According to the American Medical Association,
nearly fifty percent of women suffer from nausea and vomiting during the first three
months of pregnancy. It tends to be more severe early in the morning, but
it can occur anytime during the day or night. Morning sickness usually occurs in the first

presence of certain hormones and by changes in the way the body metabolizes carbohydrates.
Most women experience only intermittent nausea and vomiting. more.. |
