Each woman and pregnancy can be quite different, and the symptoms can vary. Morning sickness usually begins around the sixth week mark, and it typically lasts through the end of the first trimester. However, in some cases, symptoms can last through the 20th week or even through the entire pregnancy.
These symptoms include nausea, retching and/or vomiting. Some women only have nausea in the morning, and others have nausea all day and night. Morning sickness typically begins between 4 to 9 weeks of pregnancy and is usually the most severe between 7 to 12 weeks.For most women, morning sickness usually eases between 12 to 16 weeks.omen with severe nausea with or without vomiting or HG (see page 2) in a previous pregnancy have a 75 to 85% chance of having severe morning sickness in a future pregnancy. So having the experience does not seem to make the bouts of nausea, vomiting and/or dry heaves any better.
