Persistent Nausea in Pregnancy

Intense nausea and vomiting that persist during pregnancy go beyond the usual morning discomfort and can affect the eating and hydration of the pregnant person. When they are very marked, they are known as hyperemesis gravidarum.

Common symptoms: Continuous nausea, repeated vomiting, difficulty keeping down food or liquids, and a feeling of weakness.

When should you see a doctor? If it isn't possible to keep down fluids, there is weight loss, intense dizziness, or very scant urine, it is important to seek care without delay.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who follows the pregnancy and evaluates these situations, and the general practitioner can guide the first contact. Discussing this discomfort in time with your trusted professional helps protect your well-being and that of the baby.
