NAUSEA AND VOMMITING
One of the most common problems you might be experiencing in pregnancy is nausea and vomiting. There is evidence that about 50% to 90% of women pregnant encounter this disorder. It is often one of the early signs of pregnancy. It usually in the morning and often stops by the end of the first three months however for about 20% of women it may linger on throughout pregnancy. There are many theories about the causes of this uncomfortable problem. It is believed an increase in a hormone known as human chorionic gonathrophin is responsible. The hormone is responsible for maintaining pregnancy during the first few weeks until the placenta is matured enough to take over in providing all the necessary nourishment until the birth of the baby.

* You may try eating dry biscuit or dry toast.
* Make an effort to take in fluids to replace what you may be loosing through vomiting , this can be possible by taking sips at frequent intervals.
