We remember what it’s like to spend months curled up in the foetal position. Solidarity with Sam Frost. Good to see headline call this “severe pregnancy sickness”, because it’s not ‘morning sickness’. https://t.co/cmbbRyeuoc

Sam Frost recently announced she is expecting her second child with Australian Survivor star Jordie Hansen.

Indeed! Time to change the language and call it ‘pregnancy sickness’ instead. Please check out our campaign @LiveScience and help us ditch this inaccurate & demeaning name for good.
Why is it called 'morning sickness' if it can happen any time of day?

Preach! Great to see this piece in @ConversationUK arguing that we need to retire the term ‘morning sickness’ because it’s inaccurate & downplays the condition. Welcome to the campaign @LukeGrzeskowiak and Hannah Jackson. https://t.co/lyeMpi1Ugj

We know nausea and vomiting is common all times of day during pregnancy. Calling it morning sickness contributes to the stigma and misunderstanding of the condition.

Thank you Dr Euan Lawson for your brilliant letter in the Guardian calling time on ‘morning sickness’. He’s right. The term has diminished this illness for generations. Pregnancy sickness strikes morning, noon and night. Change the language! https://t.co/h6fHVlCFFg

Major news: This is a very exciting breakthrough! But PLEASE stop calling it ‘morning sickness’. It’s pregnancy sickness which can happen at any time of day or night and around the clock! Will we really find a cure before we cure our language? https://t.co/8mGhMYLYcL

Hey @thebump 👋 If you want to support expectant parents through pregnancy, could you stop using the term ‘morning sickness’ and use ‘pregnancy sickness’ instead? Pregnancy sickness doesn’t only happen in the morning (and you can’t always ward it off) https://t.co/p0Kew4l3mA

“Why is morning sickness still called that by the NHS, when studies have proved it’s an all-day rush to the sick bucket for the many who get it?” PREACH @lucyjones & @juderogers Time to call it pregnancy sickness. https://t.co/QfiHFjSRHz

I was already excited about reading 'Matrescence' by @lucyjones but now desperate to get a copy. Lucy sees 'morning sickness' as an unfit term to describe an all-day illness. Hurray. Perhaps another ambassador for our @notmorningsick campaign? https://t.co/cNnsEDvLhW

This sounds like good news, but come on @newscientist - this isn’t an illness confined to the morning! Stop calling it ‘morning sickness’ and call it ‘pregnancy sickness’ instead. The former is inaccurate, misleading and minimises the suffering of women. https://t.co/Bj2TyzbfZd

Hey @OK_Magazine @Kirsty_Hatcher 👋 Could you please change your headline and copy to describe Catherine’s illness as ‘pregnancy sickness’? We’re campaigning to change the language because ‘morning’ sickness is misleading, inaccurate and trivialises a serious illness.
Former #Corrie actress Catherine Tyldesley was struggling with morning sickness on set of season 3 of #McDonaldAndDodds

Check out this advert from the 1950s for a ‘morning sickness’ remedy. Whilst we may laugh at this blatant example of #EverydaySexism, we still haven’t shaken the label! It’s time to consign ‘morning sickness’ to history because it doesn’t only happen in the morning.

Not one person warned me that “morning sickness” could last 24 hours a day

@RosaSilverman Any chance you can have a word with the headline-writer for this and get it changed? We’re working against headlines like this. The print edition yesterday was perfect - ‘We must stop trivialising morning sickness’

A rather unfortunate online headline given the content of the feature being so supportive of our campaign. TLDR It’s NOT morning sickness! Time to change the language. @WIJ_UK

Fantastic to see our campaign featured in the @Telegraph today. It was a pleasure to talk to @RosaSilverman about why we need to take pregnancy sickness more seriously and change the language away from the belittling ‘morning sickness’

Really grateful to @amyschumer and @HGmoms for sharing this insight into the misery of Hyperemesis Gravidarum. We’re calling for a change in language around pregnancy sickness - because ‘morning sickness’ isn’t confined to the morning and minimises a serious condition.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum is not the morning sickness of a healthy pregnancy. Kimber MacGibbon explains HG for @amyschumer's Expecting Amy. #hyperemesisgravidarum #ExpectingAmy #docuseries #AmySchumer #pregnancy #maternalhealth #HGimpact #advocacy #HGawareness
