Lots of pregnant women have morning sickness. What is morning sickness? What is hyperemesis gravidarum? You may be at risk for hyperemesis gravidarum if you: Are pregnant for the first time.
Are pregnant with a girl. Are pregnant with multiples twins, triplets or more. Being pregnant with more than one baby may increase your risk for severe morning sickness because you may have a large placenta and increased pregnancy hormones. The placenta grows in your uterus womb and supplies your babies with food and oxygen through the umbilical cord.
Had mild or severe morning sickness in a previous pregnancy, or your mother or sister had severe morning sickness during pregnancy. Take your family health history to help you find out about health conditions that run in your family. Have motion sickness or migraines. A migraine is a severe headache that may make you sensitive to bright lights and sound. Are overweight. Have trophoblastic disease, a condition that leads to abnormal cell growth in the uterus womb. Signs and symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum include: Vomiting more than 3 to 4 times a day Vomiting that makes you dizzy or lightheaded Vomiting that makes you dehydrated.
Morning sickness is most common during the first trimester and usually begins by nine weeks after conception. Symptoms improve for most expectant mothers by the mid to late second trimester. The exact cause of morning sickness is unknown.
Hormonal changes are thought to play a role in morning sickness. Rarely, severe or persistent nausea or vomiting may be caused by a medical condition unrelated to pregnancy — such as thyroid or liver disease. Mild nausea and vomiting of pregnancy typically won't cause any complications to you or your baby.
If left untreated, severe nausea and vomiting can cause dehydration, an electrolyte imbalance, decreased urination and hospitalization. Research is mixed on whether hyperemesis gravidarum causes poor weight gain for your baby during your pregnancy.
There's no way to completely prevent morning sickness. However, avoiding triggers such as strong odors, excessive fatigue, spicy foods and foods high in sugar may help. Mayo Clinic does not endorse companies or products.
