Kate, the Royal pregnancy and morning sickness

As millions of women know morning sickness can take any joy away while you are suffering……..counting the weeks up to 13 hoping with everything crossed that it will go as quick as it came on……..my GP said to me while i was heaving over his sink in the corner…….” You know it has been said that a woman suffering from morning sickness is a very good thing as her body is saying ‘I am totally in tune with what’s happening’ and……..there are less miscarriages to women with morning sickness” ……..i wonder whether thats the case :-k

That’s so true Tinks … Morning sickness is a good sign that the placenta is growing well and healthily. It’s something to do with the hormone levels of the growing placenta during the first three months…

Not pleasant ..but it’s something you have to put up with amongst others :lol:

(After all not forgetting the case of thalidomide of years gone by which were a direct result of treating morning sickness with drugs.)

Nowadays as Jen said severe cases of morning sickness are treated with care, in hospital if necessary to make sure fluid intake is adequate etc etc .

It’s great news that the pregnancy has been announced and hopefully all will be well.

:D

In 1963 my mum was offered the Thalidomide drug as she had very bad morning sickness……..at the time there was very little known about the drug and certainly nothing known about the defects it caused………..thankfully she refused the drug otherwise i could be typing something very different in this post

Well, I don’t know the couple and (a lesser point) any congratulations I send would not be noticed by them,

but

Jen did provide some interesting information about morning sickness, confirming me in my gratitude for being in
