Description
Book synopsis
Only 3% of pregnant women have hyperemesis gravidarum which is morning sickness to an extreme level. When I experienced it with my first child, I was told it was unlikely to happen again. However, I experienced it with my second and third pregnancies as well. I was told there is not much you can do. I felt hopeless. I hope to share the story of how something difficult can bring life into the world and how my mental/emotional road to recovery is still in process.
