Hyperemesis Help: Real Relief, Real Care

Expert Care for Hyperemesis Relief

You don’t need to power through this alone.

At Hyperemesis Help, based at The Midwives House in Thornbury, Melbourne, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care for pregnancy nausea, vomiting, and hyperemesis gravidarum. Whether you’re newly pregnant and struggling to keep down water, or deep into the second trimester still searching for relief - we’re here to help.

I’m Tessa - a private midwife who’s lived through hyperemesis gravidarum myself. Twice.
I know how isolating, frightening, and relentless it can feel - and how hard it is to access real support. That’s why I created this service: so you can receive fast, effective care from someone who truly understands.

What We Offer:

~ Bulk-billed IV fluids for dehydration from nausea or vomiting — no hospital visit needed

~ One-on-one midwifery care, tailored to your individual situation

~ Referrals for advanced treatment options when needed

~ Holistic, whole-person support that honours your experience

How It Works:
Appointments are available at The Midwives House in Thornbury (inner north Melbourne) on Monday and Thursday mornings.
Not sure what kind of help you need? We’ll walk you through it step by step. You’re welcome to come in just once, or book ongoing support throughout your pregnancy.

IV therapy is fully bulk billed through Medicare, and we’ll handle all the logistics. Optional add-ons - like comfort packs, nutrition support, or emotional care - can be arranged to suit your needs.

This is hyperemesis support that meets you where you are.
Gentle. Effective. Rooted in lived experience.

Easy & Quick
