Vomiting is one of the most common symptoms of early pregnancy. And it is somewhat good to happen, because it indicates that the early pregnancy hormones have kicked in properly. It usually subsides by the end of 1st trimester..But for some,it might continue for the entire pregnancy,though to a lesser degree.
Next Steps
Please visit your nearest Gynecologist to get your wife checked up thoroughly..as the first ANC visit is very important. Hydration is vital,since continuous vomiting can drain the body of fluids. You can ask your doctor to prescribe an anti-emetic,if the vomiting is too much.
Health Tips
Take dry snacks..keep on munching something..and take plenty of fluids..
Enjoy your journey..
