Review
"This detailed guide to morning sickness focuses on controlling symptoms through diet . . . Sample recipes, menus, and a 'survival kit' are provided. For all popular medicine and consumer health collections." --"Library Journal"
Product Description
More than half of all pregnant women experience some degree of morning sickness. This book offers women who suffer from this debilitating ailment proven remedies that really work, including diet strategies with step-by-step instructions on approaching food and nutrition. Women reading this book will see that there are many realities to morning sickness, that they are not alone, and that they can deal with it successfully. The book covers all of the triggers and possible causes not just 'what foods make you sick'; discusses the important role smells and odours often play in morning sickness; helps you consider a broader array of triggers and shows how to avoid them; presents all the latest research on causes, treatments, and remedies; offers the latest information on drugs and other treatments commonly used; discusses the use/effectiveness of acupuncture, holistic, herbal, and homeopathic treatments; offers information about how other cultures address morning sickness; and, provides important historical perspective on the treatment of morning sickness. The book gives the tools you need to satisfy cravings, suppress nausea, and maintain good health in a realistic, doable way. In going beyond the 'crackers and jelly' advice most commonly touted, it provides readers with new approaches and real recipes. It features a diet strategy with step-by-step instructions on approaching food and nutrition - the same approach used successfully by the author with countless pregnant patients in a major medical centre.

Amazing Resource For Surviving Hyperemesis
3 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
Miriam Erick is a hero in our household. I have gotten through two pregnancies with severe Hyperemesis. My first pregnancy, I purchased Miriam Erick's first book, "No More Morning Sickness," while I was unable to keep any food down and had IV fluids being administered to me at my home. I was on the IV for one month and had visiting nurses come to check on me a few times per week. I felt incredibly isolated with the disease of Hyperemesis and I didn't know where to turn for support. Miriam's 1st book helped me get through each day.
A few years later, my husband and I decided to plan for another pregnancy. We met with many specialists and even traveled to Boston to meet with Miriam Erick personally. I was then informed of this book, Managing Morning Sickness. I purchased it immediately and read it cover to cover before even conceiving our second child. It was a life saver filled with nutrition information, recipes and meal plans for different cravings (e.g. salty, crunchy, etc.), descriptions of complications from hyperemesis, medications being used and even alternative therapies. This book also talks about triggers for morning sickness, which helped me to try to avoid certain scents & situations. Per Miriam's advice, lemons are a great for trying to prevent nausea. Lemons are not only great for drinking as lemonade, but for sniffing as well. I would carry a fresh lemon wedge around with me whenever I had to go to doctor appointments or any other place with a lot of people. If I started to get nauseous from a particular smell or fragrance, I would sniff my lemon wedge and the nausea would get a little better.
I can't say enough about how Miriam's books helped me get through my pregnancies. Hyperemesis is a life threatening disease if not treated properly and Miriam's knowledge allowed me to ask my medical team the right questions in order to get the treatment that I needed. Thank you Miriam for your wonderful books filled with fabulous knowledge and resources!!!

not helpful for HG
9 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I didn't personally find this book at all helpful with hyperemesis. I had HG with my first pregnancy and bought this book in preparation for a second go around. I can't imagine anything more useless than recipes and lists of foods to satisfy cravings when it's impossible to keep down even a sip of water. I was really hoping for food advice along the lines of "here is the bare minumum you have to eat and what supplements you have to take to keep from dying of malnutrition", but no luck. Furthermore, her section devoted to HG is just a list of the horrible things which can happen to you due to HG: abortion, acute kidney failure, death, esophageal rupture, etc. Thanks! I feel cheered up already.
This is probably a great book for women with MORNING SICKNESS. Hyperemesis is not morning sickness, and the advice for one is not applicable to the other.

Puzzled
11 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
I had hyperemesis for my first pregnancy and bought this in preparation for my second pregnancy. I simply do not see how this could help at all with hyperemesis. It definitely wasn't any help to me. It is mainly a book that says, "eat what sounds good," and while that might help with morning sickness, I cannot see it possibly helping when any solid food causes uncontrollable vomiting. I was not able to get any use out of it. I might recommend it to a mother dealing with run-of-the-mill morning sickness, but I would not bother with it for a real case of HG - I would direct the mother to Ashli McCall's book "Beyond Morning Sickness."
