Senate Resolution No. 360 designates May 15, 2025, as Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Day in Texas. This observance aims to raise awareness about hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a severe pregnancy-related condition characterized by extreme nausea and vomiting, which can lead to significant health risks for both mothers and their babies. The resolution highlights the importance of early diagnosis and tailored care for patients, as HG can begin as early as the fourth week of pregnancy and is often underdiagnosed. With nearly 6 million women affected globally and a significant number of hospitalizations in Texas, the resolution emphasizes the need for increased public education and research on this serious condition.

The resolution calls on all Texans to learn more about hyperemesis gravidarum and its implications, as it poses serious risks such as weight loss, dehydration, and potential complications for newborns. By recognizing this day, the Texas Senate aims to unite the community in improving outcomes for those affected by HG and to advocate for better understanding and support for patients experiencing this challenging condition.
