I am going to be sending out a flyer to start with just asking UK ladies to post them on clinic notice boards with permission and maybe speak to local midmives GP etc.......starting small aiming HIGH!


How far into your pregnancy are you and is this your first?


Look forward to chatting with you.

Kindest regards

Louise

I'm late to this forum (just now finding it). But I'm in Philadephia, PA. I'm an HG survivor and I gave birth to two children. I suffered with HG with both prenancies. I would be happy to be of support to any woman needing it. I'm also certified as a lactation counselor.

I posted my HG story some years ago on on the HUGS site.

Thanks for volunteering, Michelle and Lisa. You can get in touch with anyone on these forums either by private message (the "PM" button at the bottom of a post) or email (the "email" button, though some members do not authorize email contact). If you see someone whose story is compelling, feel free to send a message!

For the volunteer list, we keep a list of HG survivors who are willing to get in contact with others in their area. I need your name, location, and email address, and when someone near you asks for support I get in touch and see if you're available. You can PM or email me with your information, and I'll let you know when there's a match. I appreciate your willingness to help!

Thanks, Ladies! I'm always happy to add more contacts to the list. I'll email you to make sure I have the correct information; if you don't hear from me, be sure to let me know. :D

I don't know if I ever offered to help. If not, I'd love to be a buddy to someone. My hg was not as severe as many since my Dr did not direct me to IV's and such.. but I'd love to help.

Thanks, Crystalyn. I'll make sure I have you down. We don't care about severity; most HGers are just happy to hear from someone who doesn't recommend crackers and ginger ale! :wink:

I'd like to help

I'm new to the forums and it looks like my state already has several volunteers, but I'd like to help in any way that I can, so if I'm needed, call on me!
I'm in Utah.

Thanks, Tina! We can never have too many volunteers in one area. I've been trying to send out group emails in places where we have a good number of HGers in close vicinity, so if you'd like to see if someone is near you, let me know where and I'll find out. Some of the Utah gals have met and are quite close. :)

Hi,
My name is Christy and I think I signed up when I was pregnant but got so sick that I didn't get on the computer again. Now I have a beautiful 4 week old and would love to help others who are suffering from HG. I live in NW Indiana (Chicago-Land) also not far from Michigan if there are people in SW Michigan.
I have survived 2 HG pregnancies and unfortunately I think we're done b/c of it. I really hope I can help.
Thanks,
Christy
