link you in with peer support and offer you the opportunity to finally feel understood.
