In reply to the discussion: Duchess of Cambridge pregnant [View all]laundry_queen
(8,646 posts)There is a serious condition that some pregnant women get that is like morning sickness on steroids (read some of the posts, someone explains it, hyperemesis gravidarum, very dangerous - women used to die from it before iv's and anti-nausea drugs). My friend had this and basically was admitted to the hospital every other week or so, and was given meds that finally helped her stay home (but not stop barfing 10 times a day, but at least it wasn't 30 times/day). Having had 4 kids myself, I understand morning sickness, but this is another beast all together. My friend said she barfed right up until labor and as soon as the baby was out, she asked for food, as she hadn't felt that hungry (and not nauseous) in 9 months. She lost 10 lbs during the 9 months and cried when she found out she was pregnant again 17 months later because she was so worried about a repeat performance (luckily that didn't happen). One of my mom's co-workers spent weeks in the hospital with it, waited 7 years to have another and had the same thing happen again.
I'd say your pick of things to attack Kate on was weak. Best to know what you are talking about first if you are going to mock someone for something.
