Morning Sickness

Who ever came up with the term Morning sickness should have asked more pregnant women when they were sick.

Most women tend to be sick in the afternoon or are sick all day!

Morning sickness is normally associated with nausea and vomiting in the morning. The definition of Morning sickness says that despite its name the nausea can affect women at any time of day.

So why the name?

No one seems to know. But any sickness while pregnant will forever be known as Morning sickness no matter the time of day. It has been named and will probably never change.

Morning sickness can be summed up in one word -Miserable.

The last few months have been a blur. With the constant feeling of having to puke and not knowing when you will makes ones day just completely miserable. And to think that if you are sick it is a good thing and normally means everything is going fine.

What a twisted world we live in where puking your guts out means everything is perfectly fine.

Morning sickness is understood as an evolved trait that protects the fetus against toxins ingested by the mother.

Wikipedia also says that women who have no pregnancy nausea are more likely to miscarry or bear children with birth defects than those that don’t have nausea.

So to all of you women who are also suffering from “morning sickness” it is a good thing and somehow completely “normal” so hang in there and hopefully it will all be over soon!
