The creation of an association usually starts with a life trial.

 

For several weeks, I was wasting away in bed, crushed by constant nausea and uncontrollable vomiting spasms. I had lost all autonomy, surviving through subcutaneous hydration infusion. Nobody wanted to hear my distress. For some, I was vomiting my baby, for others, this pregnancy was unwanted, or worse, they believed I was subjecting myself to these conditions out of fear of losing my baby again.

 

Ellie, our daughter, wouldn't be among us if I hadn't met a gynecology intern during a dating appointment to validate the abortion. She became aware of the gravity of the situation and informed me that there was a treatment that could help me and spare me from aborting this much-desired baby.

 

At that moment, despair turned into anger and incomprehension. Why had I been allowed to go this far if there was a solution? Even though the treatment wasn't miraculous, it allowed me to carry my pregnancy to term.

 

On January 31, 2022, at eight and a half months pregnant, Ellie came into the world weighing 2.555kg. We are so fulfilled! But we knew we had to help other women who are going through or have been through the same battle.

 

The right to health is crucial. According to the WHO, this includes access to timely, acceptable healthcare of good quality at an affordable cost.

 

We'll fight until the end to ensure that the right to health for all women suffering from HG is no longer violated.

 

Note: This association was created as a family, and we wish to perpetuate this cherished familial aspect.
