What causes motion sickness in pregnant women?

Many female friends will experience a lot of discomfort after pregnancy, such as nausea and vomiting. This phenomenon is a symptom that most women will experience after pregnancy. However, there are some people around us who did not suffer from motion sickness before pregnancy, but will experience motion sickness when doing things after pregnancy. So what causes women to get carsick after pregnancy? Today, I will explain it to you!

1. External factors

Usually when the incoming balance stimulation is too strong, such as sudden braking or violent rotation, people will feel dizzy even when the balance system is in a safe and normal state. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. But some people have poor tolerance and react strongly to slight balance stimulation. At the same time, it is easy to get motion sickness when riding in a car if you have poor sleep or are overly tired.

In addition, motion sickness is prone to occur when one is too hungry or too full before riding. When the carriage is closed and the air is blocked, or when there is a stimulating smell of certain substances, such as gasoline, many people will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, pregnant women in summer should pay more attention to ventilation and rest in other public places to avoid motion sickness.

2. Internal factors

Generally speaking, internal factors mainly refer to individual sensitivity and psychological quality. For example, some people are particularly sensitive to some things, such as the smell of smoke or various mixed gases in the car. Some people will feel dizzy when they smell it. In addition, some people may have experienced bad things while riding in a car, and they are particularly sensitive to cars. They may even be psychologically afraid when the word "car" is mentioned, which increases their psychological burden.
