What is Morning sickness?
What is Morning Sickness? – Morning Sickness is nausea, with or without vomiting, that occurs during pregnancy.5 About 85% of people experience some degree of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.6 Nausea and Vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) can limit a person’s ability to continue their usual activities and affect quality of life. One-third to half of all women with NVP require time off work, and the economical and societal costs include loss of productivity and an increased use of healthcare resources. An Australian study in 1999 commented that although the quality of life for women with NVP was similar to that of Australians with chronic illness, it often remained untreated or undertreated.7
Elevit Morning sickness relief brings you a combination of clinically proven ingredients1-4 to help you reclaim your mornings, afternoons and evenings!
For most people, morning sickness begins around the fourth week of pregnancy and resolves by weeks 12 to 14. However, 1 in 5 people endure morning sickness into their second trimester, and an unfortunate few experience nausea and vomiting for the entire duration of their pregnancy. Morning sickness is typically at its worst early in the day, hence its name, but it can strike at any point during the day or night.5
What causes Morning sickness in pregnancy?
The cause of morning sickness remains a mystery, but it is thought a combination of physical and metabolic factors play a signicant role, including:
high levels of hormones, including oestrogen
fluctuations in blood pressure, particularly lowered blood pressure
altered metabolism of carbohydrates
the enormous physical and chemical changes that pregnancy triggers.5
Severe Morning Sickness:
Seek urgent medical attention if you think this applies to you.
Severe morning sickness is known as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), and can affect around one in 1000 pregnant women. The symptoms of HG include repeated vomiting, weight loss and dehydration. Treatment usually involves hospitalisation, and the administering of intravenous liquids and nutrition.
The possible complications of untreated hyperemesis gravidarum include:
electrolyte imbalances
extreme depression and anxiety
malnourishment of the fetus
excessive strain on vital organs, including the liver, heart, kidneys and brain.5
