Just for sick moms in the morning! Please answer this questionnaire

Morning sickness. It has been estimated that 80% of all pregnant women experience some degree of nausea discomfort. Although each mother’s personal level of nausea can vary from mild to severe. Most nauseated moms will agree on one thing: it’s Never a fun experience.

Having been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness) in all eight pregnancies, I understand all the different phases and stages that nausea can go through in a pregnant woman. I created this quiz in the depths of my severe nausea experience in hopes that I might one day help and encourage other nauseated moms.

How severe is your morning sickness compared to others? Take this quiz to see what your nausea level is, and then find out how to get information to specifically combat nausea.
