Morning sickness vs. hyperemesis gravidarum
It’s critical to differentiate between morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum because each pregnancy has unique complications and side effects associated with each condition.
Morning sickness
These two symptoms typically go away after 12 to 14 weeks. The vomiting doesn’t result in severe dehydration. Morning sickness typically includes nausea, which is occasionally accompanied by vomiting.
Hyperemesis gravidarum
HG is characterized by severe vomiting and persistent nausea, which makes it impossible to swallow any food or liquids and causes severe dehydration.
HG can be extremely crippling and cause fatigue that lasts for weeks or months. Symptoms of HG usually start within the first six weeks of pregnancy. Nausea frequently doesn’t go away.
Although there is no known cure for morning sickness or HG, there are ways to manage the symptoms, which can help prevent dehydration and poor weight gain during pregnancy.
Symptoms :
The following are some of the most prevalent signs of HG:
- feeling nearly constant nausea
- loss of appetite
- more than three or four daily episodes of vomiting
- becoming dehydrated
- feeling light-headed or dizzy
- more than 10 pounds lost or 5% of body weight lost as a result of nausea or vomiting
Causes
Morning sickness, which is nausea and vomiting that can happen at any time during pregnancy but is referred to as such because it only happens in the morning, affects nearly all pregnant women to some extent.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy, appears to be linked to both morning sickness and HG.
Risk Factor
HG risk factors include some of the following:
- possessing HG family history
- the state of having multiple children
- being overweight
- being a first-time mother
The condition known as trophoblastic disease, which develops when cells inside the uterus grow abnormally, can also result in HG.
