Kate Middleton left the hospital on Thursday after being admitted for hyperemesis gravidarum, which is basically a severe form of morning sickness. She spent three days in the private, King Edward VII Hospital in London. The couple revealed the joyous news of Middleton's pregnancy on Monday.
Middleton emerged from the hospital smiling, holding a bouquet of yellow roses while she was escorted by her husband Prince William.
MSN entertainment's website, Wonderwall said that she told reporters that she was feeling "much better." She will now recover at Kensington Palace. A spokesperson for St James Palace said, The Duchess of Cambridge has been discharged from the King Edward VII Hospital and will now head to Kensington Palace for a period of rest. Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank the staff at the hospital for the care and treatment the duchess has received."
But is The Duchess out of the woods when it comes to hypermesis gravidarum? Dr. Manny Alvarez wrote an article in Fox News about the subject. His answer? Probably not.
He said, "It's very possible Princess Kate could be readmitted to the hospital again for dehydration. She's barely in her first trimester, and women who are admitted to the hospital for hyperemesis gravidarum tend to have recurrence and sometimes need to return in order to be rehydrated all over again."
His tips for the Princess include eliminating triggers that could bring on nausea such as eliminating certain odors from the house and kitchen and eating lots of carbohydrates. He also says that certain fruits such as kiwis and frozen seedless grapes make great snacks and help with hypersalivation. He added that watermelon and canteloupe are good for nausea.
He added, "And of course, I'm sure your doctors have considered giving you medication. Here in the United States, a popular medication Zofran - ondansetron hydrochloride tablets, which block the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor type - helps some patients with severe nausea."
