And not to be the super-annoying fact-cheching commenter or anything (which I guess I totally am going to do that right now though), but I hate that the media keeps calling Hyperemesis Gravidarum “intense morning sickness,” it’s actually totally different from normal morning sickness (even though even the freaking Mayo Clinic calls it that!), and it’s a really, really shitty thing to have. I have a friend that had it with her kid, and after a really rough pregnancy and premature birth, she was strongly advised to not get pregnant again as in her case another pregnancy could be potentially fatal for her and/or the baby (though I guess she did have an unusually serious case). It’s also not unheard of for women to terminate second pregnancies specifically because they had Hyperemesis Gravidarum the first time around either, and it can seriously lead to al sorts of nightmarish surf like kidney failure and esophogeal tearing According to my friend, only 1% of pregnant woman have it…so what I’m saying is, Kate Middleton may very well be a pussy, but probably not because of this. (Also, I really, really love it that we all still call her “Kate Middleton” instead of “Duchess Catherine,” or whatever).
