The cause of morning sickness is unknown, but there are a few ideas in the medical community of what might be the cause.

Here are a two theories:

  • HCG: human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone secreted during pregnancy
  • Diseases: gallbladder disease, ulcer disease, hypothyroidism

What is the cure? Though there is no definite cure, there are things you can consider when you feel sick: diet, fluids, and medications.
