The harsh reality of ‘extreme morning sickness’ | Letters

The article discusses the harsh reality of hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness. Dr. Wendy Bryant, who has experienced it herself, responds to Abi Stephenson's article on the topic. Bryant empathizes with Stephenson's experience, recalling her own two pregnancies in the early 1990s that were marked by intense nausea and vomiting. She wonders if her daughter might also inherit this predisposition, as she did from her own mother. The article highlights the physical and emotional toll of this condition, which goes beyond the typical "morning sickness" and can make some women question whether they will survive the pregnancy. The article serves as a reminder of the need for greater awareness and understanding of hyperemesis gravidarum and its severe impact on pregnant women.
