Question

why do you get morning sickness when you are pregnant?? just wondering...its odd...

Answer 1

-An increase in the circulating level of the hormone estrogen
-Low blood sugar during pregnancy
-An increase in human chorionic gonadotropin.
-An increase in sensitivity to odors.
-Eating vegetables.
-Intake of alcohol, sugar, oils and meat, which have been postulated to cause a natural trigger of morning sickness in the body as a way of discouraging ingestion of less healthy foods.[1]

Answer 2

Copied and pasted :)

The problem is, we really don't know. Morning sickness (also called "nausea and vomiting of pregnancy," or NVP, since it doesn't always strike in the morning) affects between 50 and 85 percent of all new mothers.

Some of the suggested reasons:

An increase in the hormone progesterone relaxes the uterine muscles, which prevents early labor... but may also relax the stomach and intestines, leading to excess stomach acids.

A buildup in hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) may be the culprit, in which case things will settle back to normal after the 12th week of pregnancy and hCG levels decrease.

An increase in sensitivity to odors, meaning that you're smelling some new scents you never could before, and they ain't pretty.

Eating vegetables. Margie Profet theorized in her book Pregnancy Sickness: Using Your Body's Natural Defenses to Protect Your Baby-To-Be (1997) that the small amounts of toxins vegetables produce to fight off insects are normally harmless to humans but extremely dangerous to embryos; therefore, becoming nauseous during pregnancy was an evolutionary step towards protecting the fetus. Eat bland foods and you eat less toxins; thus, women suffering from NVP were less likely have children with birth defects. On the other hand, Judith Brown, a nutritionist at the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health, has linked consumption of fruits and vegetables to higher birth weights, and higher birth weights tend to mean healthier babies. So there's no clear consensus on whether eating vegetables is good or bad.

Answer 3

Not everyone gets morning sickness, but it is believed to be caused by the extra hormones. The old wive's tale says that if a woman has extremely bad morning sickness that she is going to have a girl because of her own hormones and the baby girl's hormones, but I only had slight queasyness twice after eating salad when I was pregnant with my daughter and only had it a couple of times with my son too. Everyone is different.

Answer 4

What causes nausea during pregnancy?

The actual causes of nausea and vomiting are still not known. It is probably brought about by the hormonal changes taking place or by an imbalance in blood sugar.

Many midwives and doctors believe that morning sickness is more common in women carrying twins or triplets, but it is not clear whether this is the case.

Good Luck to you!!

Answer 5

It's because of the changes (increase) of hormones going through your system preparing for the baby. Any change in hormone levels can make a person sick or do other things to them. That's why some women tend to break out during their period or get headaches when starting or ending the pill. The increase makes most women sick to their stomach's.

Answer 6

It's the increase of certain hormones in your body that cause the nausea...some women believe it or not are lucky and never experience it while others are so stricken with it they literally can't leave the house...Luckily I only had a mild case of it.

Answer 7

Actually it is because of the change in hormones in your body.
