What is that? It´s what I used to have on the way to work from NJ to the Airport at Philly. I had to stop on the side of the road to throw up for weeks. My wife didn´t get sick at all. Bummer....

She is so slender it must be much more serious in a woman without an ounce to spare.

It´s very much like the Obama´s headaches, NO ONE CARES!

This happened to a dear friend of mine. Her first pregnancy was bad enough, but she managed to carry on, worked through most of eight months.

But the second baby, six years later... wow. She was bed-ridden, hooked up to an i.v.; basically could not eat, and so had intervenous nutrition. She and the darling baby made it through beautifully, thanks be to God.

Poor Kate. I had this. There are no words to describe the misery. Three pregnancies, three hospitalizations. Pregnancy did not make me glow. =). I am so sympathetic.

This is nothing like normal "morning" sickness (which can actually occur any time of the day.) A very close friend of mine had this with all three of her pregnancies, until about the end of her second trimester each time. She had to be hospitalized several times, and lost weight as well. It was rough. She says it was worth it, as she now has three beautiful children.

I wish them all a safe and healthy pregnancy

Headlines such as this make us look like idiots. Usually articles inform and explain medical terms instead of mocking them.

She heard Prince UpChuck, sir surely inbred, complaining about how his time is almost up, and he hasn´t been able to play king.

I had this while pregnant with all three of my children. My youngest is three months old and the memory of it is still fresh. I was sick until the day each child was delivered. This is not run of the mill morning sickness where a woman drinks some ginger ale and eats some saltines for relief. It is completely debilitating. I wish the Duchess well and hope and pray that one of the many treatments out there works for her.

I was lucky not to have any vomiting with my pregnancies, but I had quite a few green days. My sister-in-law was sick like this for several months with all 3 of her pregnancies. It will pass, but I sure wouldn´t wish it on anyone. (except Barry and Mooch maybe!)

Uncontrolled vomiting can cause severe dehydration and requires hospitalization.

I haad bad Morning sicknes with all three of mine but it stopped around the three month mark.

My youngest, who gave birth 4 months ago had this extreme form. She was so bad and lost so much weight that she was monitored very closely. The baby managed to get enough good nutrition that she was born a very healthy eight pounds. My daughter got the bonus in the end by only having a 3 pound gain overall at term and a 17 pound loss after the baby was born.

Since she was about 20lbs overweight at the time of conception she looks great now!

Good Luck to Kate...I hope they leave her alone and she can try to enjoy her pregnancy.

Poor thing. It´s miserable. I had it 4X (I should have learned!) With my 3rd, my OB said that he was gaining more weight than I was. And that one was born at 9lbs!

I had to be hospitalized 3 times and on IV´s. Weighed 103 lbs after delivery and was 116 before I got pregnant. Thank God Doctors know better now. The OB/GYN said you wouldn´t be this sick if you wanted this baby.... I told him I wouldn´t be preggers if I didn´t. I found another Doctor real fast.

See, pregnancy ~is~ a disease. /s

You women are troopers. I can´t stand even relatively brief periods of nausea. If I knew I was looking at months of it I think I´d have to have myself euthanized.

If men had to carry babies and give birth, life as we know it would come to a screeching halt!!!

My daughter in law had this. It was terrible and lasted the entire pregnancy. She was hospitalized several times,once because her potassium levels were dangerously low and her life was in danger. I feel for Princess Kate. Hopefully it doesn´t last the entire pregnancy. I remember reading that Maria Shriver had this too with her last pregnancy and spent over a month in the hospital. It´s no laughing matter. Wishing the best for Princess Kate and the wee one.

I wish the Duchess well. I was fortunate enough not to have much of a rough time with any of my three pregnancies. I had the most nausea with my first, and I lost weight in my second pregnancy because of a respiratory infection I had in the third trimester (he´s a healthy young man now). When I was pregnant with my daughter, who was born with health problems, I experienced nothing beyond mild queasiness and for most of the pregnancy, I had an easy time.

I had heard an old wives´ tale that said the more severe the morning sickness, the healthier the baby. I don´t know if it´s true, but if it is, it bodes well for the heir(ess?) to the throne.

My sister in law had this with both pregnancies and was hospitalized several times. She was the sickest person I´ve ever seen who lived.
