According to Specialist Doctor I Pham Thi Yen - Vinmec Hai Phong, morning sickness during pregnancy is a condition in which pregnant women often feel sleepy and want to sleep anywhere, at any time of the day.
Sleep apnea is common in the first 3 months of pregnancy, making pregnant women often tired and want to sleep everywhere. It may take 10-12 hours of sleep per day to reach peak mental state.
The cause of morning sickness can be due to hormonal changes during pregnancy. Specifically, high levels of progesterone and beta HCG in the blood cause pregnant women to have morning sickness. When entering the last 3 months of pregnancy, the feeling of anxiety when giving birth will make pregnant women stressed, tired, leading to insomnia at night and craving for sleep during the day.
Specialist doctor Pham Thi Yen said that morning sickness is a normal physiological phenomenon during pregnancy, it is not related to the sex of the fetus. Therefore, the idea that morning sickness is a sign of morning sickness in boys or signs of morning sickness in girls is completely incorrect. Pregnant women who want to know for sure whether it's a boy or a girl should have a routine antenatal check-up, ultrasound, or genetic testing.
Pregnant women with morning sickness in the first 3 months are usually not too serious. However, because sleeping spends a lot of time in bed, exercise is limited, increasing the risk of postpartum osteoporosis. Pregnant women lying in bed a lot will make the body tired, inflexible and more dangerous can cause venous thrombosis into the lungs, leading to pulmonary embolism.
Sleep deprivation in the last 3 months of pregnancy has more risks and risks. According to some studies, pregnant women who sleep for more than 9 hours and do not wake up often have a higher risk of stillbirth. To limit the risks of morning sickness, pregnant women should set an alarm before going to bed, and after waking up, they should move for 5-10 minutes each time.
