About Shifrah: Shifrah provides guidance, education, and vital support to women suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) — a severe pregnancy condition that can cause extreme physical symptoms, emotional isolation, and trauma, much of which is preventable. Shifrah’s founder and director, Mrs. Shayna Safran, experienced multiple HG pregnancies, leaving her with preventable complications. She established Shifrah so all women with HG can get the care and support they deserve. Our Mission & Vision: Shifrah empowers and assists women affected by HG through education, advocacy, treatment guidance, and emotional support. We envision a future where every HG pregnancy is met with early diagnosis, effective care, and compassionate support, empowering women to grow their families with safe and healthy pregnancies. Understanding Hyperemesis Gravidarum: HG is not morning sickness. It is a debilitating condition, with a genetic cause, characterized by severe nausea with or without vomiting during pregnancy. HG limits a woman’s ability to eat, drink, and function – causing relentless physical suffering and emotional trauma. Without proper treatment, HG often leads to dehydration, malnutrition, and weight loss, and can be life-threatening to both mother and baby. Shifrah’s Services: When HG strikes, Shifrah steps in with immediate crisis support, personalized treatment plans, and trusted medical referrals to stabilize women suffering from HG, and guide families through recovery and preparation for future pregnancies. Through direct provider consults and our Healthcare Provider Treatment Guide, we equip clinicians to recognize and treat HG safely and effectively. Our professionally led support groups for women during HG, survivors, and husbands provide validation and connection, reducing trauma and isolation. In addition, by educating Rabbanim, Kallah Teachers, and community leaders, Shifrah builds awareness so women receive care earlier—improving outcomes and saving lives. info@shifrah.org 845-202-2158
