Pregnancy is something that everyone should be happy about, but many women experience nausea and vomiting in the early stages of pregnancy due to sudden changes in body hormones. Unlike other periods, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy only manifest as decreased appetite and unstable emotions. Some women even vomit severely and experience mild dehydration. Therefore, many people worry about whether nausea on an empty stomach during early pregnancy will affect the fetus?
Nausea on an empty stomach during early pregnancy
Generally, pregnant women will experience varying degrees of nausea and vomiting around six weeks of pregnancy, especially during the early stages of pregnancy when the nausea is more severe on an empty stomach. This is due to the increased levels of chorionic gonadotropin in the pregnant woman's blood, which cannot be digested by the gastrointestinal tract. If nausea and vomiting are not severe and the pregnant woman can tolerate them, no special treatment is needed, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the pregnant woman's reaction is severe, showing persistent vomiting, and even unable to eat or drink water, she must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
How to relieve nausea during early pregnancy
1. Eat small meals frequently: Pregnant women should try to eat small meals frequently and avoid greasy and spicy foods, which can alleviate pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting.
2. Vitamin B6 antiemetic: Vitamin B6 is a necessary substance for the human body and can alleviate nausea and vomiting symptoms during pregnancy. It has no harm, but excessive intake is harmful to the fetus.
3. Ginger has a miraculous effect in treating nausea and vomiting in pregnant women: using ginger in early pregnancy, like using vitamin B6, can reduce the occurrence of nausea, dry vomiting, and vomiting, and the effect is equivalent at every stage of early pregnancy.
From the above description, we can clearly understand that nausea on an empty stomach during early pregnancy is a normal pregnancy reaction and generally does not have a significant impact on the fetus. If nausea and vomiting are not severe, it is not recommended to intervene excessively. If nausea and vomiting have already affected eating and water intake, it is necessary to seek medical attention at the hospital to avoid excessive electrolyte imbalance that may affect the health of the mother and baby.
