HG and Work Impact Study
Did you experience Hyperemesis Gravidarum in your pregnancy?
Were you trying to work at the time?
Dr Rosie Gilderthorp, Clinical Psychologist from Know Your Mind Consulting, HG survivor and MBA student at Warwick University, would like to find out more about how going through HG impacts on sufferers working lives and what workplaces could do to support them.
How can you get involved? Taking part in this research study would involve a short interview with Dr Rosie Gilderthorp over zoom. To find out more please email direct: rosanna.gilderthorp@warwick.ac.uk
Kings College London Study - Mental Health
Have you experienced severe vomiting and nausea in pregnancy (or been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum) in the last 2 years?
Can you take part in a one-off focus group to help us design a supportive intervention for people with this problem in pregnancy?

The UK Birth Experience Study
The ‘BESt-UK’ team has launched the ‘The UK Birth Experience Study’.
What is the study for? The overall purpose of the project is to understand women and birthing people’s experiences of childbirth in the UK. In addition, they aim to understand:
• The factors that contribute to a good or bad birth experience.
• The prevalence of birth trauma and obstetric violence in the UK.
• How different models of care impact women and birthing people’s childbirth experiences.
*To be eligible to complete the survey you need to have given birth within the last five years i.e. from June 2019 onwards, living in the UK.
In particular, this research aims to reach women and birthing people in the UK from marginalised communities including (but not limited to):
• People from racially minoritised groups
• Members of the LGBTQIA+ community
• Those affected by any kind of disability
• Those who gave birth when they were 25 years old or younger
• People who do not speak English as a first language.
