Mama Has Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Paperback
(BookSurge Publishing April 3, 2009)
The debilitating effects of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) can be bewildering for adults, so it's no surprise that children's lives are greatly affected...but only for a while. Mama Has Hyperemesis Gravidarum (But Only For a While) helps to prepare children by gently depicting some of the negative realities of living with a pregnant mom who is suffering from HG. The book also helps to validate an emotional experience that, while normal, can sometimes be confusing and unpleasant. Finally, children are comforted and encouraged by the recurring message that HG will end, and they are warmly reminded of pregnancy's sweet reward.
