NAUSEA AND VOMITING OF PREGNANCY Nausea
and vomiting of pregnancy is a common condition that affects
the health of the pregnant woman and her fetus. It can diminish
the woman's quality of life and also significantly contributes
to health care costs and time lostfrom work (1,2). Because
“morning sickness" is common in early pregnancy, the presence
of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy may be minimized by
obstetricians, other obstetric providers, and pregnant women
and, thus, undertreated (1).
