Summary: Truly Helpful
Review: I have been pregnant 3 times and have been sick every time. Some pregnancies were worse than others. During my last pregnancy I threw up every day, several times a day, until my 20th week. I have a sister who stays sick until delivery. "Morning Sickness" lasts all day for me and feels more like sea sickness and the flu combined. I have read many books available on the subject and have tried many things. It is no laughing matter and can be made worse by the feeling that you are all alone and no one understands your misery.
Elizabeth Kaledin is a woman who knows what she is talking about. She has experienced the wretchedness of morning sickness in her 2 pregnancies. This book covers all the bases, in my opinion, with ideas for relief that cover a wide range. But even more valuable are the "testimonials" from other woman who have experienced sickness. These women candidly share their experiences (most of which I could relate to) as well as what worked or didn't work for them. Some stories were actually amusing, and I enjoyed Ms. Kaledin's candor and warmth. This book will help you realize you are not alone in dealing with this sometimes debilitating ailment and offers compassion and ideas for relief.

Summary: I'm a survivor:-)
Review: What a great book!!! I experienced hypermesis during my first pregnancy, and it was truly horible. I couldn't get out of bed for two months. My husband and I are currently planning our second child,( It is worth going through a second time.:-)and admittedly I'm terrified of spending another two months in bed, eating nothing but apples, and ice chips. This book gave me strength. Just knowing others were feeling, and surviving the same thing. The personal experiences, had me laughing till I cried. And the tips, and medical research information were truly enlightening. I heartily recommend this book for anyone surviving, or a survivor of "all day sickness".

Summary: I'd check it out from the library
Review: When I was suffering from morning sickness with my first pregnancy, I think I bought every book out there, looking for relief. This book wasn't horrible, but it wasn't that helpful either. In fact, I bought it because of the previous reviews and now I can't believe it got 5 stars. If you just want to know someone else has been through it, or some perspective, then this book will be helpful. If you want something to make your morning sickness go away, or even lessen, then good luck. Try spending the money on motion sickness wristbands instead.
