RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, also referred to as morning sickness, affects more than 70% of all pregnancies. Symptoms range from mild to severe and, in some cases, can be debilitating, resulting in a reduced quality of life. Moreover, prenatal cannabis use prevalence has doubled in the United States, and cannabis potency, measured by the concentration of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabiniol, has increased from 10% in 2009 to 14% in 2019. State-level recreational legalization of cannabis may contribute to the liberalization of its use and reduced risk perception. Furthermore, the relatively recent discovery of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome may contribute to the mischaracterization of morning sickness in individuals who use cannabis during pregnancy. Although cannabis has well-documented antiemetic properties, there is insufficient research on the topic. Therefore, it is essential to establish a tangible understanding of the association between nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and prenatal cannabis use. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to estimate the degree to which nausea and vomiting of pregnancy might be associated with prenatal cannabis use in a sample of pregnant people in Michigan, a state where recreational cannabis use became legal in December 2018. STUDY DESIGN: This was a prospective study of participants from the Michigan Archive for Research on Child Health, a population-based pregnancy cohort that was recruited using a probability-based sampling approach. Participants were recruited from 22 prenatal clinics located throughout Michigan's lower peninsula. Cross-sectional analyses were performed for data available between October 2017 and January 2022. RESULTS: Among this sample of Michigan pregnant people, 14% (95% confidence interval, 11%-16%) reported cannabis use. Participants who experienced increasing morning sickness severity had higher odds of using cannabis (adjust odds ratio, 1.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-1.2). When the sample was restricted to first-trimester morning sickness and cannabis use, the results remained statistically robust. When the direction of the association was reversed, an increase in morning sickness severity was detected among participants who used cannabis during pregnancy (ßadjusted, 0.2; 95% confidence interval, 0.1-0.2). Lastly, the association between prepregnancy cannabis use and first-trimester morning sickness was investigated. Study findings suggest an increase in morning sickness severity among people who used cannabis in the 3 months before pregnancy compared with those who did not use cannabis (ßadjusted, 0.1; 95% confidence interval, 0.003-0.200). CONCLUSION: Study findings indicated a link between nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and prenatal cannabis use. Moreover, this study revealed that using cannabis in the 3 months before pregnancy is associated with first-trimester morning sickness severity. The strengths of our study contribute to the scant epidemiologic evidence in this area of research. More fine-grained, time-specific data on nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and prenatal cannabis use are necessary to draw inferences about cause-effect relationships. Our study might provide a basis to discourage cannabis use during pregnancy until more evidence is collected.

The possible correlation between nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and alexithymia were examined in this cross-sectional study. A cohort of pregnant women at the first trimester of pregnancy experiencing NVP were divided into three groups, according to severity (mild, moderate and severe) with the Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) test. The Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Scale (MOCQ) and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) were applied. Scores of scales were compared in all three groups, and the relationship between NVP severity and OCD and alexithymia was evaluated. On the 110 enrolled pregnant women, 42 had mild, 36 had moderate and 32 had severe NVP. Pregnant women with mild NVP had lower MOCQ scores than those with severe NVP (p = .010). Total scores of TAS-20 were higher among subjects with greater NVP severity (p < .001). PUQE scores were demonstrated significant correlations with MOCQ and total and subsection scores of the TAS-20, regardless of NVP groups. Study results showed that women with more pronounced OCD and/or alexithymia can experience somatic complaints, such as NVP, particularly intense in their first trimester of pregnancies. For this reason, psychotherapy in addition to medical treatments could be recommended to pregnant women with severe NVP.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? NVP is a condition experienced by most women, particularly in the first trimester of pregnancy, which can be affected by the psychosomatic condition of the pregnant woman.What do the results of this study add? The severity of nausea and vomiting according to PUQE test were significantly associated with OCD and alexithymia presence in pregnant women during their first trimester period.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? These findings might demonstrate the symptoms of NVP are correlated to OCD, as well as alexithymia. Longitudinal studies are required to demonstrate the clear causal relationship between NVP and psychiatric symptoms as in OCD and in alexithymia.

Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is the most common medical condition in pregnancy, affecting up to 80% of expectant women. Measuring the severity of the condition over time is important for management decisions, as well as for research into different therapeutic modalities. Twenty years ago we described and validated the Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis scale (PUQE), as a clinical and research tool. PUQE has become widely used for both ends, and has been incorporated in numerous practice guidelines worldwide. In this review we describe the inception of the tool, its rational, and its wide range of use worldwide.

Early in pregnancy women frequently experience nausea, vomiting, and vaginal bleeding. Nausea and vomiting can be mild, managed by dietary modifications and medications, or severe, requiring intravenous fluids and medications. Care should be used when selecting medications for nausea to avoid additional side effects or potential harm to the developing fetus. When evaluating vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy must be ruled out. If an intrauterine pregnancy is seen, threatened miscarriage should be considered and the patient appropriately counseled. If neither intrauterine pregnancy nor ectopic pregnancy can be established, a management algorithm for pregnancy of unknown location is presented.

OBJECTIVES: Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is frequent, affecting up to 70-85% of pregnant women. However, severity of NVP especially in clinical practice is often uncertainly assessed and thus both under- and overdiagnosing is probable. Furthermore, risk factors for NVP, although recognized, are not well established. The aim of our study was to evaluate the severity of NVP with a structured questionnaire and evaluate associative risk factors. STUDY DESIGN: Sample of 2411 women were recruited from maternity health care clinics. Severity of NVP was assessed with pregnancy-unique quantification of emesis (PUQE) questionnaire. Age, previous pregnancies, previous deliveries, previous miscarriages including ectopic pregnancies, previous pregnancy terminations, nationality, pre-pregnancy body mass index, smoking, marital status and employment were used as explanatory factors. RESULTS: Altogether 88.0% of the women reported some level of NVP, of which 6.4% was severe, 52.2% moderate and 29.4% mild. Daily duration of NVP was ≥ four hours in 12 h in 45.0%. Further, 18.8% of the women had vomiting episodes ≥ three times and 37.4% retching episodes ≥ three times in 12 h. Women with ≥ two previous pregnancies had increased risk for more severe NVP (OR 2.17, 95%CI; 1.34-3.51, p < 0.0001). Older women had increased daily duration of nausea (OR 1.03, 95%CI; 1.00-1.06, p = 0.004) but lower number of vomits (OR 0.93, 95%CI; 0.93-0.97, p < 0.0001) and lower number of retching (OR 0.93, 95%CI; 0.90-0.96, pâ¯<â¯0.0001). Smokers had shorter daily duration of nausea (OR 0.49, 95%CI; 0.33-0.73, pâ¯<â¯0.0001), but higher number of vomiting episodes compared to non-smokers (OR 1.83, 95%CI; 1.26-2.66, pâ¯=â¯0.021). CONCLUSIONS: Women suffered from NVP very frequently. The daily duration of NVP was moderately long, in nearly half of the women four hours or more. In addition, retching was more frequent than vomiting. From studied risk factors, few associations with different aspects of NVP emerged, but only multiparity was associated with the severity of NVP. As NVP affects several women during pregnancy, in future, the impact of NVP on quality of life, future family planning and health costs should be evaluated.

Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is a common condition that affects the health of a pregnant woman and her fetus. It can diminish a woman's quality of life and also significantly contributes to health care costs and time lost from work (1, 2). Because morning sickness is common in early pregnancy, the presence of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy may be minimized by obstetricians, other obstetric care providers, and pregnant women and, thus, undertreated (1). Furthermore, some women do not seek treatment because of concerns about the safety of medications (3). Once nausea and vomiting of pregnancy progresses, it can become more difficult to control symptoms. Treatment in the early stages may prevent more serious complications, including hospitalization (4). Safe and effective treatments are available for more severe cases, and mild cases of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy may be resolved with lifestyle and dietary changes. The woman's perception of the severity of her symptoms plays a critical role in the decision of whether, when, and how to treat nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy should be distinguished from nausea and vomiting related to other causes. The purpose of this document is to review the best available evidence about the diagnosis and management of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy.

Maternal thyroid pathology takes important role in obstetric and peri-neonatal morbidity structure. Despite of the number of studies conducted in the field of thyroid disorders of pregnant females, the definition of influence of thyroid gland dysfunction on maternal and neonatal health still remains actual. The mentioned topics draw specific interest in the aspect of prognosticaiton of complications and unfavorable outcome. Aim of the study - to define the specificities of gestation period and determine the prognostic risk of obstetric and perinatal complications in pregnant females with thyroid pathology. The study was performed at the base of "David Gagua Clinic" Ltd. Prospective, open controlled study design was applied. Based upon the referral to the clinic, 292 pregnant females with thyroid pathology were involved in the main group. The control group involved 58 conditionally healthy pregnant females of reproductive age. Thyroid status had been monitored accoding to trimesters during the whole period of prgnancy and 1 month following the delivery. The health state of neonates was assessed by international protocols. To define the confidence interval for relative ratio between quantitative data of compared groups, c2 , P and RR indices were calculated, and its critical level was considered to be 0.05. The risks ratio with defining of the data was determined for obstetric and perinatal complications. 120 (41.4%) of pregnant subjects demonstrated hypothyroidism, 104 (35.6%) - isolated hypothyroxinmia, and 13 (4.5%) - hyperthyroidism. High levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies were observed in 54 (18.5%) of cases, nodular gout was found in 38 (13%) patients, 5 (12.3%) of which was associated with hypothyroidism and 9 (23%) - with isolated hypothyroxinemia. Correcting treatment was administered to all pregnant subjects during the pregnancy period. Based on the analysis of acquired data, the high probability of prengancy-related nausea/vomiting and iron-deficiency anemia was demonstrated in the population of pregnant females with thyroid pathology, especially in those with hypothyroidism and isolated hypothyroxinemia. The prognostic risk of early spontaneous abortion, premature delivery and obstetric surgical interventions was statistically significant in pregnant females with hypothyroidism. The relative ratio for low neonatal weight, maternal iron deficiency anemia in postpartum period, abnormal weight gain and chronic lower limb venous disorders were high in the aspect of perinatal outcomes. Thus, despite of timely diagnosis and adequate treatment, thyroid pathology revealed in the gestational period is related with particular risk for development of obstetric and perinatal complications, which indicates on absolute necessity of pregravid preparation and achievement of euthyroid state at preliminary stage of pregnancy planning.

Nausea and vomiting is the common problem disturbing almost 80% of the females in initial three months of conception and later sometime throughout pregnancy. To find out the efficacy and safety of herbal coded test drug Gingocap in comparison with the control drug Pyridoxine, a randomized clinical case control study was conducted at the OPD of Yusra Medical Centre, Karachi and Amir Habib Medical Center and Maternity Home, Karachi. After administration of test and control drug the frequency of nausea and vomiting was noted after every 2 weeks on 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks during 60 days of the course of study. The percentage of reduction of nausea and vomiting symptoms from the baseline in cases treated with test Gingocap compared to control drug Pyridoxine was recorded. Overall 35 and 30 patients were administered Gingocap and Pyridoxine between 6-16 weeks conception respectively. The data analyzed through T-test using SPSS version 18.0. It was concluded that Gingocap has the potential to relieve the symptoms of nausea and vomiting and exhibited no side effects and this drug was acceptable by maximum number of the patients.

OBJECTIVE: To examine day care treatment of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy compared with the traditional inpatient management of this condition. METHODS: We conducted an open-label, single-center, randomized controlled trial to examine the differences between day care and inpatient management of pregnant women with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Primary outcome was total number of inpatient nights related to nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. RESULTS: Ninety-eight women were randomized to initial day care management (n=42) or inpatient management (n=56). Results are calculated from the time of randomization until resolution of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Women randomized to inpatient care experienced a median (interquartile range) of 2 (1-4) inpatient days compared with 0 (0-2) inpatient days for women randomized to day care (P<.001). Women randomized to initial treatment as an inpatient had significantly more median total number of inpatient admissions (one [1-2] compared with zero [0-1] admissions; P<.001) compared with women randomized to day care. No significant differences were observed in day care visits (median [interquartile range] one [1-4] compared with two [1-4]; P=.30). Women randomized to inpatient care were as satisfied with their care as those randomized to day care (median [interquartile range]: 67 [57-69] compared with 63 [58-71] Client Satisfaction Questionnaire score; P=.7). CONCLUSION: Day care treatment of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy reduced hospital inpatient stay and was acceptable to patients.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether ondansetron or the combination of doxylamine and pyridoxine was superior for the treatment of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. METHODS: This was a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial in which women with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy were assigned to 4 mg of ondansetron plus a placebo tablet or 25 mg pyridoxine plus 12.5 mg of doxylamine for 5 days. The primary outcome was an improvement in nausea as reported on a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes were a reduction in vomiting on the VAS and the proportion of patients reporting sedation or constipation while using either study regimen. RESULTS: Thirty-six women (18 in each group) were randomized to either ondansetron or pyridoxine and doxylamine, of whom 13 (72%) and 17 (94%) completed follow-up, respectively. There were no differences among the groups with regard to demographic characteristics or baseline nausea. Patients randomized to ondansetron were more likely to have an improvement in their baseline nausea as compared with those using pyridoxine and doxylamine over the course of 5 days of treatment (median VAS score decreased 51 mm [interquartile range 37-64] compared with 20 mm [8-51]; P=.019). Furthermore, women using ondansetron reported less vomiting (median VAS decreased 41 [interquartile range 17-57] compared with 17 [-4 to 38]; P=.049). There was no significant difference between the groups regarding sedation or constipation. CONCLUSION: Our investigation showed ondansetron to be superior to the combination of pyridoxine and doxylamine in the treatment of nausea and emesis in pregnancy.

Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) affects up to 85% of pregnant women, with varying degrees of severity. The most severe form of NVP, known as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), affects up to 2% of pregnancies. Women who have suffered with severe NVP/HG in a previous pregnancy have a 75-85% recurrence rate. Both patients and physicians often fear the use of pharmacological therapies during pregnancy due to the concerns of potential risks to the fetus. The symptoms and impact of NVP and HG can vary greatly among women, therefore treatment must be tailored to the individual. Updated Motherisk guidelines are presented.

Entre los simples vómitos gestacionales y la HG existe una multitud de cuadros con grados de intensidad intermedios, sin que se observen claras diferencias etiopatogénicas. Las náuseas y vómitos de la gestación (NVG) son una situación fisiológica frecuente en la embarazada. Suelen ser esporádicos, preferentemente matutinos, con capacidad de alterar la calidad de vida de la gestante pero sin repercusión en su estado metabólico. Cuando el cuadro se agrava presentando vómitos continuos e intensos que imposibilitan la correcta alimentación de la gestante nos encontramos ante una hiperemesis gravídica (HG), que puede llevar a un cuadro de deshidratación, deficiencias nutricionales y alteración metabólica, requiriendo en muchas ocasiones tratamiento hospitalario para corregir las alteraciones hidroelectrolíticas presentes y múltiples complicaciones tanto digestivas como neurológicas(AU)
Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy is a common physiological condition in pregnant women. It is usually sporadic, often in the morning, which can affect the quality of life of the pregnant woman without any change in her metabolic state. When the condition is aggravated, with continuous and intense vomiting which makes it impossible to follow a correct diet, we are faced with a hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) which can lead to dehydration, nutritional deficiencies and metabolic changes. On many occasions this may require hospital treatment to correct the water and electrolyte changes and the multiple digestive tract and neurological complications. There is a multitude of conditions between simple gestational vomiting and HG with intermediate levels of intensity, without any clear differences in pathological origin(AU)
