There is a worldwide well and good wishes for the Duchess of Cambridge who still remains in the hospital due to severe morning sickness.
How severe is severe morning sickness?
Severe morning sickness
It is not uncommon for pregnant women to experience morning sickness, particularly during the first few months of pregnancy.
But some women (around one in every 200) experience severe nausea and vomiting, which continues throughout pregnancy.
This condition is known as hyperemesis gravidarum or HG and needs specialist treatment and often requires a stay in hospital.
The main danger is dehydration – it can be difficult to keep enough fluid down orally.
Doctors can treat HG with medication to help ease the nausea. HG is unlikely to cause harm to your baby. However, if it causes weight loss during pregnancy there is an increased risk that your baby may be born with a low birth weight.
