Why do I want to vomit but can't

For most expectant mothers, pregnancy is a special period. This period is the happiest stage for women. At the same time, women also need to face various emergencies and difficult problems. For example, morning sickness usually manifests as wanting to vomit but being unable to vomit, which is very uncomfortable. So what is going on? How should pregnant women relieve nausea after experiencing this symptom?

After a woman becomes pregnant, some hormones in her body increase, which can easily lead to nausea and vomiting, and can also affect some abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract. Sometimes pregnant women want to vomit but cannot, but many people don’t know how to alleviate this situation.

1. Reasons why pregnant women want to vomit but can’t:

1. Generally speaking, in the early stages of pregnancy, because the embryo is small and grows slowly, it requires little nutrition. Mild pregnancy reactions have little effect on both the pregnant woman and the fetus. However, severe pregnancy reactions last for a relatively long time and may have adverse effects on the health of the pregnant woman and the growth and development of the fetus.

2. As the fetus grows, it needs more and more nutrition, and severe pregnancy reactions will prevent pregnant women from taking in enough nutrition. The mother can only use the protein, fat, etc. stored in her body to supplement the needs of the fetus, resulting in weight loss, emaciation, and reduced resistance. If the reaction is particularly severe, it may threaten the lives of pregnant women and fetuses due to dehydration or acidosis.

2. Ways to relieve pregnant women who want to vomit but can’t:

1. Mild nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in early pregnancy. Eating small meals frequently and taking vitamin B6 can often relieve the symptoms.

2. Patients with hyperemesis gravidarum should be hospitalized and fast for 2 to 3 days. The amount of water loss and electrolyte imbalance should be determined based on test results, and calories, water and electrolytes should be supplemented as appropriate. Most pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum improve after treatment and can continue their pregnancy. If conventional treatment is ineffective and persistent jaundice, persistent proteinuria, elevated body temperature above 38°C, tachycardia (≥120 beats/min), and Wernicke's syndrome occur, which endanger the life of the pregnant woman, termination of pregnancy should be considered.

How can pregnant women relieve nausea and vomiting? Through the above introduction, we know the relevant information about pregnancy care. Pregnant women often encounter some conditions in life, so we must take them to the hospital for diagnosis of the disease to prevent the disease from harming the pregnant woman and the fetus.
