Nausea and Vomiting During Early Pregnancy
Usually, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy do not cause weight loss or other problems, and they resolve before or during the 2nd trimester. Hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe, persistent form of pregnancy-related vomiting, is less common and can cause dehydration and weight loss. Nausea and vomiting may be due to disorders not related to pregnancy, such as gastroenteritis, a urinary tract infection, or, rarely, a blockage in the intestine. Modifying the diet may help relieve mild nausea and vomiting that are related to pregnancy. If women with hyperemesis gravidarum become dehydrated, they may need to be given fluids intravenously.
