Show Me the Science with Luke O'Neill · The Science of Morning Sickness · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

So hence. voice-verified

Since NVP is the more precise name for this because it's nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, and not necessarily just in the morning. voice-verified

It happens between the fourth and sixteenth week of pregnancy, so there seems to be a peak around week 10 or so. voice-verified

People often report it being especially sort of severe, you might say. voice-verified

And there is a serious end to this. voice-verified

The most serious form is called hyperemesis gravidarum, and that can be really severe. voice-verified

That's a cause of concern. voice-verified

Now mercifully only one point six percent get that. voice-verified

So that's pretty rare, but it can cause awful unease and pain and suffering in women, weight loss and all kinds of things and can give rise to miscarriage. voice-verified

So it's quite serious if you have severe morning sickness. voice-verified

I'll keep using the term morning sickness anyway, 'cause it's the one we use. voice-verified

If it gets really, really severe, you gotta go and see your G P and if you feel bad anyway, go and see your GP. voice-verified

But you've got to watch it because a small number of people can develop hyperemesis, which is an awful lot of vomiting and that can cause electrolyte imbalances. voice-verified

nutritional problems and weight loss and all kinds of things. voice-verified

So you've got to watch out for that one. voice-verified

But the vast majority do not develop that. voice-verified

It affects about 80% of women overall. voice-verified

So very, very common. voice-verified

It's very rare that a woman doesn't have morning sickness as she's going through pregnancy. voice-verified

And there will be different extremes as well. voice-verified
