For many women, pregnancy sickness is not just in the morning and it is not just sickness. For many, it is a devastating condition that blights their entire pregnancy.

For many women, pregnancy sickness is not just in the morning and it is not just sickness. Hyperemesis gravidarum is a devastating condition that blights some women's entire pregnancy. 麻豆社 correspondent, Daniela Relph was one of them. In this edition of 5 Minutes On, she meets women who have been through the same. It is their experiences that are now part of the UK鈥檚 biggest ever study into the condition, which has just been published. The study found some women terminated their pregnancies because they felt so unwell, while others had considered suicide. Researchers hope their work will help improve the care women receive and give doctors and nurses more guidance on safe medications to treat the condition.
