Symptoms of nausea, vomiting and tiredness are common during early pregnancy. Around half of all pregnant women will experience both nausea and vomiting, and 28% of women will experience nausea without vomiting.

Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) is an unwelcome, but perfectly normal, part of pregnancy and it does not put your baby at any increased risk.

Studies have shown that women who have NVP tend to have healthier pregnancies, with lower rates of miscarriages and still births, compared with women who have nausea-free pregnancies.

NVP can often be treated by making changes to your diet and by taking plenty of rest.

NVP is sometimes trivialised as a minor inconvenience of pregnancy, but it can have a significant, adverse affect on your day-to-day activities and quality of life. The support of friends and family may help you to cope better with this upsetting condition.
