Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy affects as many as 50% of all women in the early weeks of their pregnancy. Commonly known as morning sickness it generally starts at around six weeks after your last period and continues for around five to six weeks. Whilst some women experience nausea and vomiting for longer the symptoms often disappear completely by the third month of pregnancy.
The effects can vary from a mild feeling of nausea without actually being sick to the extreme 'hyperemesis gravidarum' - severe sickness which can result in dehydration, weight loss and in some cases will require specialist treatment and hospitalisation.
'Morning sickness' is a bit of a misnomer for many women as the symptoms can come on at different times of the day or night or can even be present constantly.
It can be a trying problem, especially during the early stages of pregnancy when people around you may not even know you're pregnant.what to eat when pregnantnbspwhat should eat when pregnantnbsppregnancy dietnbspeating for pregnancynbsppregnancy nutritionnbspfood for pregnancy
