At Pregnancy Sickness Support we provide a specialist counselling service to support women and birthing people who have been impacted by both nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).
NVP/HG can affect you in many ways and across different areas of your life. We understand that the effects of NVP/HG are not limited to the physical symptoms of the condition and can impact your mental health and well-being, your career and your relationships with others.
While each person’s journey will be individual, we know that there are often heavy emotions associated with the condition. We understand that feelings of loss, guilt, depression, anxiety, shame, isolation and loneliness are common, although all feelings and responses are valid.
The impact of NVP/HG may be due to living with the symptoms now or due to the lasting effects of experiencing the condition in the past, even if you did not receive a formal diagnosis at the time.
Experiencing NVP/HG can be traumatic, and in many cases, sufferers do not receive the support and treatment they so desperately need.
Our counsellors are experienced in providing counselling to NVP/HG sufferers and have an in-depth understanding of the condition and how it can impact you.
We provide counselling to women and birthing people whilst they are pregnant and post NVP/HG.
You can access our counselling service whether you experienced NVP/HG 40 years ago or 4 months ago.
We are here to hear you, validate you and support you.
More than 25% of people suffering from HG will have suicidal thoughts, if you need to speak to someone urgently you can call the Samaritans on 116 123 or call 999, or text ‘SHOUT’ to 85258 to contact the Shout Crisis text line.
Update to counselling service
