I needed no tests. I knew I was pregnant every time, within 10 days of conception, because my religious consumption of several morning coffees suddenly made me want to retch. And my evening glass of cold white wine suddenly made me blanche.

I remember asking my midwife when would I ever feel ok again, as week after week after month went by and the waves of nausea nearly drowned me.
