5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Women Suffering from HG, January 5, 2007

By	Madeline P. Nugent "author" (Middletown, Rhode Island) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ashli McCall has written a superior book for women suffering from HG. Her sharing of personal stories as well as much valuable information and self-help suggestions on this awful illness will help sufferers and those who love them to bear down and get through these terrible days of illness. There is hope at the end of this tunnel and it wears a diaper! Ashli's book will give women the strength to persist in their pregnancies with hope until birth. HG DOES end!

Thanks, Ashli, for a really wonderful and helpful manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book on HG for suffers and those who love them, March 22, 2007

By	E. Delisle - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Saving Grace, June 26, 2007

By	M. Hicks "Overseas Traveler" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my 3rd bout dealing with HG but the very first time someone stood up and said "this is a real problem". I felt so validated in my feelings by reading this and sharing the info with well-meaning friends and family members. I think this book is truly a life-saver for those dealing with HG. Thanks goes out to the author for her amazing research and heart-wrenching stories she shares.
