NBC Nightly News raises awareness of dangerous pregnancy ailment

My blog pal Ashli Foshee McCall has written an excellent book on HG called Beyond Morning Sickness, which she is sending free fo charge to any ob/gyn who requests it. She herself suffered HG through four pregnancies and now works to help others with the disease.
