You may also appear healthy on the chart because your body has slowed down to a starvation mode to accommodate the frequent vomiting. The only drug marketed for the relief of morning sickness ceased production in 1983 after a spate of lawsuits. Although a link between the drug and birth defects was never scientifically established, liability issues have intimidated other drug manufacturers from offering remedies for morning sickness. Women with NVP frequently complain that medical professionals treat vomiting, but ignore nausea as inconsequential. After all, if the patient was a man suffering from nausea due to an ulcer, it would be taken seriously.
Many women have a difficult time letting others help.
But we have all known the warm feeling that comes from helping another in need. If you have NVP, now it is your turn to be on the receiving end of charity. Above all, remember that in a few months the nausea will be over and you will have your baby.
