During her online presentation «Modern Approaches to Correcting Early Toxemia in Pregnant Women», obstetrician-gynecologist Yulia Davydova, MD, spoke about the occurrence of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women, what to do in such conditions, and the research that has shown the effectiveness of drinking «AQUA Myrgorod» DETOX mineral naturally therapeutic sodium chloride table water to reduce or eliminate nausea and vomiting and improve food absorption.

90% of pregnant women suffer from nausea and vomiting

First, let's talk about two types of toxicosis in pregnant women. According to Yulia Davydova, there is no term «early toxicosis» in the English-language literature, but there is a division into two conditions:

• nausea and vomiting (symptoms peak at about 9 weeks, and the condition improves at 16-18 weeks. In 15-20% of pregnant women, the symptoms continue even in the third trimester, and in 5% of pregnant women — until childbirth);
• hyperemesis of pregnant women (excessive vomiting). In 0.5-2% of women, pregnancy hyperemesis is recorded, often accompanied by persistent nausea, vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, and lowered blood pressure. In turn, this leads to hospitalization. This condition causes an increased and long-term risk of miscarriage and premature birth.

At the same time, in 90% of pregnant women, the condition is accompanied by nausea and vomiting, but does not pose a direct threat to health and life.
