What should I do if I have a reaction to “pregnancy vomiting”? Pregnancy can cause a variety of discomforts, and “pregnancy sickness” is one of the most common symptoms, which can be manifested as inability to eat or even vomiting, and sometimes the taste becomes strange or heavy. Why does “pregnancy vomiting” occur? Physiological causes: The most relevant physiological cause of “pregnancy vomiting” is the increase of hCG level after pregnancy. Although elevated hCG levels are associated with “pregnancy sickness”, not all pregnant people will experience “pregnancy sickness”. Evolutionary reasons: In fact, the occurrence of “pregnancy vomiting” has a so-called human “evolutionary” theory, the biggest purpose of which is to protect the child. Its role is firstly to remind you that you are pregnant and need to pay attention to the appropriate adjustment of your lifestyle. The second is a self-protection mechanism that allows the mother-to-be to vomit up bad and toxic food at any time to avoid harming her child. In fact, for mothers-to-be who are on “birth control”, doctors usually want to see the appearance of “pregnancy vomiting”, which generally means that the hCG level is high and the probability of a bad embryo is small. If you don’t feel anything at all, you should be alert because after the embryo stops developing, the hCG level drops and you won’t experience “pregnancy vomiting”, or “pregnancy vomiting” will be relieved. Is there any relationship between the degree of “pregnancy vomiting” and the change of taste and the sex of the fetus? There are many folklore stories about the birth of a child, one of which is the “sour child” story, but most of them are not reliable. For mothers-to-be who are pregnant again, if the pattern of vomiting is completely different from the last pregnancy, for example, if the vomiting was very strong last time and now you don’t feel it at all, or the other way around, it is really possible that the sex of the fetus is different, according to the folklore, the “fetal energy” of boys and girls is different. The folk saying is that the “fetal energy” is different for boys and girls. But please note that this claim is not so reliable, may be only a slightly greater probability, do not take it too seriously, serious is not fun, as a strange story to hear can also be. Will “pregnancy sickness” affect the growth and development of the embryo? No, because the embryo is small during early pregnancy and needs less nutrition, if it needs it, it will get it from the mother automatically. No matter how much you eat or don’t eat, or how much you throw up, the baby can still get nutrition from the mother’s body, which is the great thing about motherhood. “Pregnancy vomiting mainly occurs in the early pregnancy period, after which it will basically disappear. A very small number of mothers may vomit until the middle or end of pregnancy, and for these mothers, the doctor may take appropriate measures to ensure the growth and development of the child. Should I gain back the weight as soon as possible after the “pregnancy vomiting” period? Many mothers-to-be will lose weight because of “pregnancy vomiting”, and after the early pregnancy period, they will gradually regain their appetite, and under the urging of their mothers-in-law, they will start to make up for their food, or even make up for it. This is not scientific and unhealthy for the mother and baby. After the “pregnancy vomit” disappears, no matter how good your appetite is, you still need to adjust in line with the principle of “moderation and balance”, overweight during pregnancy will lead to many maternal and child complications occurring in higher probability. The principle of treatment is generally not medication, you can try light food, eat less and more meals, do not force if you can not eat. Many people in China, especially mothers-in-law, prefer Chinese medicine, and there are many remedies for “pregnancy sickness” in China, one of which is to drink ginger tea. Some people have done research on ginger tea to treat “pregnancy vomiting”, and it still works for some people, so try it. Don’t think there are no prescriptions abroad, in fact, there are also, for “pregnancy vomiting”, the prescriptions of the crooked people is: X mouth cola (please note, not X thing cola). This recipe was taught to me by a crooked person, and the person who taught me this recipe is also a famous professor of obstetrics and gynecology. For some desperate mothers-to-be, I have actually recommended them to try it, and I have been told that it works. You can try it and give me a reply if it works or not, so that I can make a general judgment on whether it is necessary to do a RCT (randomized controlled) study of X-mouth cola for “pregnancy sickness”. What should I do if I am throwing up so much that I can’t even drink water, my urine is positive for ketones, and I have lost a significant amount of weight? You need to be hospitalized for “hanging saline”, the doctor will help you to determine what to hang and what to replenish, the principle is to replenish the necessary nutrition, ensure the balance of water and electrolytes, and replenish the necessary vitamins.
