Location Served: USA
Shifrah supports women experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a severe pregnancy condition marked by extreme nausea, vomiting, and related complications. The organization provides tailored guidance for navigating HG, helping women manage both the physical and emotional toll of the condition. Its services are designed to reduce isolation, promote safety, and equip women with the tools they need to advocate for proper care.
Shifrah offers education about HG to women, healthcare providers, and rabbinic leaders. It helps connect patients with evidence-based treatment options and strategies, including medications, hydration plans, and nutritional support. The organization also assists women in identifying medical professionals who are knowledgeable about HG management, and it promotes awareness of how to avoid common risks and mismanagement.
In addition to medical guidance, Shifrah provides emotional support through individualized follow-up and peer connections. Women receive validation and encouragement throughout their pregnancy journey, particularly in cases where the severity of HG impacts daily functioning or family life. The organization plays a key role in bridging the gap between patients, providers, and community understanding.
