Causes Of Morning Sickness

Do you experience nausea and vomiting during the early stages of your pregnancy? If you have, this is what we call “morning sickness”. Morning sickness typically appears in the earlier part of the day (morning), hence the term “morning sickness”, however, for some cases, it might happen also at anytime of the day.

The exact cause of morning sickness is unknown. However, proximate causes of morning sickness include:
  • An increase in level of hormone estrogen.
  • Low blood sugar. The placenta drains energy from the mother, though studies have not confirmed this.
  • An increase in level of progesterone. Progesterone has a relaxing effect on the muscles of body, in this case, the uterus, which prevents early childbirth. However, it will have same effects on other muscles, such as the intestines and stomach, leading to excessive stomach acids.
  • The build up of HCG (human chorionic gonadotopin). HCG is produced after implantation and increase continually until about the 12th week of pregnancy, where at this point it will start to decrease. This is when your morning sickness might start to decrease as well.
  • An increase in sensitivity to odors.
Morning sickness can be difficult to deal with, but according to a recent research, mothers that experience morning sickness have a lower tendency of miscarriage. Therefore, we should think positively and who knows – this might help to reduce your morning sickness!
