A client at 21 weeks gestation recently diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum asks the nurse, Why is this happening to me? I don't know whether I can go on like this.
a) It's a normal part of pregnancy; try not to worry too much.
b) It may be due to hormonal changes; we can discuss coping strategies.
c) You should consult a psychiatrist for further evaluation.
d) There's nothing you can do; just endure it until delivery.
