The only thing I didn't like about her article is that she confuses normal pregnancy queasiness and vomiting with hyperemesis gravidarum. The former is unpleasant; the latter, while very rare, can be life-threatening and usually requires some hospitalization.

I think she had someone drop this on her, went home and researched and found that out. But it doesn't make things any better until you've researched the odds for yourself...
