Under normal circumstances, women's weight should increase after pregnancy. However, some women experience weight loss instead of gaining weight after discovering that they are pregnant, which proves that improper nutrition intake or other problems can have a certain impact on the development of the fetus. Therefore, this also makes many mothers feel very worried. So what exactly is weight loss during pregnancy? Today we will give you a detailed introduction.
Pregnant women experiencing symptoms such as selective eating, loss of appetite, mild nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue around 6 weeks of pregnancy are called early pregnancy reactions, also known as pregnancy vomiting. These reactions in most women do not require treatment and have little impact on their daily life and work. They disappear on their own around 12 weeks of pregnancy. A small number of women have severe reactions, showing persistent vomiting, and even being unable to eat or drink water, which is called preeclampsia. Pregnancy vomiting is related to hormone metabolism and emotional instability in the body.
Mild reactions may include repeated vomiting, loss of appetite, picky eating, weakness and weakness, sometimes accompanied by insomnia and constipation; Frequent episodes of vomiting due to anti Qingzhong, inability to eat or drink water, and the vomit may contain bile or coffee colored blood residue in addition to food and mucus. At the same time, there is overall fatigue, significant weight loss, reduced urination, accompanied by water and electrolyte imbalances. Severe pregnancy vomiting can have adverse effects on the health of pregnant women and the growth and development of fetuses.
This is because severe pregnancy vomiting prevents pregnant women from receiving nutrients, but they still need to provide the fetus with more and more nutrients. The only way to meet the needs of fetal growth is to store nutrients from the mother's body, which can lead to weight loss, weakened immunity, and increased susceptibility to diseases. If dehydration and acidosis occur, it can also threaten the lives of pregnant women and fetuses, and rescue measures must be taken.
The weight loss of pregnant women is caused by the above factors, and in fact, many women will experience varying degrees of early pregnancy reactions after pregnancy. Although most girls can choose not to undergo treatment, if vomiting is severe, measures need to be taken. Generally, this condition will improve significantly after mid pregnancy.
