No one knows for sure what causes morning sickness, but there are a number of theories. The center for nausea and vomiting is located on the brain stem. There are a number of physical reasons why this area may be overstimulated during pregnancy, including the high level of hcg in the blood in the first trimester, the rapid stretching of the uterine muscles, the relative relaxation of the muscle tissue in the digestive tract, and the excess acid in the stomach caused by not eating or by eating the wrong foods. It is also suggested that emotional factors play a role. You can read more here

It's all hormonal. A woman's body changes when she becomes pregnant and hormone levels go up. It's not always an easy thing for a body to adjust to. The adjustment period is known as "morning sickness" though with my first son it was 24/7 and with my second it hit about 10:30 every night. Hope this helps.

Its because your body is toxic so vomiting is a way of getting rid of toxins.

Nausea is the typical cause. Having a reason does not help much.

Mainly Hormonal, but can be due to pressure from baby (less room).
