Brief Answer:
Usually decreases after 22 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Usually vomiting tendency decreases after 12 weeks .. If you are able to retain food you can wait for 3 weeks till 15 weeks.. If there is severe vomiting even after 15 weeks you can get a scan done to see for fetal well being and urine for ketone bodies..

Some women experience vomiting through out pregnancy..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
