Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy

چکیده
Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, or ”morning sickness” are very common, though not well understood. The extreme form, hyperemesis gravidarum can lead to severe complications. We analyzed articles which were published in the last years in this field in MEDLINE. Various etiologies have been suggested, including elevated levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, thyroid hormone or association with Helicobacter pylori infection. Despite the nausea and vomiting, patients are usually able to maintain adequate nutrition. The management of the condition involves symptomatic treatment along with antiemetics, pyridoxine and thiamine, however few studies have evaluated its effectiveness and safety.
