Vomiting during pregnancy is a type of early pregnancy reaction that often manifests as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite when smelled during normal eating. It usually occurs around 5 weeks of pregnancy. There is also a certain correlation between morning sickness and the duration of pregnancy. So, is morning sickness getting worse day by day?
The feeling of vomiting during pregnancy should improve day by day under normal circumstances, but if it worsens day by day, it is mostly caused by severe vomiting during pregnancy. Severe and persistent nausea and vomiting can cause symptoms such as dehydration, ketosis, and even acidosis. Typically, 0.3% to 1% of pregnant women with nausea and vomiting will develop into preeclampsia.
Hyperemesis during pregnancy requires a definitive diagnosis. If it is found that the vomiting phenomenon in pregnant women has worsened and cannot be relieved, other diseases that may cause vomiting need to be ruled out, such as gastrointestinal infections, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, etc. For severe vomiting in pregnancy, other examination methods such as urine tests, blood tests, and ultrasound tests are needed to assist in understanding the condition.
Dietary regulation can alleviate morning sickness during pregnancy. It is necessary to ensure sufficient sleep time on weekdays, try to eat less food in the morning, and avoid spending too much time in front of the computer or phone screen. Strengthening physical exercise can also have a relieving effect on morning sickness. In addition, adding some apple juice or honey to drinking water can alleviate morning sickness and provide good protection for the stomach.
