	Nausea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nausea (Greek Ναυτεία) is the sensation of unease and discomfort in the stomach with an urge to vomit.
		Nausea is not an illness in itself; it is rather a possible symptom of several conditions, many of which are not related to the stomach at all.
		Even though nausea is generally seen as an indication that something is wrong, experiencing it during pregnancy is quite normal, and should not be considered an immediate cause for alarm.
