How long does morning sickness last?
The peak morning sickness weeks are during your first trimester. Usually, morning sickness will start between the fourth and sixth week of pregnancy and, unfortunately, will continue for most of your first trimester. While some women are lucky enough to have their morning sickness subside as early as the 12th week, generally, morning sickness stops between the 14th and 16th week of pregnancy. For a few women, though, their morning sickness peak will not occur around the beginning of the second trimester. Severe morning sickness, officially known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), is rare but does happen. If you have extreme morning sickness, you may need to be hospitalized. HG can lead to dehydration, weight loss and vitamin deficiency. However, research has not found severe morning sickness to cause any harm to a baby. Regardless, if you are vomiting frequently and/or you notice you are losing weight, speak with your health care provider about what you should do. You may also want to try
