📣 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.

Let's Talk Ketones - Sunday Support 🫶

Here's the truth. Ketones are NOT a reliable measure of dehydration.

The RCOG 2024 guidelines are clear:
❌"Ketonuria is not an indicator of dehydration and should not be used to assess severity."
❌"Level of ketones should not be used to inform clinical decision making about treatments or hydration status."
❌"Assessing urinary ketones does not have a use in the management of NVP or HG and may be misleading."

You should be assessed based on clinical signs — like your pulse, blood pressure, urine output, symptoms such as dry mouth, dry lips, headaches, dizziness and how much fluid you can keep down — not on your ketones reading.

If you're concerned about dehydration, our team are here to support you seeking the right treatment and support. You can call our freephone helpline 0800 055 4361 or get in touch via our website for more support https://ow.ly/BN9e50Y7teF

How to Access IV Fluids - Sunday Support 🫶

If you’re feeling dehydrated and think you might need IV fluids, knowing how and where to get the right care in a timely manner can be difficult.

You can check your local hospital website to see if they've shared their treatment pathway for NVP (nausea and vomiting in pregnancy) or HG (hyperemesis gravidarum) – this can normally be found under Early Pregnancy Unit or Emergency Gynaecology Unit.

You can usually access fluids in hospital through either:
🔸A GP referral
🔸A&E
🔸Self-referral (although this is less common)
🔸If it’s out of hours, call NHS 111 and they can book you in with an out-of-hours GP or an Urgent Treatment Centre where you can be assessed.

Tip: If you do get IV fluids in hospital, ask before leaving whether you can self-refer next time if you need to come back, to avoid delay of treatment.

As always, you can call our freephone helpline 0800 055 4361 or get in touch via our website for more support https://ow.ly/1OZJ50Y4SVH

💩 Constipation and Ondansetron - Sunday Support 🫶

If you are currently taking, or have previously taken Ondansetron, you may well be aware of one of its most common (and frustrating) side effects.

Constipation.

When you’re already dehydrated, weak, and barely functioning from non-stop nausea/vomiting, dealing with painful, stubborn constipation is just one more thing and many factors that HG sufferers face just don’t help – e.g. having a very limited diet, reduced fluid intake and being bedbound.

A few things that might help:
🔸Hydrate as much as you can – easier said than done, but sips of fluid, ice lollies/ice pops, and any foods high in water content that you can manage may help to reduce symptoms.
🔸Add in fibre when tolerated – things like pears or prune juice, smoothies and whole grains.
🔸Gentle movement (if possible) – this can be as much as light stretching or a gentle walk.
🔸Ask your doctor or pharmacist about pregnancy safe stool softeners or laxatives. Some laxatives require water intake to work effectively, so it’s important to discuss the safest option with a medical professional and address any symptoms of dehydration.
🔸If things worsen, don’t hesitate to seek medical help.

❓Have you found something that works for you?
Drop your best constipation tips in the comments — let’s help each other survive this part too.
