- Providing resources and information to inform and educate doctors and healthcare professionals about the condition via a range of platforms.

- Raising awareness of Pregnancy Sickness and Hyperemesis Gravidarum amongst the general public through articles and information

- Encouraging further research into the condition, its impacts and treatments

- Engaging in, providing and promoting the patient voice within research into the condition

- Continue to be a leader in the international HG scientific medical research community

- Providing a model and support for sister charities developing nationally and internationally meeting their specific cultural needs.

- To engage in quality improvement by auditing core demographic information to ultimately improve accessibility.

hearHER - Katie's story 👂👩‍⚕️💕

"Whilst waiting for a bed on a ward, a Doctor came to see me to say if I continued vomiting I may need to have a termination. My husband had to advocate for me to get the treatment I needed, as I felt too weak to think clearly."

"Each time I requested a repeat prescription, I was met with comments like 'all women feel sick, you just have to endure it.'.. I was deeply miserable and felt hopeless."

Sadly Katie's experience isn't unique. Every day we hear from sufferers that feel powerless, ignored, and dismissed.

We want to change that. Help us raise £10k to fund an educational programme to healthcare professionals on HG https://ow.ly/PLrL50YlWcw

We are looking for an operational lead who can turn ambition into consistent, high-quality delivery.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a small but ambitious charity. The postholder will oversee day to day operations, lead income generation, align communications with delivery priorities, and ensure strong governance, safeguarding and compliance standards are maintained.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable keeping multiple strands moving. Someone who can translate strategy into practical plans. Someone who understands risk, charity regulation and the importance of getting the detail right.

If you have experience in charity operations, income generation and people leadership, and you want to help a specialist women’s health charity show its impact clearly and sustainably, we would welcome your application.

Introducing hearHER, our 2026 Month To Change Minds campaign 👂👩‍⚕️

Sufferers are commonly told 'it's just morning sickness' and 'it's normal.' This leaves them feeling unheard, dismissed, and without treatment.

And the truth? Healthcare professionals don't want to treat people poorly. They just don't know how to treat HG sufferers better.

That's where we come in.

PSS are raising £10k to deliver an educational campaign to healthcare professionals across the UK, reaching 25% or more in 2026. Improving care at the point of contact for HG sufferers across the UK through knowledge.

Our ask is simple. We want to help healthcare professionals to hearHER.

We'll be launching a challenge later today for you to get involved with, which will be a visual representation of the invisible challenges HG sufferers face.

Will you donate to help us educate healthcare professionals on how to hearHER better?

📣 PSS Announces Partnership with Replenish to Provide Options for Women Navigating Pregnancy Sickness 📣

We’re pleased to share a new partnership that’s founded from lived experience and a shared mission to change maternal health 💗

Replenish Electrolytes was created by Laura after her own journey through Hyperemesis Gravidarum - a journey where Pregnancy Sickness Support was there to ensure she wasn't navigating it alone.

Now, that experience has come full circle. We are proud to announce that Replenish have committed to donating £1 from every box sold directly to PSS, helping the charity continue our vital work supporting those affected by pregnancy sickness across the UK.

Replenish is an electrolyte and vitamin solution designed specifically to be palatable to women with pregnancy sickness. That means no bulky tablets, no high volume liquids and absolutely no ginger!

This partnership is built on mutual understanding of the toll of HG on women, and a continued commitment to turning that hardship into tangible support for others.🤰💞

Thank you, Laura, for choosing to support our work, and good luck with the launch!

Triggers in HG - Sunday Support 🫶

One of the hardest parts of living with Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy (NVP) or Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is how unpredictable and unavoidable triggers can be.

For people with HG, nausea and vomiting are often intensified by everyday things that are impossible to fully avoid.

Triggers can change day to day, and what’s tolerable one moment can feel unbearable the next. Avoidance isn’t always possible — and that’s not a failure.

Common triggers include:
🔸Smells
🔸Motion (this may be cars, screens, even standing up)
🔸An empty stomach (but sometimes eating too)
🔸Fatigue
🔸Lights
🔸Noise
🔸Stress

Reducing triggers where you can, resting as much as possible, and getting the right medical support can help — but sometimes survival is the goal, not control.

What did you find triggering?

If you want to talk about your triggers, our support team are here to listen. Call us on 0800 055 4361.

Olympic Medallist and former Team GB hockey player Leah Wilkinson bravely shares her HG story ahead of her Bath Half marathon challenge in aid of Pregnancy Sickness Support🏑🏅

Leah experienced vomiting up to 30 times a day when pregnant with her son, and found herself in and out of hospital for IV fluids and anti-sickness medication.

"During these dark months, I had support from the Charity Pregnancy Sickness Support" said Leah. "They advised me on how to access available NHS support (which is limited), educated me on what medication I could access, and were there to listen and help when I needed them."

"I want to do all I can to help give back to the charity and to enable them to continue the amazing job they do supporting so many women with HG."

Sadly, Leah's story is not uncommon. Can you answer the call of a sufferer like Leah? Donate £10 today and support HG sufferers across the UK. https://ow.ly/9WoT50YgYM0

Planning for Valentine's Day with Pregnancy Sickness 💕

Celebrating your love on Valentine's Day might normally involve flowers, chocolates and perfume. But to someone suffering with nausea and sickness, smells and tastes are the last thing that spells out love!

Here are some HG-friendly ideas of how you can show your love.

🔸Hair bobble or headband (for the inevitable bouts of sickness.)
🔸Comfy PJ's (if you're stuck in them, they might as well be pretty!)
🔸Cosy blanket
🔸A selection of tolerated snacks if there are any (nothing says 'I love you' more than an ice-pop.) But don't go wild with boxes and boxes of an item, as one thing tolerated today might be an absolute no-no by tomorrow!
🔸A token for a massage or meal for when the HG passes.
🔸A simple handwritten note or card, expressing your love in words.

Whether you choose to celebrate Valentine's Day or not, simply showing your appreciation to a sufferer will mean a lot.
