If a pregnant woman vomits a lot during pregnancy, she should consult a specialist, as this may be hyperemesis gravidarum.
Hyperemesis gravidarum can affect the mother's health and that of the baby, as the woman may lose weight, become dehydrated and suffer alterations in the electrolyte balance of the body's salts. In addition, the lack of nutrients and vitamins can lead to other serious complications.
For the baby, hyperemesis gravidarum can lead to premature delivery or low birth weight.
In addition, it should not be forgotten how the quality of life of the pregnant woman is affected.
