There are several specific symptoms that are strongly associated with pregnancy. Some of these symptoms occur at specific times, while others occur throughout the nine months or forty weeks of pregnancy. Morning sickness is the nausea and vomiting that usually occurs in early pregnancy or the first trimester. Despite its name, morning sickness can actually happen at any time of day.
Some pregnant women suffer a great deal from morning sickness, while others feel no sickness at all.
These are all perfectly normal symptoms of early pregnancy and are related to changes in hormone levels caused by the developing fetus. To help yourself feel better during early pregnancy, get plenty of rest. To help with morning sickness symptoms, try eating soda crackers when you get up in the morning and eating several, small meals throughout the day. During the fourth through sixth months of pregnancy called the second trimester most women feel quite well. The nausea of morning sickness and the fatigue are usually gone and women feel more energetic.
