In our last interview episode of You, Me & HG season two, we spoke with Eavan, HG survivor who speaks about navigating the highs and lows of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), exploring diverse topics such as triggers, constipation, and the challenges faced during her birth & in particular her postpartum, that rocked us.
This episode delves into the intricacies of HG, from its daily struggles to the often overlooked nuances, such as the difficulties of dealing with all the unglamourous side to what this condition brings. Listening to these stories & in particular Eavan's is a timely reminder that we need to notice the red flags of HG & actively listen to sufferers when they say they are struggling.

In this episode we’re joined by Kate, a church Minister, who candidly shares her experiences of grappling with HG during her two pregnancies; one of which resulted in a missed miscarriage. We explore what it's like to go through loss after HG, supportive postpartum, pregnancy during lockdowns and the intersection of faith and challenging circumstances including surgery whilst pregnant.
Kate's story provides a unique vantage point, as she entered her pregnancies armed with knowledge from her sister's 2 HG experiences, yet still faced her own tumultuous journey. We delve into Kate's experience of receiving top-tier medical care and the horrific PTSD that followed well into her postpartum. This episode shows just how significant HG's impact can be even in the best of circumstances. And it serves as a testament to the power of community, personal advocacy and the resilience of HG sufferers, offering solace and connection to those facing similar challenges.

In this episode we chat with Katie; a first time HG survivor based in a remote community in East Arnhem Land in the NT who tells us about the incredible care & support she received from her Obstetrician & how even with the best of care she still endured the devastating effects of HG both physically & mentally. Katie also details the amazing planning that went into her postpartum recovery & how she's coping almost one year on.
This is essential listening for anyone interested in the level of care that should be provided to HG sufferers &, in particular, healthcare providers looking for guidance on best practice. It’s also a lesson for sufferers in managing expectations because even if you have the care you deserve HG is still an incredibly difficult journey.

CONTENT WARNING: Suicide Ideation & Termination.
This episode we're joined by two-time HG survivor, Jordan, who candidly shares with us her experience with having Type 1 Diabetes as well as navigating two HG pregnancies. In particular how her very wanted second pregnancy was the hardest one due to the effects HG has on managing her diabetes & ultimately ending in her decision to terminate.
Jordan speaks about her second daughter & how she navigates the grief & guilt she carries but also how she plans on trying again & planning in depth knowing she will most likely have HG again.
This episode is both heartbreaking and hopeful & we are so grateful to Jordan for sharing her story with us.

This episode we're joined by two-time HG survivor, Jess, who shares her experiences trying to work as a teacher during her first pregnancy (while keeping it a secret), being body shamed and dismissed by her regional town's local hospital, seeking different care at the very last minute after she grew concerned about reduced movements and was dismissed by her main care providers resulting in an emergency caesarean at a totally new hospital, and the learnings she took with her into her second pregnancy. Content warning for discussions of reduced foetal movements and NICU stay.
