Morning sickness is a common symptom many pregnant women experience. The name implies that the overwhelming feeling of nausea only happens in the morning, which isn't necessarily true. Morning sickness can happen at any time throughout the day or night. Sometimes, it's also accompanied by vomiting. That nauseous feeling typically starts around the nine-week mark and lasts for the first three months.

For some women, morning sickness begins to wane at the back end of the first trimester. For others, though, it can last much longer, with many moms-to-be dealing with nausea and vomiting throughout the whole pregnancy. Of course, that horrible nauseousness can keep women from doing the things they want and need to do during the day. Thankfully, there are foods that fight nausea during pregnancy that can help keep morning sickness on the back burner. If you're combatting morning sickness, give these foods a try.
