Many pregnant women will experience pregnancy vomiting: mainly nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, they cannot eat and can only drink water.
The main reason
After pregnancy, the placenta secretes a hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, which inhibits gastric acid secretion, causing a decrease in gastric acid and a decrease in the activity of digestive enzymes. The level of this hormone peaks at 8-10 weeks of pregnancy and then gradually decreases. Therefore, pregnancy sickness is strongest in the first 3 months and gradually improves.
Other causes
Clinical observation also shows that pregnant women with excessive mental stress, anxiety, worry and poor living environment and economic status are prone to pregnancy vomiting, so pregnancy vomiting has a lot to do with the mental condition and social factors of pregnant women.
Pregnancy vomiting itself is a normal physiological reaction and a protection mechanism of the body.
The harmful substances in daily life do not pose any threat to normal people and usually the body does not have any adverse reaction. But it is different for pregnant women, because once these toxins enter the embryo, it will affect the normal growth and development of the fetus, so the nose of pregnant women is particularly good, and the vomiting center is also extra sensitive, as soon as they smell an unfavorable smell or eat something that the body considers unsuitable, vomiting will occur, so that they can maximize the rejection of all kinds of harmful substances out of the door.
2 types of pregnancy vomiting, treated differently
1.Mild pregnancy vomiting
It has no obvious effect on fetal development and does not require special treatment, and usually disappears on its own around the 12th week of pregnancy.
2. Hyperemesis gravidarum
High priority should be given to severe pregnancy vomiting because it will affect both the pregnant woman and the fetal development. Vomiting will not only lead to a lack of various substances in the body, but also cause disorders in the internal environment of the body, resulting in metabolic acidosis, which can cause miscarriage, premature birth, malformation, intrauterine growth retardation, and even fetal death. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment and adjustment in time.
Nutritional supplementation
Pregnant women should let nature take its course and treat pregnancy vomiting differently. Keep optimistic emotions, regulate diet, eat less and more meals, ensure nutrition, naturally meet the needs of the body.
Need a lot of protein and nucleic acid
The first 3 months is a critical period for the initial differentiation of the embryo, and the first peak of human brain development is in the 10-18 weeks of gestation. If there is a lack of nutrition at this time, it will not only affect the intellectual development of the child, but may also cause miscarriage, premature birth, malformation, intrauterine growth retardation, and even fetal death.
Take some iron and calcium supplements as appropriate
Iron is an indispensable trace element for the human body and is an essential raw material for the production of hemoglobin in pregnant women and fetuses. At 2-3 months of pregnancy, fetal bones begin to form, and the main component that makes up the bones is calcium, to make calcium salts to form bone.
Eat more fresh vegetables, fish, meat, milk and other high-protein foods
Pregnant women had better choose more fresh fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, mandarin oranges, apricots, strawberries, prunes, pomegranates, cherries, grapes, oranges, apples, etc. They are not only fragrant, but also nutritious. To supplement the body needs.
Some pregnant women love sour food
From a nutritional point of view, sour foods generally contain more vitamin C, which has an important role in the formation of the cellular matrix of the fetus, the production of connective tissue, the growth and development of cardiovascular and the soundness of the hematopoietic system.
Warm tips.
1, eat sour food should also be scientific. Such as artificial pickles, vinegar products, some nutrients are basically destroyed, and some pickled foods are prone to produce carcinogens such as nitrite, after eating the mother, fetal health are not good.
2, hawthorn pieces, although sweet and sour, but will accelerate uterine contractions, and even cause miscarriage, so pregnant women should not eat more.
3, even if the vomiting is very violent, do not take antiemetic drugs, because many antiemetic drugs will have an impact on the development of the fetus.
