All in the Family

After communicating with my mother's two sisters, I have discovered that this pregnancy misery apparently runs in the family. One aunt lost over 20 pounds with her first pregnancy, and apparently my mother was so ill with me that they thought they were going to have to take her to the hospital. (As TheLimey worried about during that recent really sick week of mine.)

How come I've never heard anything about this before? Geez, you'd think no one in my family talked with each other. --Oh yeah, they don't!
