Thanks for joining me on this journey to raising awareness for HG sufferers! We can do this, we can get the message out there and we can invoke change.

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton

Today was the hardest. Today was all about me and my story. Today was me being interviewed by the lovely Hannah a psychologist who agreed to talk to me and help me through my story. I cried and I laughed and I spoke. #filming #thesickfilm #hyperemesisgravidarum #hyperemesis #hyperemesisgravidarumsurvivor

Best news ever to end the day with. Congrats to @pregnancysicknesssupport I can only imagine how it must have felt when you got the news. Posted @withrepost • @pregnancysicknesssupport We are thrilled to announce that Pregnancy Sickness Support has been awarded funding from The National Lottery Community Fund. Pregnancy Sickness Support has been awarded funding for 3 years to cover core costs of the Volunteer Support Network and help the HG Community thrive in England What the funding will enable us to do: *Break down barriers and increase our reach to wider community groups. *Increase the number of contacts made to the helpline so that more people and their families can be supported. *Recruit and train more Support Volunteers so that the increase in demand to our support network can be met. *Produce evidence based information in relevant forms. *Increase access to education for healthcare professionals about the condition. *Facilitate and encourage further service development throughout the UK. *Lead the public conversation around the subject through social and mainstream media to raise awareness and erode stigmas *Facilitate, encourage and support further research into the condition, its impacts and its treatments enabling the voices of people with HG to be heard within the research process. Chairperson Caitlin Dean said, "This is a momentous moment for our small charity to grow and provides the recognition of the hard work and huge impact we are having nationally. The validation this provides our sufferers and volunteers is just wonderful; Hyperemesis Gravidarum is a serious condition worthy of a well-funded charity to support those affected."

A snippet from the film Sick. Being released early this year. If you know anyone who would be interested in this film and Hyperemesis, please ask them to follow us. We need to show people that this has an audience, TV execs have been sympathetic and they love the film but still convinced that people won’t watch something about “women’s issues”. I whole heartedly disagree. #hyperemesisgravidarum #hyperemesis #hyperemesisgravidarumawareness #hyperemesisawareness #hyperemesissurvivor #hyperemesisgravidarumsucks #hyperemesisbabies #hyperemesisgravidarium

Well this is very moving. From the Miracles of St Stephen. There was a Carthaginian lady, of noble descent, even nobler in her faith in Christ, named Megetia, rich in the world, even richer in God. Her Christian mother was named Vitula, but her husband, her father-in-law and her father were pagans. She was pregnant, four months since conception. As she was affected with nausea and retching, she suffered from shaking of the stomach, distention of the mouth, vomiting, bad health and illness, so much so that, I do not know how, a paralysis ensued. Just as her teeth and windpipes came out of their sockets, she was no longer able to close her broken mouth, nor could she accomplish the usual and simple movements of the palate and tongue in order either to send something out of the mouth or take something into the mouth. This pious and chaste woman gained an appearance that was deformed and repulsive, and she had stains and blemishes [sc. pregnancy mask] marked on a part of the body where they cannot be hidden: indeed they were on her face, of which someone once said ‘the forehead holds forth people, and it cannot be covered without shame’.

2019 and the decade that was the 10s. You have me this amazing boy, who surprises me everyday. Cheers to all the mothers that couldn’t be. The mothers like me, the mothers who have to be one and done. To the mothers who can do more than one but who sacrifice more than anyone could know. I hear you. Here’s to the Sick film gaining momentum and shocking the world. Happy New Years again to all you HG warriors. I ❤️ you x
