Patient's question:
Three months pregnant and still having severe reactions, always vomiting and feeling nauseous. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, when a woman is about four weeks pregnant, the corpus luteum in her body stimulates a significant increase in the secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which leads to a marked decrease in stomach acid and a subsequent reduction in the activity of digestive enzymes. This not only affects the normal digestive function of the pregnant woman's gastrointestinal tract but also causes pregnancy-related symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and limb fatigue, collectively known as "morning sickness." This is a normal physiological phenomenon. As long as it is not severe vomiting, it can be treated by a doctor and vitamin B supplements can be taken. Pregnant women should eat light and easily digestible foods and have small, frequent meals, which is beneficial for both the child and the mother.
