What causes nausea during pregnancy?
Patient: Hi, I m 14 1/4 weeks pregnant with my second baby. This pregnancy I ve got off pretty lightly with nausea compared to last time (this time I just felt sick for around 1/2 hour a day from weeks 7-9, but then felt fine since. I do quite often still feel faint in the morning, but this usually goes away after having breakfast. I haven t vomited last pregnancy despite feeling much more sick. This pregnancy I hadn t either until today! I felt more faint than usual this morning. It seemed to improve after a couple of small chocolate squares. At 12:15 I started feeling a bit sick, and by 2 I vomited once. I ve felt really weak since but not sick. I ve eaten some dinner but just don t have an appetite as big as normal. I feel faint if I stand for too long. I m worried I have got something that could affect my unborn baby? Could it be listeriosis? I ve got no flu like symptoms though, just those described above, and I m super careful with food and hygiene at the moment. Does this sound like an illness or late morning sickness? Hopefully someone could help as I m worried and searching online is not helping. Doctor: Pregnancy first trimester is characterised by morning sickness.It may vary in duration and severity depending from person to person. It is advisable to not take too much liquids after breakfast and take dry goods in morning. Also, tablet Doxylamine and pyridoxine supplementation also helps. severe cases are called hyperemesis gravidarum which need hospitalisation.
