Morning sickness can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'needs attention' to 'very serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose morning sickness, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |

Dehydration | 99% | Confirm |
Adrenal Fatigue | 54% | Possible |

Studies have demonstrated a relationship between nausea in pregnancy and impaired liver function. The liver is responsible for filtering toxins from the blood and dehydration causes the blood to become thicker, making it harder for the liver to do its job. Impaired liver function and the resulting buildup of toxins in the blood can cause nausea and morning sickness.
