Certifi ed: American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, 1991 Re-Certifi ed, 2010 Sub-specialty: Total Joint Replacement Morning sickness is a condition many pregnant women must face. It is generally one of the fi rst symptoms of pregnancy and can begin as early as six weeks after conception, lasting until the end of the fi rst trimester. Despite its name, morning sickness is not reserved for early in the day but can occur in the morning, afternoon and/or evening. The American Pregnancy Association says more than half of all pregnant women experience the nausea and vomiting associated with morning sickness. Nausea is associated with the increasing levels of hormones in the body. Many doctors are happy when women report morning sickness because it is an indication that the placenta in the womb is developing well. Eating smaller meals and nibbling on bland crackers before rising from bed can alleviate some symptoms of morning sickness. Try to remain hydrated, especially if you are plagued with bouts of vomiting. Sipping water or even fl at ginger ale throughout the day may settle the stomach. If morning sickness becomes severe and results in considerable weight loss, consult your doctor. Did you know?
