Hyperemesis Gravidarum is a severe clinical condition characterized by extreme, persistent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that surpasses the common experience of morning sickness. This condition typically manifests in the first trimester and can lead to significant weight loss, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances.

Symptoms usually peak between nine and twelve weeks of gestation and may persist throughout the pregnancy for some individuals.
