Symptoms of Morning sickness
Most symptoms start roughly 6 weeks after your last period and stop by the 14th week of pregnancy. A few women find that it continues beyond that time and occasionally it lasts for the whole pregnancy.
Morning sickness has a range of symptoms that can be mild or severe. They may include the following:
- nausea,
- vomiting,
- tiredness,
- headaches,
- light-headedness, and
- weight loss.
In few cases there may be severe dehydration, and serious weight loss (hyperemesis gravidarum). Nausea may come and go, and can occur at any time during the day. Morning sickness appears to be more common in women carrying twins or triplets.
