SOLVED. Historical romance, She marries a duke or other title, gets pregnant, hides her morning sickness gets so bad that he finds her by the chamber pot retching and cares for her. Not “The Reasons for Marriage” by Stephanie Laurens but very similar.

She marries a duke/earl/other title, in an arranged/loveless marriage (at first). He takes her to his country home, and she gets along with his staff. Possibly something about her organizing his library. She gets pregnant, but hides it from him. He takes her back to London, and she continues to hide the pregnancy from him (she's miserable in the carriage ride to town) -- I think because she's trying to be the perfect ton wife. Her morning sickness gets so bad that she avoids callers; and then she's still so tired in the afternoon, that she cleverly avoids social calls and stays home to be well enough to go out for evening events (tells Lady A that she'll be at Lady B's musical, tells Lady B she'll be elsewhere, etc.). Her husband finds her at home really sick over a chamber pot and takes care of her. The husband was maybe a solider because he makes a comment of being scare that something is wrong with wife and says he has seen soldiers with the same look before their demise. There is a elderly nanny in the whole picture he tells her that the sicker she is than healthier the babe. Later, they both profess their love, he takes her back to the country, and everything ends well.

Idalia, that's a good start. Please copy more plot details (from your first post) to the topic header (title), so someone could recognize your book from that description alone. Many members only read the headers.

We have thousands of romance requests. We close threads with vague headers.

Click the small "edit" link after the topic header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, there's a "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

- Around what year did you read this book? A range of years is fine.

Maybe The Reasons For Marriage? The reviews mention her morning sickness and her interest in cataloguing his library

One of the 'Sherbrooke' series by Catherine Coulter? I remember in one of them the woman gets so sick that they have chamber-pots in every room for her.

Idalia, I notice your request is in a Solved folder. What's the title and author of your book?

Could be Georgette Heyer's Convenient Marriage. She's the daughter of a wealthy cit who tries to keep her in London with a fancy doctor for the pregnancy but she'd much rather be at the country estate. Her husband's a soldier returning from the Napoleonic wars because his father dies, leaving gambling debts and an ancient family home he can't to keep so agrees to marry her to save his family from penury.
