    This episode talks about Hyperemesis Gravidarum and pregnancy. Email mothermeetshood@gmail.com Instagram mothermeetshoodpodcast Signs and symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum: Severe nausea and vomiting Food aversions Weight loss of 5% or more of pre-pregnancy weight Decrease in urination Dehydration Headaches Confusion Fainting Jaundice Extreme fatigue Low blood pressure Rapid heart rate Loss of skin elasticity Secondary anxiety/depression What are the treatments for hyperemesis gravidarum? In some cases, hyperemesis gravidarum is so severe that hospitalization may be required. Hospital treatment may include some or all of the following: Intravenous fluids (IV) – to restore hydration, electrolytes, vitamins, and nutrients Tube feeding: Nasogastric – restores nutrients through a tube passing through the nose and into the stomach Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy – restores nutrients through a tube passing through the abdomen and into the stomach; requires a surgical procedure Medications – metoclopramide, antihistamines, and antireflux medications* Other treatments may include: Bed Rest –This may provide comfort, but be cautious and aware of the effects of muscle and weight loss due to too much bed rest. Acupressure – The pressure point to reduce nausea is located at the middle of the inner wrist, three-finger lengths away from the crease of the wrist, and between the two tendons. Locate and press firmly, one wrist at a time for three minutes. Sea bands also help with acupressure and can be found at your local drug store. Herbs – ginger or peppermint Homeopathic remedies are a non-toxic system of medicines. Do not try to self-medicate with homeopathic methods; have a doctor prescribe the proper remedy and dose. * When it comes to medications, it is very important that you weigh the risks and the benefits. Some drugs may have adverse effects on you or the development of your baby. Discuss the risks and side effects of each drug with your health care provider. *Disclaimer I am not a medical professional*
