Morning sickness is the nausea and vomiting that some women have when they become pregnant. It is caused by the sudden increase in hormones during pregnancy.

Morning sickness is very common early in a pregnancy. It tends to go away later in pregnancy, and it's almost always gone by the second trimester (the fourth month). But there isn't a set time to say it will stop because each woman is different, and each pregnancy is different.

It shouldn't. Morning sickness can become more of a problem if you can't keep any foods or fluids down and begin to lose a lot of weight.

The tips below may help reduce morning sickness.

·      Eat small meals throughout the day so that you're never too full or too hungry.

·      Avoid rich, fatty foods.

·      Avoid foods with smells that bother you.

·      Eat more carbohydrates (plain baked potato, white rice, dry toast).

·      The iron in prenatal vitamins can bother some women. If you think your morning sickness is related to your vitamins, talk with your doctor and he or she may change your vitamins.

·      Wearing "acupressure" wrist bands, which are sometimes used by passengers on boats to prevent sea sickness, may help some women who have morning sickness. You can buy the bands at boating stores or travel agencies.
