Pregnancy Nausea

Pregnancy nausea, commonly known as morning sickness, is a frequent symptom experienced by many pregnant women, typically in the first trimester. It involves feelings of queasiness, discomfort, or mild to severe nausea, sometimes accompanied by vomiting. This occurs due to hormonal changes, especially increased levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and estrogen, which affect the digestive system and brain centers controlling nausea. While the exact cause isn't fully understood, it is generally a normal part of pregnancy. Managing nausea can include dietary adjustments, hydration, and sometimes medical guidance to ensure the health and comfort of both mother and baby.
