About my condition

Based on my symptoms and weight change, could this be Hyperemesis Gravidarum rather than typical morning sickness?

What is your experience treating HG?

Treatment

What treatment should we start with — and what is the next step if it does not work?

At what point should I come in for IV fluids?

Are there safety considerations for these medications I should understand?

Monitoring & access

How will we track my hydration, weight, and lab work through this pregnancy?

Who do I contact after hours if I cannot keep fluids down?

Is there a nurse line, HG protocol, or urgent hydration option in this practice?

Daily life & emotional health

Can you document my condition for my employer or for time off?

Can we talk about how I am coping emotionally, not just physically?

What should my partner or family watch for at home, and when should they call on my behalf?
