Not every pregnant women experiences this. So I have wondered if it is that the body of some women feel it is being poisoned by the pregnancy or something? Not accepting the fetus.
I always felt good pregnant. My skin improved. I had good energy and I felt healthy. I craved certain foods and didn't like others but that was about it.

Yes, I understand that. I was kinda hoping that those who get sick and go to the Doctor and deal with this during their pregnancy would know why morning sickness befalls some pregnant women. After all they have delt with this issue. I know it happens. I am asking WHY? Does anyone know what causes it to happen.

it's a hormonal surge, your body has to adjust to the new hormones it is creating to support the pregnancy. Some women are unaffected, it didn't bother me either. I think some are just more sensitive to preg. hormones, but it's not a rejection of the fetus.

An increase in the hormone progesterone relaxes the uterine muscles, which prevents early labor... but may also relax the stomach and intestines, leading to excess stomach acids.
A buildup in hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) may be the culprit, in which case things will settle back to normal after the 12th week of pregnancy and hCG levels decrease.
An increase in sensitivity to odors, meaning that you're smelling some new scents you never could before, and they ain't pretty.
Eating vegetables. Margie Profet theorized in her book Pregnancy Sickness: Using Your Body's Natural Defenses to Protect Your Baby-To-Be (1997) that the small amounts of toxins vegetables produce to fight off insects are normally harmless to humans but extremely dangerous to embryos; therefore, becoming nauseous during pregnancy was an evolutionary step towards protecting the fetus. Eat bland foods and you eat less toxins; thus, women suffering from NVP were less likely have children with birth defects. On the other hand, Judith Brown, a nutritionist at the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health, has linked consumption of fruits and vegetables to higher birth weights, and higher birth weights tend to mean healthier babies. So there's no clear consensus on whether eating vegetables is good or bad.

Ever woman reacts differently to the surge in hormones. So get sick others don't. I didn't have morning sickness but my face was broke out the whole time.

It has to do with the level of hormone production. Some woman produce more hormones than others, causing all sorts of symptoms, nausea is one of them.
