About morning sickness
Women in their pregnancy experience nausea and vomiting especially during the first trimester. This is termed morning sickness as it is worst early morning or early in the day, but it can happen at any time. This condition is most common in the first trimester of pregnancy, often starting from 6-8 weeks. Usually, morning sickness subsides week 12 or by the first trimester but if it persists it is important to seek medical attention. Morning sickness is also caused by certain triggers such as:
- Hormonal changes: Increase in hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and estrogen.
- Sensitivity to odours: Pregnant women become sensitive to certain odours
- Gastric changes: Slower digestion and an empty stomach can contribute to nausea.
Morning sickness symptoms
Morning sickness symptoms typically start around the 6th week of pregnancy and usually subside by the end of the first trimester. However, some women may experience symptoms throughout their pregnancy. If symptoms are severe or lead to weight loss or dehydration, you should consult a doctor. Some of the morning sickness symptoms include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Food aversions
- Increased sensitivity to smells
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
