'I was being sick up to 30 times a day when pregnant'

Two-thirds of women with extreme sickness in pregnancy are not given enough information or the drugs to treat it, charities say.
In a survey of nearly 400 women with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), half also said accessing care was difficult.

Joanna Gosling discussed the issue with studio guests who have suffered from HG.
