Morning sickness: It's one of the most frequently complained about symptoms of pregnancy. Mention it in a group full of women and most will moan in recognition. You can't live with it, and, if you're pregnant, you probably can't get out of it. How do women cope? How long does it last, and can something so common be dangerous?

Jennifer Hans, a mother of four from Fort Wayne, Ind., dealt with morning sickness with all four pregnancies. "I had a swimmy tummy from the time I got up in the morning until the time I got into bed at night," says Hans. "Although I never vomited, I had to endure a constant case of nausea that made me feel horrible around the clock."

Though Hans tried every remedy available, nothing seemed to cure the morning sickness all together. She did find that keeping something in her stomach helped keep the sickness at bay, and knowing that it wouldn't last forever kept her going.

"Morning sickness doesn't last forever," says Hans. "It's hard to imagine, but food will be appealing to you once again. You just have to let nature run its course."
