study that examined 51,675 pregnant people in Norway, finding that those who experienced at least some nausea and vomiting during pregnancy hadodds of complications like hypertension and preeclampsia than their symptom-free counterparts, but lower odds of issues like preterm birth and low birth weight.
There are clearly a few intriguing potential links between morning sickness and maternal and fetal health, but science hasn’t determined anything definitive so far. It’s hard to prove cause and effect for any of these claims. The fact that so many people experience morning sickness makes it a tricky thing to study, Dr. Greves says.
Ultimately, the point is that there’s no medical reason to think morning sickness is automatically a “good” or “bad” thing. It’s just a thing that happens to many people while pregnant.“If you are not experiencing morning sickness, this does not mean theis unhealthy,” Dr. Quimper says. Experts don’t know why some people experience morning sickness and others don’t, but sailing through pregnancy without nausea and vomiting doesn’t automatically mean anything is wrong.
The only thing that can really be “wrong” when it comes to morning sickness is if you have hyperemesis gravidarum, because that means your nausea and vomiting are too severe. If you think you have hyperemesis gravidarum, you need to talk to your doctor about being especially on top of your health, nutrition, and hydration. First of all, it may help make you less miserable.
