A
phenomenon associated with being
pregnant in which the mother of the unborn baby may experience episodes of
nausea,
heartburn,
dizziness or
vomiting. Contrary to its description, this affliction can happen at any time of day or night.
It is widely attributed to the fluctuation of
hormones during early
gestation, but is not always limited to the first
trimester. Additional possible causes can be
hunger, stress, dehydration or certain sights and smells.
It is interesting to note that sometimes people in frequent close contact with the pregnant
mother may exhibit symptoms of
sympathetic morning sickness.
