  "account": "Hyperemesis gravidarum, or H.G., is a severe form of morning sickness that can cause debilitating nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. The condition is often linked to the name of Catherine, known then as Kate Middleton, who experienced it during her pregnancy. H.G. can be dangerous for both the mother and the fetus, with a fetal-loss rate of up to thirty-four percent if left untreated. Despite the prevalence of H.G., it is often not taken seriously and does not appear on lists of health conditions affecting pregnant women. Researchers have struggled to secure funding for H.G. research, with National Institutes of Health maternal-health projects decreasing by nearly forty percent during the second term of President Trump.",
  "summary": "For decades, the condition was thought to be psychological, and women were shamed for their illness. Now a scientist has found a biological cause.",
