What is Morning Sickness? Does it mean there'sproblem? |
by:

Whether you’re extremely sick or not sick at all is notpredictor ofpregnancy’s success or failure.
Morning sickness has become synonymous with pregnancy in our culture. But certainly not every pregnant woman experiences it. (A medical term used to refer to extreme forms is hyperemesis gravidarum.) Onlylittle more than half of pregnant women are afflicted with nausea.
Many people believe that pregnancy sickness isbody’s natural defense system at work, protecting your baby from harmful toxins. It’s easy to jump toconclusion, then, that if you’re not sick, your body must not be protecting your child from harmful toxins. But it doesn’t work that way. The bottom line is that no conclusive evidence exists that not being sick isbad sign.
Nausea is caused bynumber of factors. The most popular theory about morning sickness is that it’s due to elevated hormones, primarily human chorionic gonadotropin and estrogen. Researchers believe nausea may have to do withamount of hormones circulating and perhapsstructure of certain hormones or your particular sensitivity to them. Also, if you havepre-pregnancy tendency toward motion sickness, it may meanarea of your brain that controls nausea and vomiting is more sensitive.
Environment can also playrole. Smells such as perfume, dog food, or coffee, as well as motion andsight of certain foods (a friend of mine would almost instantly become nauseous atsight ofcan of tuna) can all trigger nausea. Also, stress, fatigue, and operating onempty stomach can make you more prone to gastrointestinal upsets.
The bottom line is, nobody really knows why some women get sick and others don’t. What is important to know is that whether or not you experience morning sickness has nothing to do with how successful your pregnancy will be.
