Is Nausea and Vomiting Normal in the Third Trimester? Symptoms that typically start earlier in pregnancy, such as nausea and vomiting, usually improve but may continue into the third trimester for some women.

The third trimester refers to the last three months of a pregnancy, lasting from weeks 29-40. As the fetus continues to grow and develop and turn itself head-down in preparation for delivery, most women experience a number of uncomfortable symptoms.

Symptoms that typically start earlier in pregnancy, such as nausea, vomiting (morning sickness), and fatigue, usually improve but may continue into the third trimester for some women.

Morning sickness can persist into the third trimester in 15%-20% of women and until delivery in 5% of women. However, vomiting later in pregnancy usually is not pregnancy-related.

Other causes of nausea and vomiting during the third trimester may include:

  • Cold or another infection
  • Food poisoning
  • Heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Ulcers
  • Dehydration
  • Preeclampsia
  • Hepatitis
  • Pancreatitis

Tell your doctor if you experience nausea and vomiting in your third trimester.
