Surviving Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Morning Sickness or Something More? Ft. Wisléne Riley | Womb & Word with Kim Marie

In this powerful second episode of Womb & Word, host Kim Marie sits down with guest Wisléne Riley to unpack the life-altering reality of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)—a condition far more serious than “just morning sickness.”

While nausea in pregnancy is common, HG is not. It can mean relentless vomiting, rapid weight loss, dehydration, hospitalizations, and deep emotional distress. Yet so many women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to simply “push through.”

In this episode, we discuss:

• The difference between typical morning sickness and Hyperemesis Gravidarum
• The physical and mental health toll of HG
• Advocacy tips if you’re not being taken seriously
• The importance of early intervention and informed care
• How faith, support, and education change outcomes

This conversation is for women who feel unheard, partners who want to understand, and families navigating high-risk pregnancy challenges.

You deserve care. You deserve to be believed. You deserve support.

Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, trying to conceive, or supporting someone who is—this episode will equip you with knowledge and confidence.
