Patient's question:
I had my period on October 16th last month, but it hasn't come this month on November 16th. I bought a pregnancy test and it confirmed I'm pregnant. However, since the 26th, I haven't been able to eat, and everything tastes like nothing when it gets in my mouth. Even my favorite dishes, which I usually love, are now impossible to swallow. But my stomach is growling with hunger, yet nothing tastes good in my mouth! Is this pregnancy-related? If it is, what can I do to solve this?Doctor's answer:
Early pregnancy symptoms have appeared. Early pregnancy symptoms generally indicate that fetal development is normal, so you can rest assured. After pregnancy, most people will experience early pregnancy symptoms. If these symptoms disappear, there may be a possibility of embryonic arrest. If these symptoms persist, it may be a sign of normal embryonic development. Additionally, the severity of these symptoms is related to your constitution. Some people experience severe symptoms, while others may not have any. Therefore, judging fetal development solely based on early pregnancy symptoms is not comprehensive. An ultrasound examination is necessary to dynamically observe the development.
