It's time morning sickness was taken seriously.

My pregnancy coincided with a UK Covid lockdown, so being admitted to hospital for treatment wasn’t offered, and I doubt I would have gone anyway - the thought of catching the virus simultaneously was unimaginable. My GP prescribed nothing but travel sickness tablets and ginger tea. They were about as effective as a Tigger plaster on a gunshot wound.

Kristina felt that as well as her GP, her midwife was also dismissive. “I told her how low I was feeling and she brushed it off by saying that was just because I was being sick. But having sickness that severe, for that long, has more than a physical impact, it took a real toll on my mental health too. There weren’t any referrals made to people to talk to or groups to join, yet HG and pregnancy sickness are so common.
