[edit] Medical marijuana

Perhaps there should be some mention of cannabis therapy for HG. there seems to be at least anecdotal evidence of its use, e.g. [1]. Of course it is bound to be even more controversial than other uses of medical marijuana. NTK 01:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PICC line

I suspect that the PICC line statement is actually about parenteral feeding instead of rehydration.

The authors at PMID 16006438 cite a study which suggests that about 10% of HG patients experience at least some symptoms throughout the entire pregnancy. Whether or not this requires parenteral interventions is not obvious to me. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
