How it's used
This term specifically highlights the physical discomfort of early pregnancy rather than just the state of being pregnant. It carries a slightly informal and descriptive tone, often used when discussing someone's visible struggle with nausea. It is not a clinical term and is mostly used in casual conversation among friends or family.

Common mistake
Do not use this term to refer to a woman who is heavily pregnant, as it specifically describes the early stage associated with morning sickness. Using it for a woman in her third trimester would be inaccurate and potentially confusing.
