A member asked:

For what reasons do women in their early pregnancy have the morning sickness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormones: The pregnancy hormone HCG causes nausea in many women. Hcg will begin to decrease when the placenta matures early in the second trimester and subsequently the morning sickness usually resolves then.
