Morning sickness is nausea and vomiting that occurs during pregnancy but despite its name it can occur at any time of day or night. Oftentimes women will experience a peak in symptoms of nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy with symptoms resolving by the end of the first trimester. Some women will experience moderate morning sickness throughout their pregnancy and severe cases can cause dehydration and metabolic dysfunction.
“The severe case, which we term, hyperemesis gravidarum, only occurs in 2% of pregnant women, these are women who can’t keep anything down”, shares Dr. Hass. Medications may be required in severe cases and morning sickness in one pregnancy can be a risk factor for developing it in subsequent pregnancies. While much is still unknown about the causes of morning sickness, there is research that suggests vitamin b-6 can help alleviate morning sickness and lessen the frequency and severity of symptoms. Vitamin b-6 is found in eggs, turkey, and whole grains however Dr. Hass advises supplementing with a high quality prenatal with a minimum of 10,000 milligrams of vitamin b-6. Pregnant women should track their symptoms of nausea and vomiting and speak with their obstetricians on the amount of supplementation needed. Morning sickness can cause significant discomfort and loss of productivity, delays in treatment can cause a worsening of symptoms.
