yay for the mention, but boo to her saying "maybe it was because i was afraid"

here we have a great chance to actually spread the word and educate, but instead we get the "it's all in her head" reinforcement. i know she goes on to say that doctors don't know what causes it, but i'm still disappointed. whether it was the journalist that portrayed it like this, or she did, i'm still disappointed.

my thoughts exactly.

The DM also had these two recent-ish articles on HG.

in the second article i have one problem - "...which can last up to 22 weeks..."

seriously?! do some better research people!

BTW, I love your tagline about not 'getting' HG. I'm struggling with that at the moment. One of my best friends just emailed to say sorry i'm feeling so low, and she remembers what it was like (she didn't have hg) and that I should feel better by the 3rd trimester, and would it help if I went out swimming or had a manicure or we all met up for lunch? I mean... really?!!! She's one of my oldest friends, and i've been emailing my friends saying how horrendous it is but they still don't get it!
