Abstract

Hyper-emesis gravid-arum is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, (hyper-emesis education and research foundation, HER, 2006). This condition causes excessive pregnancy related nausea and vomiting that prevents adequate intake of food and fluids. In untreated cases (or) severe cases of HG, a client could have weight loss, dehydration with the production of ketones, Nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, difficulty with daily activities, psychosocial stress, depression (HER). For many women, hyper-emesis gravid-arum commences between the 4th and 6th week of pregnancy with symptoms improving by the 15th to 20th week of gestation (HER). Hyper-emesis gravid-arum negatively impacts both the mother and the developing fetus. Studies have shown that those infants exposed to HG in utero are significantly more likely to have a low-birth weight (Bailit, 2005; Dodds et.al.,2006) Another study indicated that those infants exposed to HG are more likely to born earlier, be small for gestational age may die between 24 and 30 weeks of gestation compared with infants not exposed to HG (Bailit).
