Dr. Jennifer Ashton, OBGYN and contributor to ABC News told media outlets, “Although every pregnancy is different, having hyperemesis gravidarum during one pregnancy may make a woman more likely to have it in subsequent pregnancies.”
And the future times being pregnant with severe morning sickness could be worse in following pregnancies. “Sometimes subsequent pregnancies have it starting sooner, lasting longer and being more severe,” Dr. Ashton explained.

Royal Pregnant Tips Every Woman Needs To Know
If you are pregnant, you may be wondering how the royals handle pregnancy. Kate Middleton is certainly popular, but will experience the same problems all women do during pregnancy.
1. Write Out a Royal Birth Plan
A birth plan is certainly something Kate Middleton and other pregnant women have done. Your birth plan should outline your wishes and who should be present for the magical moment.
A few pregnant essentials to consider include:
- Clothing you want to wear before and after. Royal fashion?
- Medical procedures you don’t want (epidural).
- Who do you want in the delivery room?
- Music? Photos?
- What is the plan if there are complications?
2. Stop Doing Household Chores When Pregnant
Well, maybe not all of them. Staying active during pregnancy is recommended by most doctors, according to the American Pregnancy Association. It simply depends on how you and your baby are doing while pregnant.
The following are household chores you should stop doing:
- No more heavy lifting.
- No more step stools or climbing ladders.
- Do not change your kitty litter box (avoid toxoplasmosis).
- Don’t use harsh cleaning chemicals.
- No more long periods of standing over a hot stove.
3.Maintain a Royal Weight While Pregnant
Kate Middleton always appeared in the height of fashion while pregnant with her first two children. And looking good serves two purposes. Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your risk for gestational diabetes, depression, and postpartum depression.

- 70 to 80 percent of women with gestational diabetes will develop type II diabetes.
- Women 35 and older are at extreme risk.
