Severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy can leave you feeling drained, dehydrated, and worried about your baby’s health. If you’re vomiting multiple times a day, losing weight, and struggling to keep fluids down, you may be experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum—a condition far more severe than typical morning sickness. You deserve relief that helps you feel better quickly and supports your pregnancy journey.
At Nervana Medical in Sandy, UT, we offer hospital-quality hyperemesis gravidarum IV therapy. Led by Cassandra Debenham, ACNP-BC, our team has decades of combined medical experience and is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care when you need it most.
What Is Hyperemesis Gravidarum?
Hyperemesis gravidarum is a pregnancy condition that causes frequent, severe vomiting throughout the day. Unlike morning sickness, which affects many pregnant individuals with mild to moderate nausea, hyperemesis gravidarum involves persistent vomiting that can lead to significant weight loss and dehydration. Symptoms typically begin during the first two to three months of pregnancy, and while most people feel better by mid-pregnancy, some experience symptoms until late pregnancy.
Symptoms of Hyperemesis Gravidarum
If you’re experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum, you may notice several concerning symptoms beyond frequent vomiting:
- Vomiting multiple times daily, often unable to keep food or fluids down
- Significant weight loss during pregnancy
- Dark yellow urine, indicating dehydration
- Urinating less frequently than usual
- Dizziness when standing up
- Extreme fatigue and weakness
These symptoms can severely impact your quality of life and require medical intervention to protect both your health and your baby’s development.
How Hyperemesis Gravidarum IV Therapy Works
Our premium hyperemesis gravidarum IV therapy is specifically designed to replenish fluids and electrolytes, reduce nausea-related dehydration, and support healthy hydration levels during pregnancy. The treatment delivers essential fluids directly into your bloodstream through a small tube inserted into a vein, bypassing your digestive system entirely. This allows your body to absorb the hydration and nutrients it desperately needs without triggering nausea or vomiting.
Your IV therapy includes intravenous hydration, vitamins to help reduce nausea, and if needed, safe anti-nausea medications to stop persistent vomiting. Each treatment is customized to your specific symptoms and needs.

Your Baby’s Health and Safety
We understand your primary concern is your baby’s well-being. Research shows that babies born to individuals with hyperemesis gravidarum may be slightly smaller than average, but the condition typically doesn’t cause other problems for your baby. The anti-nausea medications used during IV therapy are safe for pregnancy and should not affect your baby’s development. Our experienced providers carefully select treatments that prioritize both your comfort and your baby’s safety.
Taking vitamins containing at least 400 micrograms of folic acid before and during early pregnancy may help prevent nausea and vomiting while reducing the risk of certain birth defects.
