Morning Sickness<\/span><\/h1>\n

Morning sickness is often one of the first signs of pregnancy. It is a common complaint about many new parents, but it often passes by three months into the pregnancy. Some may experience severe morning sickness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Normal, physiological morning sickness can last all day for some people. Morning sickness occurs in over <\/span>50 percent<\/span><\/a> of all pregnancies. It usually starts around week six of pregnancy and disappears around week twelve. However, this is a guide, not a rule and each birthing person can have a different experience. In fact, nausea does not happen only in the morning. Most women find that it eases as the day goes on, but for some women, it may continue all day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
