Usually 60-70% of women experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting. These symptoms usually begin around the 6th week and end around the 12th week. One measure to avoid vomiting is small, frequent meals.
This is because the main cause of nausea is the production of gastric juices, which irritate the gastrokinetic reflex, resulting in vomiting. For this reason, we recommend dry foods. If the symptoms are intense and prolonged, particular attention should be paid to possible dehydration of the pregnant woman and electrolyte imbalance. In these cases, hospital admission and intravenous rehydration may be necessary
