#1 Nausea is worse than pain. I remember thinking this during the early days of my first pregnancy, a pregnancy I had prayed and wept for, despaired about, and agonized over. But 6 weeks in, I found that I was hating every moment.

#2 Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is a common problem that affects 70 to 90 percent of pregnant women. It is unclear if it is a disease or just a part of what it means to be pregnant.

#3 All maternal intake has a cost and a benefit, and there is always a limit to what medicine can do. When NVP is more severe, there can be higher prices to pay.

#4 Hyperemesis gravidarum is the darker side of NVP. It is the same product with the same packaging, but now with 20 percent more suffering and 60 percent more intractability. It was common in the mid-nineteenth century to induce premature labor in patients with HEG.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is the darker side of NVP. It is the same product with the same packaging, but now with 20 percent more suffering and 60 percent more intractability. It was common in the mid-nineteenth century to induce premature labor in patients with HEG.

#5

The condition became less fatal but continued to be common, and doctors began to turn to the nonphysical to explain what was going on. Neurology was poorly understood, but the malfunction of the nervous system seemed a reasonable explanation for NVP and HEG.

The neurotic theory of HEG never went unopposed. Doctors recalled the history of fatalities from HEG and reminded their colleagues that no one dies from hysterics, and when a patient perishes from her disease, even if it greatly resembles hysterics, that is sufficient proof that it has not been hysterics.
