Dr. Trupti Raheja, Obstetrician and Gynecologist of CK Birla Hospital, says that it does bother a little, but in most of the cases it is due to the normal changes taking place inside the body. Let us know why women suffer from 'morning' sickness in the initial months of pregnancy. Apart from this, the doctor will also try to know from Tripti which women are troubled by this problem more.

'Morning' sickness occurs due to this reason during pregnancy

1. Hormone surge – the biggest reason

After pregnancy, some hormones increase very rapidly in the body, especially HCG and estrogen. The placenta (which nourishes the baby) makes HCG, and the amount is highest in the first three months. This hormone activates the vomiting part of the brain. For this reason, people start getting nervous immediately due to small smells, tastes or food items. As estrogen increases, the ability to smell and taste becomes sharper. That's why sometimes even the normal smell of the house suddenly becomes unbearable.

2. The power of smelling and tasting increases

During pregnancy, the body's sense of smell suddenly becomes very sharp. Scientists believe that this is the body's way of protecting the child. The body itself starts saying 'no' to strong, bitter, spoiled, or very spicy food. This is a kind of natural alarm system, so that mother and child remain safe.

3. Digestion process slows down

Progesterone hormone increases during pregnancy. This slows down the speed of digestion, which increases gas, acidity, heaviness in the stomach and feeling like vomiting. When the stomach digests food slowly, even a small amount of food can cause vomiting.

4. Some scientists consider it 'natural security'

Some research says that morning sickness is actually a way to protect the baby. In the initial months, when the baby's organs are forming, the body wants the mother to rest and avoid foods that could harm the baby. This is the reason why one feels less hungry and feels like vomiting.

5. Which women face more problems?

- Women who are pregnant with twins

-Those who already have migraine or motion sickness

-Women who feel excessive stress or fatigue

-Women having such history in the family

Advice- Sometimes a woman vomits excessively, this is called hyperemesis gravidarum. In such a situation, it is important to immediately consult a doctor.
