Prenatal check-up in the 3rd month

Uncomfortable morning sickness always comes unexpectedly. "What to eat and what to vomit", "How much to eat and how much to vomit", "Dizzy and weak in limbs", most pregnant mothers say when it comes to morning sickness. Browsing the major pregnancy and baby websites, many pregnant mothers say that their morning sickness is very serious, and some also need to go to the hospital for nutritional injections or infusions.
