Pregnant Kate Middleton has HG - Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Pregnant Kate Middleton has HG - Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Hopefully such a well known public figure will bring some attention and awareness to this debilitating pregnancy condition! I know no one understood when I was suffering from it, I feel for her as I'm sure other Bump Mom's who've suffered through it do as well

Not gonna happen. Most people are treating it like she has been hospitalized for morning sickness and general pukiness. So lack of understanding will still be there I am afraid.

I agree. Hopefully after she goes through this, she'll raise some awareness. I was back in the ED again today for fluids. It feels never ending when you're going through it.

I went through it too my entire 1st trimester, and a few weeks into my 2nd.  It was awful!  I lost about 20 pounds as a result, was hospitalized several times, and had weekly fluids via an IV.  People are so insensitive, and definitely don't understand.  Before I was pregnant, I had a friend at work who was pregnant.  She had HG, and my boss said "it's all in her head."  When I was diagnosed with it early on in my pregnancy, I kind of threw it back in my bosses face.  For another woman to be so insensitive about things like this is just absurd!
