Vitamins & HG

Consent

Completing this survey helps us determine the usage and impact of vitamin supplementation during HG. We know that vitamin deficiencies cause symptoms common to HG like nausea, vomiting, weight loss, confusion, weakness, etc. If untreated, they can result in severe, potentially life-threatening complications. Some health issues and medications increase the risk of vitamin deficiencies. We will review your history and see if you have risks and symptoms of vitamin deficiencies, and see if you improve with supplementation. If possible, please retake this survey within 2 days of receiving vitamin supplementation.

You must be pregnant in order to complete this study.

Recommendations: If you may be vitamin B1/thiamin deficient, 100 mg IV is crucial with every bag of fluids, especially if you receive glucose. If IV thiamin is not an option, taking oral thiamin (50 mg) 3-5 times per day is crucial for at least 3-6 weeks, or until you are eating a good diet.
