Hyperemesis gravidarum is severe, persistent vomiting in pregnancy — far beyond normal morning sickness. The mother cannot keep food or fluids down, loses weight, and becomes dehydrated. It affects 1-3% of pregnancies and often needs IV fluids, anti-vomiting medicines, and sometimes hospital admission. It is treatable and usually improves after the first trimester.
