My two children were very much wanted but I couldn’t have had a third, even though I would have liked one. Why? Because both my pregnancies were horrendous thanks to hyperemesis. Being sick is horrendous, and feeling sick and suffering stomach pains all the time is gruelling. Some people have hyperemesis for only a few weeks at the beginning of their pregnancies; others, like me, have it all the way through. No one is quite sure why.
I didn’t care that much about “why” when I was pregnant. What I cared about was how to get rid of this sickness and how to “bloom” like all the books told me I would. I didn’t get rid of it until after the children were born. Nothing
