Welcome to It’s Not Just A Period!
We’re delighted to be joined by Laura Milward; pregnancy sickness advocate, and Dr Margaret O’Hara; scientist specialising in Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG).
Up to 90% of all women will experience pregnancy sickness to some degree but for women like Laura and Margaret it can turn into HG, a severe extreme version.
For 9 months Laura spent every single day living with nausea and vomiting countless times a day but was told nothing could be done to help her.
Together we discuss why treatments that have been available since the 1940’s aren’t accessible, the science behind HG and the devastating effects it can have on mothers and their babies.
