Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy
Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy (NVP), commonly known as "morning sickness", is the most common complication during pregnancy, affecting the majority of pregnant women to some degree.
While it is true that some women will only experience mild NVP or none at all, it appears the vast majority of women suffer with moderate to severe NVP, which places a major burden on not only pregnant women, but their partners, families, and places of employment, as well as health care providers and facilities.

About NVP
Main Management
Management Introduction
Management of Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy (NVP) is complex. Since researchers currently do not know what causes it, or even how to best manage NVP's associated symptoms (NVP causes many other symptoms than just nausea and vomiting), there is no single best management method for all women.
Taking Medications and Vitamins
NVP can dramatically change a woman's medication schedule, based on when she is able to eat or avoid food long enough to take certain medications. Women also frequently have questions regarding what do if they miss a dose or need to change the time they take their dose.
