Body Mutiny

Many women suffer from morning sickness, but can you imagine nine months of constant vomiting with no food or drink whatsoever, except by an IV line? This rare and severe condition is known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum. In a powerful mix of poetry and prose, author Jenna Schmitt takes you through 40 harrowing weeks of her own Hyperemesis pregnancy. Readers who have experienced or may experience a high-risk, difficult pregnancy will be happy to discover that, finally, someone understands how they feel.
