Normal and abnormal vomiting during pregnancy In the second half of pregnancy, women, as a rule, experience physiological pregnancy - gestational. It means the physiological state of a woman in which the period of gestation of a child is artificially extended thanks to specific hormones. Pregnancy can occur together with physiological and pathology, sometimes they are combined. Corresponding nausea and vomiting occurs. If you encounter a similar problem, you must immediately consult a doctor, otherwise you risk complicating your pregnancy in later stages. The same reaction can be provoked by an intestinal infection or biliary spasms, if such phenomena begin before conception, symptoms of nausea are possible, but due to the balance of the mother’s organs, the body more easily compensates for these disturbances using its resources, especially since this most often occurs in the middle of the first trimester, when the woman’s already immune system is significantly reduced in favor of the development of the embryo. As the fetus grows, the body's natural defenses are replenished and return to those of an ordinary healthy person, if the mother continues to eat harmful foods. If you take strong medications in the first ten weeks of pregnancy, excessive vomiting syndrome may be more severe. In this case, all the signs of early toxicosis appear, up to nephropathy in the second half of pregnancy and failure of the fetus to be released by the kidneys.
