What is the history of Hyperemesis Gravidarum?
When was Hyperemesis Gravidarum discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
It goes way back to 2,000 BC but was named in 1852 by Antoine Dubois.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is from the Greek hyper-, meaning excessive, and emesis, meaning vomiting, and the Latin gravidarum, the feminine genitive plural form of an adjective, here used as a noun, meaning "pregnant [woman]". Therefore, hyperemesis gravidarum means "excessive vomiting of pregnant women".
