In the first trimester of pregnancy, a majority of women will experience so-called morning sickness.
Unlike what its name suggests, morning sickness is not a condition where a pregnant woman just casually vomits in the morning and goes on with her day feeling fine. Even in its mildest of forms, it can be an all-consuming nausea, where the sight and smells of very specific foods result in gagging and vomiting. It’s like having the flu, or a really bad hangover, that lasts weeks or months. Sometimes, it can last the entire pregnancy.
