Early pregnancy response

In early pregnancy (about six weeks after menopause), the amount of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in pregnant women increases, gastric acid secretion decreases, and gastric emptying time prolongs, resulting in dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, acidic food or aversion to greasy, nausea, morning sickness. A series of reactions such as vomiting are collectively referred to as early pregnancy reactions. These symptoms generally do not require special treatment. After the 12th week of pregnancy, as the HCG level in the body decreases, the symptoms mostly disappear and the appetite returns to normal. However, it is important to remind pregnant women that not all vomiting is an early pregnancy reaction.
