      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to all the women universally who endured immeasurable suffering caused by severe morning sickness and/or hyperemesis gravidarum. Your suffering is clearly without parallel.

      For those who prevailed to give birth to a child, congratulation is too small a word to describe your accomplishment. Your perseverance is in and of itself the first miracle.

      There should be some sort of unique Purple Heart Motherhood international emblem, a special Medal of Valor, for women who fall victim to this age-old malady. If there were, I would have given it to Anuja, Jacinta, Laura, Caroline, Fabiola, Genelle, Carrie, Amy, Karen, Donna, Natasha, Suzanne, Marie, Sandra, Margaret C, Margaret H., Kathleen, Debbie I., Deborah M., Heidi, Christine W., Katarina, Angela, Shavron, and hundreds of women who’ve been ill that I have not personally met

      Foreword

      Morning sickness — often referred to in medical jargon as nausea and vomiting of pregnancy — is extremely common. So common, in fact, that it is regarded as a ‘normal’ physiologic event, with more than two-thirds of women suffering from morning sickness in early pregnancy. My wife and I have 3 kids, and we knew exactly when we conceived each time because, even before the home pregnancy test turned positive, she would develop intense nausea on kissing me goodbye as I left for work in the morning.

Knowing that the symptoms are self-limiting often encourages women, but
