We often see on TV or among our friends that people experience symptoms of retching and nausea after becoming pregnant. At this time, we also expect such symptoms after becoming pregnant.

As for how long it will take for pregnancy reactions to appear, it depends on each person's pregnancy symptoms.

How long does it take for vomiting to occur during pregnancy?

Pregnant women will have some early pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc. So, how long does it take for a pregnant woman to experience vomiting?

First of all, you need to know that everyone's pregnancy reaction is different, and the reaction time is also different. Some pregnant women do not vomit during the entire pregnancy, while others will vomit throughout the pregnancy.

Some people will begin to experience nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and other pregnancy symptoms from the fourth or fifth week of pregnancy, while for most pregnant women, the symptoms of pregnancy will become more obvious around six weeks. Generally, these pregnancy symptoms will gradually disappear by the twelfth week of pregnancy.

In fact, these pregnancy symptoms are a manifestation of pregnant women protecting the fetus in order to adapt to the new environment. Pregnant women do not need to be too nervous, because they will generally disappear after twelve weeks of pregnancy. Some pregnant women may have more serious symptoms. If they vomit to the point of dehydration, they need to go to the hospital for examination.

1. Basic Introduction

The combined effects of hormones and HCG cause pregnancy reactions in pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy. Each person will experience different physical changes in response to pregnancy depending on their physical fitness. In simple terms, different individuals will have different degrees of reaction. Symptoms of early pregnancy generally occur between 6 weeks after menstruation and 3 months of pregnancy.

Pregnancy reactions

Generally, about 6 weeks after the menstruation stops in the early stages of pregnancy, about half of pregnant women will feel dizzy, weak, tired, sleepy, and have a loss of appetite. Some people may also have pregnancy reactions such as abnormal appetite, picky eating, preference for sour taste and aversion to greasy food. Some people may also experience nausea and vomiting in the early morning and when the stomach is empty. They cannot smell greasy or other odors, otherwise vomiting will occur immediately. All these are physiological reactions of pregnancy.

Pregnancy reactions will generally disappear naturally around the 12th week of pregnancy. Although it is a physiological reaction and is still very uncomfortable, the above pregnancy reactions that occur during pregnancy generally do not affect health and do not require treatment.

However, there are also a few pregnant women who experience prolonged nausea, frequent vomiting, and even vomitus mixed with bile or blood, causing dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. At this time, pregnancy reactions develop into pathological conditions. Due to being in a state of hunger for a long time, the body uses adipose tissue to supply energy, resulting in the accumulation of ketone bodies, the intermediate products of fat metabolism, causing metabolic acidosis. The patient will experience obvious weight loss, thirst, dry skin and oral mucosa, decreased urine volume, and the appearance of ketone bodies in the urine.

If the disease continues to progress, liver and kidney function damage will occur, manifested as jaundice, elevated blood transaminases, increased blood urea nitrogen and creatinine, decreased urine volume, and even anuria, as well as the appearance of proteinuria and tubular urine.

If this happens, pregnant women should go to the hospital as soon as possible for adjustment and treatment, and replenish fluids and nutrition in time so as not to affect the normal development of the fetus. Clinically, some pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting from the fourth week of pregnancy until the late pregnancy. This type of pregnant woman does not need treatment as long as the symptoms are not severe, do not affect the body's metabolism, and the pregnancy reaction symptoms decrease as the pregnancy progresses.
