Morning sickness is nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It is a common problem, especially during the first 3 months.

The cause is not fully known but it is caused by changes in hormones during pregnancy. Morning sickness is normal, and there is no risk to a baby unless it is very severe.

It is also important both you and your partner understand that during pregnancy you may not enjoy certain stimuli (visual, tastes, smells, touch and sexual experiences) that you used to. These changes may place a strain on your relationship.
