Hyperemesis: A spiritual Perspective

My esteemed daughter, Mrs Ruthie Halberstardt, has written this excellent account of her own experience with HG and complications of pregnancy, as well as that of many others whom she has helped along the way. Reading it will give you some of the tools you need to get through a difficult pregnancy — and perhaps even find that you have become a greater person as a result. Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz, MD What this amazing book does is explain... how keeping the mother healthy, mentally physically and spiritually, in turn benefits her baby. The book is beautifully written and compelling reading. Ruthie's understanding of the condition from both a medical and personal perspective is truly impressive. Through her her lived experience and intelligent analysis of 'the good the bad and the ugly' aspects of this distressing condition, she is able to bring a form of peaceful spiritual acceptance, which I am confident will help other sufferers cope and give their friends and families important insight into the condition.

Long overdue and certain to help many couples. L Joel Kessler MD, OBGYN Santa Monica, California
