There are many things that trigger morning sickness, and many things you can do to help prevent or alleviate nausea and vomiting or morning sickness.
Few women experience severe symptoms of morning sickness (also known as hyperemesis). Most symptoms of morning sickness go away after a few weeks. If symptoms persist for longer than a few weeks, are severe (where you can’t keep anything down for longer than 1 hour), and are debilitating, call your obstetrician or visit an emergency room immediately. You can become quickly dehydrated and may require an IV to replace fluids lost during vomiting.
