Morning Sickness

Nausea in the Morning

Making the Diagnosis

Morning sickness isn't a disease and doesn't need elaborate diagnostic tests. If a woman is pregnant and is throwing up (or constantly feels like throwing up), a doctor will probably tell her that she has morning sickness. It's still morning sickness if she's only throwing up in the evenings or at other times during the day.

No matter how severe the vomiting, a woman is only diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum if she is losing weight or showing signs of severe dehydration.
