The far-reaching burden of Hyperemesis Gravidarum - an exploration of women's experiences and perceptions of healthcare support.

Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a rare condition of pregnancy that exerts a profound effect on a woman's physical and psychological health, but limited research regarding women's perceptions of healthcare for this condition exists. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the personal and healthcare experiences of women with HG. Eligible participants included women who had experienced HG in a current or recent pregnancy and were referred to the dietitian at the National Maternity Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.
