Written by a registered dietician, this detailed guide to morning sickness focuses on controlling symptoms through diet. The role of nutrition and food choices in reducing illness is explored, and sample recipes, menus, and a "survival kit" are provided. Using case studies, the text also examines mothers' feelings and partners' reactions to the symptoms of morning sickness. Often dismissed as a trivial or transient complaint, morning sickness becomes severe enough in one in 72 pregnant women to require hospitalization. An occasionally awkward writing style does not diminish the importance of this handbook in synthesizing current knowledge about this disorder and providing practical advice to reduce or eliminate its impact. For all popular medicine and consumer health collections.
