When a 33-year-old Ohio woman falls in love with a handsome young doctor, she believes she's found fairytale romance. She becomes pregnant and the two are engaged.

She is alarmed by the severe morning sickness, cramps and nausea she experiences, particularly in light of her age and medical history, but her doctor assures her there's no cause for concern.

Eventually, suspecting her symptoms aren't as tied to the baby as they are to her fiancé, she decides to conduct her own scientific investigation.
