If you’ve ever wondered whether your morning sickness is something more, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Dr Emily Rubinstein, women’s health GP, for an honest conversation about morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) - a condition that can make pregnancy incredibly challenging.
Together, we explore what HG really is, how it differs from typical morning sickness, and the treatment and support options available. My hope is that this episode helps you feel less alone and more empowered with knowledge to navigate pregnancy and seek the support you deserve.
In this episode, we chat about:
- What hyperemesis gravidarum is and how it differs from morning sickness
- Possible causes and risk factors that may increase your likelihood of experiencing HG
- When to seek help and how to advocate for yourself with healthcare providers
- Medical treatment options including vitamins, antihistamines, anti-emetics, and IV fluids
- Non-medical approaches such as food and fluid strategies, supplements, and complementary therapies
- The link between HG, pelvic floor health, and mental wellbeing
- Why a strong support system at home and in healthcare makes such a difference
- How to prepare for future pregnancies if you’ve experienced HG before

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
