Hyperemesis Gravidarum Can Be Cured – Antai Hospital

Hyperemesis Gravidarum & Birth Defect

Up to 80% of all pregnant women experience some form of nausea and vomiting during their pregnancy. The International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, defines hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) as persistent and excessive vomiting starting before the end of the 22nd week of gestation and further subdivides the condition into mild and severe, with severe being associated with metabolic disturbances such as carbohydrate depletion, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalance.4 HG is a diagnosis of exclusion, characterised by prolonged and severe nausea and vomiting, dehydration, large ketonuria, and more than 5% body weight loss. However, it is known to occur far beyond week 22 of pregnancy and can continue till the onset of labour in severe cases. Affecting approximately 0.3%–2.0% of pregnancies, HG is the commonest indication for admission to hospital in the first half of pregnancy and is second only to preterm labour as a cause of hospitalisation during pregnancy.

HG is a multifactorial condition and has been associated with many risk factors.19 Women with HG are more likely to be younger, primiparous, persons of color, and less likely to drink alcohol. Body mass index, smoking, and socioeconomic status do not appear to differ significantly between women with HG and those without. Female infant sex has also been associated with HG. Paternal genes are not thought to play a role in the occurrence of HG. In contrast, maternal intergenerational effects have been observed, with increased odds of HG among women whose mothers also experienced HG during a previous pregnancy. Moreover, although recurrence rates are higher in women with HG, they are not 100%, indicating a multifactorial process rather than purely maternal genetics.

Hyperemesis Gravidarum May Harm The Pregnancy

Women who experience extreme morning sickness during pregnancy are three times more likely to have children with developmental deficits — including attention disorders and language and speech delays — than women who have “normal” nausea and vomiting, a study found. Previous studies have shown that HG is associated with low-birth-weight babies, small size for gestational age and preterm births. Studies showed previously that children born to mothers who had extreme morning sickness were 3.6 times more likely to have behavioral or emotional disorders as adults.
