Approximately 3/4 of pregnant women in the first three months of pregnancy experience nausea and often, vomiting. Nausea usually starts from about the sixth week of pregnancy, but possibly as early as the fourth week. After the first month, the symptoms will be more severe. From the 14th week onward, about half of all pregnant women will no longer feel sick. Most of them usually require about a month to allow the nausea to slowly subside. However, the morning sickness can still arise occasionally throughout the entire pregnancy period.
The mild to moderate nausea and occasional vomiting generally does not affect the baby’s health. As long as there is no dehydration or improper meals, there shouldn’t be a problem. Even if you do not gain additional weight during the first 3 months, do not panic. In most cases, you should be able to quickly restore appetite, and began to gain weight after that. If nausea is causing you to not have a balance diet, you might want to consider taking vitamins to ensure that the body receives the nutrition that it needs. Long-term and severe vomiting can increase the chances of premature birth and low birth-weight children. However, a recent study found that as long as there is an increase in body weight during pregnancy, vomiting would not have adverse consequences for mothers or their child.
