Questions for your doctor on morning sickness

Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Women may wish to ask their doctor or healthcare professional the following questions about morning sickness:

  1. How likely is it that I will develop morning sickness?

  2. What do you recommend to reduce my symptoms?

  3. How severe should my nausea and vomiting be before I call you?

  4. Should I be taking vitamin B-6 supplements?

  5. When will my morning sickness end?

  6. What steps will be taken if my morning sickness persists?

  7. Can I use alternative treatments, such as acupuncture or herbs?

  8. If I don't have any morning sickness, is it a bad sign?

  9. How do I know if I'm dehydrated?

  10. How do I know if my vomiting is related to something other than morning sickness?

  11. Can I take over-the-counter medicines to help my nausea?

  12. Am I likely to experience morning sickness in future pregnancies?
