Morning sickness, is it a boy or a girl?

Morning sickness is a normal physiological need of pregnant women during pregnancy. Pregnant women may experience dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, physical fatigue and other pregnancy reactions, the most obvious of which is vomiting. On the other hand, morning sickness is actually an instinctive reaction of the fetus's defense consciousness. When the fetus is in the uterus, if it encounters harmful substances, it will secrete a lot of growth hormone to increase the sensitivity of the pregnant mother's sense of smell and respiratory center during pregnancy, so as to avoid toxins to the greatest extent and ensure its own development. Therefore, morning sickness is not only not likely to affect the growth and development of the fetus, but it means that the fetus is healthier.

Morning sickness means it's a boy or a girl?

Generally speaking, the gender of the fetus cannot be determined from the morning sickness of pregnant women, because it is caused by the change of female hormones after pregnancy and has nothing to do with the gender of the baby.

There is no regularity in the time of morning sickness. Although more people experience morning sickness in the morning, pregnant women who experience morning sickness at night don't have to worry about it. It is a normal reaction.

Generally, obvious early pregnancy reactions will appear around 6 weeks of pregnancy, usually with morning sickness being relatively obvious. This is caused by changes in growth hormones and will reach its peak around 8 weeks of pregnancy. Those with severe symptoms need to be treated with vitamin supplements. If severe vomiting during pregnancy occurs, intravenous drip supplements are required. Avoid eating during this period, and wait until the severe pain of pregnancy is relieved before slowly eating semi-liquid food and then returning to a normal diet. During this period, electrolyte solutions and urine ketone bodies need to be tested regularly.

Some expectant mothers may worry: Will the obvious morning sickness cause miscarriage?

At present, there seems to be no scientific research to prove that morning sickness affects the growth and development of the fetus or even causes miscarriage. On the contrary, some surveys show that the more severe the morning sickness and pregnancy reaction in early pregnancy, the smaller the possibility of miscarriage.

If the expectant mother has symptoms of vomiting blood at the same time as morning sickness, she needs to be highly alert. In this case, the gastric mucosa may be damaged. She needs to go to the hospital for a urine test immediately to check whether the pregnant mother's metabolism is normal. If it is abnormal, she needs to be hospitalized immediately.
