Earlier research found that pregnant women who suffer from morning sickness
were less likely to miscarry-- suggesting that if you were nausea-free you had
a higher risk of an unsuccessful pregnancy.
Now, a new study out of Pennsylvania State University says those reports are
misleading.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
203 pregnant women between the ages of 18 and 47 were studied-- and
researchers found the younger they were, the more likely they were to have
morning sickness, and they also found that as women get older, they have a
higher risk of unsuccessful pregnancy.

Consequently, when researchers put it all together they said the absence of
morning sickness does not indicate a greater likelihood of miscarrying.
