Morning sickness
Morning sickness can occur at any time of day, although it's usually worse when you first wake up. It might help to keep a snack by your bed.
How long does morning sickness last?
Morning sickness begins early in pregnancy, usually between the 4th and 7th week.
It usually settles by 16 to 20 weeks, although for some it may last longer.
It's thought hormonal changes in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy are probably one of the causes of morning sickness.
There is no evidence that nausea and vomiting has a harmful effect on your baby.
