As follow up to my previous post, check out this great article by Theresa Yoshioka which was published in February's The Interim. And check out my letter to the editor as published in March's issue:
Thank you, thank you, thank you for Theresa Yoshioka's article on Hyperemisis
Gravidarum, or HG. ("When coffee breath hinders and saltines don't help," February) The lack of medical and societal support for mothers suffering through this condition is truly awful. The isolation in dealing with this illness is incredible. I had this condition for seven months during each of my three pregnancies, and I can understand how an HG mother would be driven over the edge, to the point to even consider killing her baby. Thank you for highlighting another way pro-lifers can help support mothers and their unborn children.
It had been several years since I had written a letter to the editor. Nothing like vomit to bring me out of the woodwork!
