I woke up one morning with a very heavy nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomach and knew I was pregnant. This was the start of an eight-month battle with hyperemesis gravidarum. Suffering from HG with the endless days of nausea, vomiting, weight loss, dehydration and hospital admissions can take you to some very dark places mentally, but it’s all worth it in the end though because you get to go home with a baby in your arms right?
