How do I know if this is more than morning sickness?

If she is vomiting more than a few times a day and losing weight, she might have HG. If she cannot keep enough water down to stay hydrated, is vomiting bile or blood, and has lost more than 1-2 pounds (0.45-0.9 kg) in a week, she likely has HG. Women with HG often have great difficulty taking care of their normal responsibilities and/or going to work for weeks or months. In more severe cases, they may have trouble even caring for themselves, such as showering and preparing food. Medical intervention is critical for these women.
