Hyperemesis gravidarum: Kate Middleton's morning sickness explained

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their second baby, it was announced today. The Duchess did not have the easiest pregnancy to begin with, last time around. Palace officials chose to reveal the news that Kate was expecting when she was just a few weeks pregnant after she was admitted to hospital suffering from severe morning sickness in December 2012. Doctors diagnosed the Duchess with hyperemesis gravidarum – a rare condition which causes severe vomiting during pregnancy and can cause dehydration, weight loss and a build-up of toxins in the blood or urine called ketosis. Kate spent three nights in King Edward VII's Hospital in central London before being discharged. Midwife Zita West said that if a woman experiences hyperemesis gravidarum in her first pregnancy, it is highly likely that she will have it again and it is generally worse in subsequent pregnancies. Hyperemesis gravidarum, which affects 3.5 per 1,000 pregnancies, causes severe vomiting and can lead to dehydration, weight loss and a build-up of toxins in the blood or urine, called ketosis. It is understood that Kate's pregnancy has not passed the 12-week stage – a similar position to when she was struck by the illness when in the early stages of her first pregnancy. It starts earlier and is usually more severe Get the latest headlines http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ Subscribe to The Telegraph http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
