Health Challenges and/or Chronic Pain

Here we'll discuss our personal experiences with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), hopefully finding camaraderie with each other in the process. HG is not your "normal" morning sickness, HG can last up to the entire length of the pregnancy, sometimes only subsiding at the point of labor, and can cause lasting effects for some women. While the full cause for HG is still unknown, it is understood to be caused by an increase of the HCG hormones which allows a women to maintain her pregnancy in the first place. 
Hello, I'm Amanda and I myself have survived HG through my first 2 pregnancies, each leaving me severely malnourished afterwards with months (non-consecutive) spent in the hospital. While currently on my 3rd pregnancy I want to share my experiences with other Mothers-to-be also suffering with HG as well as past survivors  and hear your stories in return. Hopefully we can all find solace with each other during our hard times finding hope and positivity in the sessions.

Surviving Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)

The sessions will take a synergistic approach to tobacco cessation among people in Rural Idaho specifically but is open to all. 
The host, a former smoker, has been trained at MD Anderson Cancer Center as a Tobacco Treatment Specialist and has Advanced Wellness Coach Certification. 
Smoking is much more common among adults with mental health conditions than those without mental health conditions. Almost 40% of all cigarettes smoked by U.S. adults are consumed by people with behavioral health conditions.
The most common causes of death among people with behavioral health (mental illness and substance use disorder) conditions are heart disease, cancer, and lung disease, which can all be caused by smoking.
The peer-to-peer topics will be around proven methods for quitting and building a supportive environment among peers. No clinical advice is offered.
