Morning Sickness

… Starting off with the most common! Morning sickness is probably the most usual early pregnancy problem you will face.

It is characterised by a feeling of queasiness and nausea. Morning sickness happens because of increased activity of the oestrogen and progesterone hormones in your body during pregnancy.

You will also experience a stronger sense of smell and will become very sensitive to stronger smells.

Carrying a baby is a stressful affair and you could be feeling very tired at the end of the day, even though you have not really done much work.

Remember, fatigue can also happen if you are not eating well and not getting enough rest. Your energy levels will go up in the second trimester, but before that you are likely to feel weak most of the times.
