“Most women experience some nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) or morning sickness in the first trimester. NVP is often the sign of a healthy pregnancy, caused by increasing and new hormones being produced in her body, but it can also be horrible for the woman experiencing it. In severe situations, I have seen women vomit bile and be admitted to the hospital for rehydration and electrolytes. For some women NVP can last until the baby is born. People worry about the effects of NVP on the baby, but babies seem to fare well, and there is research showing that children of mothers with NVP have high intelligence!”
