September is Sepsis Awareness Month, and this year’s theme is “It Starts with Sepsis.” That’s why we’re shining a light on how Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) can lead to sepsis, and what we can all do to stay informed. HG is a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. HG

#LookingForward 2025 Here are a few of the key programs we are excited to bring to life. From all of us at APEC Ghana, Thank You for your ongoing support ! #maternalhealth #newbornhealth #HDP #SDG3

Today is #MaternalHealth Awareness Day, and we know what’s at stake. Hyperemesis Gravidarum contributes to the leading causes of maternal mortality. How? HG increases the risk of #mentalhealth conditions, cardiac conditions, hypertensive disorders, hemorrhage, and sepsis.

January is #BirthDefectAwareness Month. Addison was born with vitamin K embryopathy due to #hyperemesisgravidarum. Simple vitamin infusions during her mother’s HG pregnancy could have prevented this complication. Nutrition before & during pregnancy can prevent some birth defects.

Last week we welcomed the 119th Congress and look forward to working to ensure that key federal priorities, like the PREEMIE Act, Preventing Maternal Deaths Act and SHINE for Autumn Act are enacted in the 119th Congress. Join us by becoming an advocate: https://t.co/suGfi5fwqA
