The question "What is HG in babies?" is unclear. "HG" most commonly refers to Hyperemesis Gravidarum. If the question implies, "What is the effect of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) on babies?", here's the information:
Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, which can lead to significant maternal nutritional deficiencies. While HG directly affects the pregnant mother, maternal undernutrition caused by HG can have adverse health outcomes for the offspring.
-
Maternal undernutrition: When a mother experiences severe nausea and vomiting due to HG, it may cause her difficulty eating and retaining nutrients. This can lead to undernutrition.
-
Adverse offspring health outcomes: Maternal undernutrition has been associated with adverse offspring health outcomes.
In summary, while babies don't directly have Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), they can be affected by the condition through maternal undernutrition that results from HG.
