Hyperemesis Gravidarum in the Netherlands: Treatment, Advocacy, and Support

Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) affects over 3% of pregnancies in the Netherlands, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood complications of pregnancy. In this vital episode of Dam Parenting, Eva sits down with Jessica Sinay from Stichting ZEHG to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the reality of HG. Moving beyond the "morning sickness" myth, we discuss the relentless physical toll, the risk of dehydration, and the mental health challenges—including PTSD—that often follow.

Jessica shares her personal journey and provides essential information on Dutch treatment options, from common medications to the work of leading experts like Professor Rebecca Painter. We explore how international parents can access HG coaches, find private support communities for partners, and navigate the Dutch healthcare system with confidence. Whether you are currently battling HG or supporting someone who is, this episode is a roadmap for finding the compassionate care and medical recognition every family deserves.
