Twenty pregnant women admitted to the hospital for vomiting in pregnancy were studied by clinical interviews and Rorschach tests. It was found that each of these patients had previously experienced gastrointestinal disturbances in response to emotional stress. Each of the patients was 'immature', was entirely frigid in her sexual life, and had become very anxious during her pregnancy.
