You may have been suffering from nausea for a couple of weeks and then found your morning sickness gone. Is it cause for alarm? Will it come back? Here are the answers to those questions based on my own personal experience.

Typically morning sickness will first strike anywhere from 6-7 weeks, although it’s still quite normal for it to come earlier or later than that. Usually it will gradually get worse as the hormone levels in your body get higher.

Then a couple of weeks later, you wake up and you feel fine and your morning sickness seems to be gone. This is the point that many women panic because they think there is something wrong with their pregnancy. Although sometimes that is the case, your level of nausea shouldn’t be an indicator of the health of your baby.

Often times the reason that your morning sickness comes and goes at this point in your pregnancy is because the placenta will start taking over the production of hormones. Usually you’ll wake up the next morning and feel sick all over again and you’ll realize that you should have just enjoyed the day off from the misery!

Eventually you’ll start feeling better for longer periods at a time until hopefully your morning sickness is gone for good. Although some women are sick for the entire length of their pregnancy, that is not common. Once you hit the 2nd trimester, freedom from your morning sickness should be right around the corner.
