What: A British mother is speaking out about losing her pregnant daughter to suicide, due to hyperemesis gravidarum that went untreated. Jess Cronshaw was 28 weeks pregnant when she died, and had experienced constant nausea and couldn’t eat or drink without vomiting throughout her entire pregnancy. A call to a local hospital led to her getting incorrect advice to wean herself off anti-nausea medication. Jess’ baby, Elsie, was born via C-section but died four days later.

Key line: “At the inquest into Jess and Elsie’s deaths in January 2024, coroner Kate Bissett concluded that failings in Jess’ care contributed to the deterioration in her mental health. She highlighted a lack of mental health exploration at routine antenatal appointments and the incorrect advice to wean off anti-sickness medication.”
