One of the typical symptoms of pregnancy that first appears is nausea and vomiting, aka morning sickness. According to WHO, about 7 in 10 women will experience morning sickness during the first three months of pregnancy, and it can continue into the second trimester. Uniquely, there are some women who are completely nauseous and vomiting during pregnancy. Is this normal, or is it a sign of danger? Check out the reviews here.
What causes morning sickness?
The exact cause of morning sickness is not known for sure. However, some experts believe this is linked to an increase in the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and HCG during pregnancy.
Apart from changes in pregnancy hormones, there are several other things that are thought to affect the risk of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, namely:
- Decrease in blood pressure
- Decreased blood sugar (hypoglycemia)— Low blood sugar levels in the morning can trigger a nauseous sensation after waking up
- Changes in carbohydrate metabolism
- The sense of smell is sharpened - the sensitivity of the sense of smell usually increases during pregnancy so that the body can overreact to a certain smell or smell, which can lead to nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Some people believe that morning sickness can be triggered by a combination of physical changes and emotional stress causing physical discomfort.
Is it normal not to have nausea and vomiting during pregnancy?
Most pregnant women will experience morning sickness. But not experiencing it doesn't mean there's something wrong with your body or your pregnancy. Relax, not experiencing morning sickness is not a symptom of a miscarriage that you've probably heard from rumors. You should actually be happy if you don't feel nauseous and vomit while pregnant.
Every woman has her own way of adapting to the changes that occur during pregnancy. Morning sickness is the most common way for the body to "compensate for" any of these changes. Well, women who have never experienced nausea and vomiting during pregnancy are thought to have a higher tolerance for and be more resilient to changes that occur during pregnancy.
Simply put, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy are common and normal. Vice versa. Never having morning sickness doesn't mean there is a problem. However, if you are not sure about the condition you are experiencing, it would be better to have it checked by your gynecologist.
