For many women, it is the first and best-known sign of pregnancy.
1. Do all women suffer from morning sickness?
No, according to British statistics twenty percent of women have no problems at all. Half of the women become nauseous in combination with vomiting, thirty percent of the women are only nauseous. If you were nauseous a lot during your previous pregnancy, that says nothing about how nauseous you will be during your next pregnancy.
2. When does morning sickness start?
Morning sickness often starts around the sixth week, but you can experience it even earlier.
3. What causes the nausea?
You don't have to worry about nausea, it is caused by a spike in HCG and estrogen in the first trimester of pregnancy. Do you suffer from migraines or motion sickness? Then you would also be more prone to nausea during your pregnancy.
Some time ago there were reports in the news that nausea is a good sign. De Volkskrant found out exactly how that works, interesting.
4. Until what week does morning sickness last? If only there was a strict end time for that damn morning sickness. On average, things get better between the twelfth and fifteenth week, but you can also be one of the unlucky ones and suffer from (morning) nausea throughout your pregnancy. Extreme and persistent nausea may indicate hyperemesis gravidarum.
5. When should you go to the doctor with morning sickness?
6. What can I do to reduce morning sickness?
Unfortunately, the home, garden and kitchen remedies do not work for everyone, but they are worth a try.
