The Chronicles of Nausea: A Diary of Hyperemesis Gravidarum is the non-fiction pregnancy journal of a woman who battled severe hyperemesis gravidarum. She endured more than a month of hospitalization, being tube-fed, and being on strict bed rest for 30 weeks. In spite of having gone through tremendous suffering, the pregnancy culminated in the birth of a healthy baby girl. Although the subject matter is serious and the tone is often sobering, there are moments of humor and untamed joy. In all, the journal serves to encourage other sufferers of hyperemesis gravidarum that they might enjoy a similar outcome.
