00:00Women in your local parish moms group, there is a great need for this specific type of

00:08ministry, helping out pregnant mothers who suffer with HG.

00:12HG stands for hyperemesis gravidarum.

00:15HG is severe and prolonged morning sickness.

00:18It often results in malnourishment and dehydration.

00:22It is such a significant cross to carry.

00:25It truly is nothing like regular morning sickness.

00:28If you know anyone who is suffering from HG, a great thing to do is just contact them,

00:33ask them how you can help.

00:35Offer to pick up groceries, offer to cook for their children, offer to watch their children

00:40so they can go get infusions done at the hospital.

00:43There's truly so many ways to help out.

00:45We've done this for mothers in my local parish playgroup and it has been so impactful.

00:50And this is such a beautiful way to take care of the sick.
