Will you have anorexia during early pregnancy?

For many female friends, it is easy to experience a lot of discomfort in the early stages of pregnancy, especially their daily diet, which will change a lot. So, will you experience anorexia in early pregnancy? In fact, you will not necessarily suffer from anorexia in the early stages of pregnancy, but some pregnant women may experience nausea, vomiting, etc. due to pregnancy reactions. These uncomfortable symptoms can easily cause loss of appetite in pregnant women.

Pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy have very severe pregnancy reactions, and more than 60% of pregnant women have experienced vomiting after getting up in the morning. Sudden nausea and vomiting make expectant mothers look a little embarrassed. Most women will experience nausea and vomiting when they are more than 6 weeks pregnant, causing some expectant mothers to lose their appetite, anorexia and some common early pregnancy symptoms. At the same time, a few people have obvious symptoms. They vomit whatever they eat, and they will vomit even if they don’t eat. The vomiting is not limited to the morning. Moreover, their sense of smell is particularly sensitive, and smelling disgusting odors will cause vomiting. They will also have strong early pregnancy symptoms such as anorexia and metabolic disorders. Of course, such situations require timely medical treatment and hospitalization if necessary.

Will anorexia and vomiting affect the fetus? How big is the impact? Almost all pregnant women have this worry. During this period, the pregnant woman's placenta secretes a substance called chorionic gonadotropin. This substance can inhibit the secretion of gastric juice, significantly reducing the amount of gastric juice, which greatly reduces the activity of digestive enzymes in the body, affecting the normal digestion and absorption function of pregnant women, causing nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and loss of appetite. Generally, mild anorexia and vomiting reactions in early pregnancy will not have a big impact on the fetus.

However, if the pregnant woman is weak and malnourished before pregnancy, and has severe anorexia and vomiting as early pregnancy reactions, she will experience symptoms such as emaciation and weight loss. This will not only affect the pregnant woman's own nutritional needs, but also directly affect the nutritional needs of the fetus, especially the intake of protein, folic acid and some trace elements, which will have an adverse effect on the development of the fetus.

According to statistics, among low-weight newborns, about 30 percent have mental and intellectual problems to varying degrees, and low-weight babies are eight times more likely to have congenital abnormalities than normal-weight babies.
