Why during pregnancy time vomits happen... |
|
Answer» Answer: vomiting in pregnancy might be due to the effects of human CHORIONIC gonadotropin (HCG). Pregnant women begin PRODUCING HCG shortly after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. Women with severe morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum) have higher HCG levels than other pregnant women do. In addition, women pregnant with MULTIPLES, who are more likely to experience morning sickness, also have higher HCG levels. SIMILARLY, estrogen, another HORMONE that increases during pregnancy, is associated with an increase in the severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. |
