Persistent Vomiting in Pregnancy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Persistent vomiting in pregnancy describes episodes of nausea and vomiting that go beyond the usual morning discomfort and that continue throughout the pregnancy. When they are intense and constant, they can make adequate nutrition and hydration difficult.
Which specialist is involved? Pregnancy care is handled by the professional who oversees the pregnancy; when there are digestive or nutritional implications, the gastroenterologist and the clinical dietitian may also take part.
Symptoms to watch for: Frequent vomiting, difficulty keeping food or fluids down, and a feeling of weakness deserve attention.
When to seek help? If the vomiting prevents you from eating or drinking normally during pregnancy, the prudent course is to discuss it soon with a professional, who will assess the situation on an individual and safe basis.
