Morning Sickness Tips

Morning sickness with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and tiredness are common symptoms during early pregnancy. Around half of all women experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, and another three in ten women will experience nausea without vomiting.

Although morning sickness normally stops between weeks 12 and 14 of pregnancy abnormal vomiting, severe continual nausea and vomiting after the twelfth week occur in approximately one in 200 pregnancies can often result in dehydration and weight loss.

There are many contributing factors which can contribute to nausea during pregnancy. Some are physical such as low blood sugar, low blood pressure, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiency especially in vitamin B6, zinc, and iron or excess of certain foods like spicy, sugary and refined foods.
