Morning sickness could be good news

If you've dealt with, or are currently experiencing, a pregnancy where morning sickness is an issue you're probably thinking how on earth can nausea and vomiting be a good thing? Well a new study shows that women who suffer from morning sickness during pregnancy have a lower risk of getting breast cancer later in life. The study that found this connection looked at many pregnancy-related issues, but only nausea and vomiting seemed to have any connection to breast cancer risk -- even down to the severity of symptoms (the worse the sickness the lower the risk).

This was only one study, so experts say they don't really know what it means just yet. But it sounds promising! A sort of 'silver lining' to one of life's more unpleasant side-effects.
