Customer Reviews

Excellent survival guide for women with HG and their families

Anyone who is going through or has been through HG or knows someone who has been through HG, will be deeply touched and helped by this book. Ms. McCall handles an extremely painful subject with sincerity, dignity, intelligence, thoroughness, and even humor that can make the most severe cases laugh out loud. And anyone thinking about pregnancy again after suffering from HG will benefit by reading this book in preparation for their next pregnancy.

A great book on HG for suffers and those who love them

With my 4 pregnancies I have felt yucky some of the time and so when I heard from other people that they were sick all the time, I naturally just said, "Yep, I know what you mean". Oh boy, after reading this book I now know that I DO NOT know what they mean! When you hear one HG story, it is easy to wonder if it is really that bad or if your friend is just wimpy. However when you read Ashli's book you come away with an understanding of the medical information as well as some understanding as to how it feels to have this dreadful condition. This book alternates between a personal story, many that are deeply honest, followed by a chapter of medical information. This format makes the book easy to read (even though the subject is difficult)and it is a must have for the HG sufferer, her family and friends and the doctor. This is truly an amazing book that took a lot of courage to write and share the dreadfulness that HG brings to the suffer as well as the hope and tools to get through this time.

Great Book!

I love this book. I had hg with all of my pregnancies and with the last I couldn't get over all that I went through. That was until I read this book. I wish I had known of it when I was pregnant. It would have done a lot to let me know that I was not alone in how I was feeling and treated. I definitely reccommend it for the pregnant, family members, friends, and even your OB/GYN!

Awesome Book

Very compelling read, really captures the pain and torture of Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Does a wonderful job of explaining many different treatments to try. Definitely a must-read for any Hyperemesis Gravidarum sufferer or survivor.
