Nausea of pregnancy is very common, we know that most women have them at some time and about a third have vomiting. But not everything is negative in these dreaded pregnancy partners.
Probably the pregnancy hormone (human chorionic gonadotropin), estrogen and progesterone are responsible for these nausea which produces the rejection of certain flavors and smells. Together with these hormonal changes, low blood sugar levels are noted as a possible reason in early pregnancy.
There are other reasons that can make the nausea worse, and I attest to it, that I suffered much more during work time than on vacation: stress, travel or some food can aggravate the problem.
It is also pointed out that nausea would be a kind of "warning" to certain foods or substances that could be harmful to pregnancy. And, although the nausea is different in each woman, here we would have the explanation, for example, to nausea due to coffee smell or tobacco, or to foods with excess fat ...
In this sense, we say that nausea is good for the mother and the baby, and there are also studies that point out that women who experience nausea during pregnancy are less likely to abort than others who do not suffer from it.
One of my biggest fears before getting pregnant was not being able to avoid smoking, at a time when I did it too often. Fortunately, one of my first pregnancy symptoms was the aversion to the smell of tobacco, to the point of making it difficult for me to enter a room where there was smoke, and let's not talk about the smell of tobacco on clothes.
So he was seen and not seen, and throughout the pregnancy I was not tempted to take a cigarette, even though the nausea finally disappeared. No doubt the nausea was a great help in this regard, although it is also true that the figures indicate that not all pregnant women are the same: only 20% of women quit smoking during pregnancy.
Other consequences of nausea are less "explainable", as in my case the aversion to oranges, but luckily not everything that causes us nausea (surely every woman has a strange case of something that could not be approached during Pregnancy) is so healthy.
