Bill > HR211

This resolution recognizes hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a severe form of morning sickness affecting 1-3% of pregnant women characterized by persistent vomiting, significant weight loss, and potential medical complications. The resolution highlights the serious medical and psychological impacts of HG, including potential risks such as dehydration, weight loss, preterm labor, fetal malformations, and negative psychosocial effects like depression and anxiety. By emphasizing that healthcare providers often dismiss or inadequately understand the condition, the resolution calls for increased awareness and research. Specifically, it encourages state research institutions to study HG to improve the quality of life for pregnant individuals experiencing this condition. The resolution also directs the House of Representatives Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to research institution presidents and make copies available to the public and press, thereby promoting broader understanding and potential medical advancement in addressing this challenging pregnancy condition.
