Pregnancy nausea and vomiting, also known as morning sickness , are very common. In most people, symptoms subside a few months into the pregnancy, but some people have nausea throughout.
Experiencing nausea during pregnancy is normal. And while it can make you uncomfortable, it’s not usually a cause for concern. However, it’s possible to experience severe nausea and vomiting, which can cause complications.
The nausea and vomiting that come with morning sickness usually begin early in a pregnancy, at around six weeks. Most people get relief from symptoms about three months into their pregnancy. However, some people have nausea that lasts the entire time. 1
Nausea and vomiting don't always accompany each other. Some people with morning sickness only experience nausea, while others may only vomit. 2
Experts don’t really know what causes morning sickness. It may have something to do with hormones.
Some things that can exacerbate morning sickness include: 1
According to an article in the journal American Family Physician , the following pregnant people are at greater risk for morning sickness: 2
While morning sickness affects many pregnant people, it doesn’t mean you have to wince through vomiting and nausea. There are ways to relieve symptoms. Strategies to limit morning sickness include: 1
Note that not all antiemetics are safe to use during pregnancy. Read labels carefully. This goes for supplements as well. Don’t take a supplement or OTC medication without first consulting a doctor or pharmacist. 3
Some sources suggest alternative medical therapies such as acupressure and acupuncture to relieve morning sickness. However, evidence suggests that these therapies are not effective for treating nausea and vomiting due to pregnancy. 2
Mild morning sickness is not unsafe for you or your baby. Even moderate nausea and vomiting shouldn’t cause complications. Regardless of the severity of your morning sickness, you should see a healthcare professional to discuss available treatment options.
Some people may develop severe morning sickness that involves frequent vomiting, dehydration, and weight loss. This condition is called hyperemesis gravidarum. It occurs in about 1% of pregnant people. 2
If you can’t keep food down or you’re vomiting so much that you’re becoming dehydrated , you’ll likely need to be hospitalized. Severe dehydration and malnutrition are serious complications that require a hospital stay.
Losing weight early on in pregnancy because of severe morning sickness is linked to low birth weight. 2
People at higher risk for severe pregnancy nausea include:
Sometimes, severe nausea and vomiting are a sign of something else entirely. If you’re not feeling well, talk to a healthcare professional to be safe.
What else could it be? Here are other potential causes for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy:
There are many causes of nausea and vomiting. This list is not exhaustive.
If you have symptoms other than nausea and vomiting, this may mean that you are experiencing something other than morning sickness.
You don’t have to push through nausea. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it should be a regular part of pregnancy. You don’t have to wait until symptoms are severe to see a doctor.
If you’re experiencing nausea and vomiting, talk to your healthcare professional to determine treatment options. It’s also possible that nausea and vomiting are a symptom of something else. Talking to them can rule out other potential illnesses.
It’s OK to seek medical care if you’re struggling with nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Don’t let anyone else dismiss your symptoms and dictate how you feel.

Nausea during pregnancy A good thing
Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
Nausea during early pregnancy, also called morning sickness, might be a good sign. Studies have shown that women with nausea and vomiting during the first trimester have a lower risk of miscarriage than do women without these symptoms.
What's the connection? Nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy might indicate you are experiencing the climb in hormones needed for a healthy pregnancy.
Research suggests that nausea and vomiting during pregnancy might be due to the effects of a hormone produced by the placenta called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). Pregnant women begin producing HCG shortly after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. Women with severe morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum) have higher HCG levels than other pregnant women do. Women pregnant with twins or multiples also have higher HCG levels and are more likely to experience morning sickness. Similarly, estrogen, another hormone that increases during pregnancy, is associated with an increase in the severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
However, high pregnancy hormone levels aren't consistently associated with nausea and vomiting.
It's also possible that nausea and vomiting during pregnancy are signs of viable placental tissue.
Keep in mind, however, that a lack of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy isn't cause for concern. Some women with healthy pregnancies never experience morning sickness.

Welcome. Nausea and vomiting can make life miserable. When they occur during pregnancy, they can feel like they steal the magic and fun out of being pregnant. It probably won't make you feel any better, but you have lots of company — most women experience some nausea during pregnancy. Although this is sometimes called morning sickness, it can actually occur at any time during the day.

Repeated episodes of vomiting can deplete you of fluids and electrolytes, no matter what the cause.
