Morning sickness is a misnomer.
Pregnant women often feel nauseous becuase hormone changes irritate the stomach, especially when the stomach is empty. This is why pregnant women often munch on crackers and chips, to keep a little something on the stomach and keep it settled.
In the morning, after not eating all night, the stomach is empty, and the stress of getting up and getting started with the day can be enough to trigger an attack. this is why it's called "morning sickness", although it can happen any time of day or night.
The additional stress of getting up an hour early can make the queasiness harder to manage, so in that sense, yes, you could say that DST affects morning sickness. But not in the sense that morning sickness occurs on some sort of diurnal cycle.

No. It's called "morning sickness" because a pregnant woman feels it when she wakes up after a long sleep, which is usually in the morning. It can happen after any significant amount of time sleeping, at any time of the day or night . It's because your body is depleted and needs fuel.
