Rebbetzin Ruthie Halberstadt: Reflections on How I Survived My Pregnancies with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG):

In this episode, we are privileged to have Rebbetzin Ruthie Halberstadt as our guest. Ruthie shares her journey of battling the debilitating illness of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) during her pregnancies.Initially overcome and over shadowed by constant nausea, vomiting, and physical discomfort, Ruthie's experience with HG changed when she accepted and even learnt to embrace the illness. Through learning to receive the maximum medical help she needed during pregnancy and also to prepare properly, she learnt to change her experience and her mindset.This enabled her to create a supportive environment for herself and her growing family. She went on to have more children despite the continuing challenges with HG. Ruthie's story and insights now inspire and guide other women facing this condition through her lectures, website hghelp.co.uk, and popular book.
