** Hello **

I am looking desperately for a good or any Doctor/Specialist in the UK to talk about HG. There is no help here and as i am TTC at the moment, i really need to find the support.

Hope someone can help.

Thank you

Hi Milly,

Dr Catherine Nelson-Piercy

Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital
10th Floor, North Wing
St Thomas’ Hospital
Lambeth Palace Road

I have been doing a little research. This lady had been doing research about HG in the UK. I thought you may be able to contact her. She may have ideas on other doc's closer to you??? I'll keep looking for you. Maybe I'll be able to find someone in Scotland. :)

I thought these may be helpful. Although they don't list HG specirfically they do list nutrition during preganancy, and prepregnancy councelling which is what I am looking for right now.

They may be worth looking into.
