Hyperemesis linked to CP??

I'm looking to piece some things together, I was wondering if any Mums of children with CP had Hyperemesis during pregnany?  It would be great to learn from you.

Hi angel_haze,

How are you? Hyperemesis gravidarum is a very common occurrence during the first trimester of pregnancy. This excessive nausea and/or vomiting which can lead to decreased food and fluid intake is mainly attributed to the amount of bHCG in the blood.

I know of no convincing evidence that the hyperemesis  causes  CP. The exact causes of most cases of CP are unknown, but many are the result of problems during pregnancy in which the brain is either damaged or doesn't develop normally. This can be due to infections, maternal health problems, or something else that interferes with oxygen reaching the fetal brain. Problems during labor and delivery can cause CP in some cases.

I hope this helps. Take care and regards.
