QUESTION: I have been having terrible morning sickness with this pregnancy.
I always thought it normally stops after three months, but my girl friend
claims her problems continued past then
Can a woman have morning sickness
after the first three months of a pregnancy?

ANSWER: Yes, the discomfort and unpleasantness of nausea and vomiting can
persist into the second trimester of pregnancy
And it doesn’t mean your baby
is in any trouble
The exact cause of morning sickness hasn’t been determined
yet, but it is believed to be related to the levels of human chorionic
gonadotropin (HCG) in the mother’s circulation
The appearance of symptoms
generally coincides with a rise in the level of HCG, and the symptoms
disappear with the fall of HCG levels
Curiously, however, women with extreme
cases of morning sickness called “emesis gravidarum” often have lower than
normal HCG levels.
Some of the theories that have been suggested to explain the continuation
of morning sickness beyond the first trimester include allergic,
endocrinologic, and psychological factors
Too often in the past most of the
blame was placed on psychological factors, but studies have failed to prove
this to be consistently true.
