Why toxicosis does not go away at week 13. A detailed explanation of the problem of nausea, vomiting and toxicosis (early preeclampsia) during pregnancy: causes and effective treatment. How to get rid of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy

What if there is no nausea or vomiting during pregnancy?
Some studies show that women who experience nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy have a slightly lower risk of miscarriage or stillbirth than women who do not have these symptoms.
However, despite this, the absence of nausea and vomiting in a pregnant woman should be seen more as a stroke of luck than as a sign that something is wrong with the pregnancy.
Constant nausea and vomiting in the first months of pregnancy: toxemia of pregnancy
Nausea and frequent vomiting in the first 3-4 months of pregnancy is called early toxicosis.
Although pregnancy toxemia is very common, it is rarely so severe that a pregnant woman needs medical attention. This happens in about 0.5-2% of all pregnant women. The exact causes of toxicosis are not known.
| Severe toxicosis, without adequate treatment, can lead to significant dehydration and exhaustion of the body of a pregnant woman, rupture of the gastric mucosa, convulsions and even death, so if you encounter such a problem, consult a doctor immediately. To treat toxicosis, the doctor may prescribe special medications, as well as intravenous infusions (droppers) with nutrients. In the old days, early toxemia was one of the common causes of death of pregnant women in early pregnancy. At present, fortunately, death due to early toxicosis is extremely rare. Today, the leading cause of death for women in early pregnancy is . |
If you don't experience nausea and vomiting very often and you're coping well, check out our recommendations below.
Nausea + heartburn + stomach pain + frequent burping during pregnancy
A similar combination of symptoms is very often observed in pregnant women and is associated with a malfunction of the valve that blocks the transition from the stomach to the esophagus.
If you encounter a similar problem, carefully study our recommendations in the article. Evidence-Based Guide for Patients on Heartburn and Stomach Pain.
Other causes of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. When should you see a doctor?
The likelihood that nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is not related to the pregnancy itself is greatest if:
If you suspect that in your case, nausea and vomiting have nothing to do with pregnancy, or notice the above signs, be sure to consult a doctor. |
How to get rid of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy?
In cases where nausea and vomiting in a pregnant woman is not associated with pregnancy complications or other diseases, it is possible to weaken or completely eliminate them as follows:
Diet
- Eat as soon as you feel hungry, regardless of the time and daily routine.
- Try to eat less food at a time, but eat more often.
- Don't follow the principle a pregnant woman should eat for two"! Pregnant women should receive only 450 kcal. per day more than ordinary women (450 kcal is, for example, 100 grams of biscuits, 100 grams of cheese, 200 grams of potatoes, etc.).
- Try to eat as little spicy, fatty or strong-smelling foods as possible.
- Avoid contact with foods that you do not tolerate well during pregnancy.
- Talk to your doctor about stopping your iron supplements and starting a multivitamin/mineral supplement designed specifically for pregnant women. Iron supplements often cause severe nausea and constipation.
- For breakfast, a small sandwich with cheese or lean meat, but without butter, is best.
- Between meals, try to drink sugary drinks (such as fruit tea with sugar), but do not drink immediately after meals or with meals.
Mode of work and rest
Watch for situations where your nausea and vomiting get worse and try to spend more time in these situations (eg, walking, light sports, housework, rest).
Medicines for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy
Special medicines for vomiting are used only in cases where all other means do not help, as well as with severe toxicosis.
Of all antiemetic drugs, the most effective and safe during pregnancy are demonstrated by: Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), odinansetron, promethazine, metoclopromide, meclizine, diphenhydramine.
Be sure to check with your doctor before you start taking any of these medicines.

Gunay asks:
Hello, it’s hard for me to talk about it now, but a week ago, at 17 weeks of pregnancy, I had a miscarriage. 2 days before that, I had a blood test for an Rh factor (I have a negative blood type and my husband has a positive one, I have a daughter, She is 3 She also has a positive blood type for a year, but after the first birth, I was injected against the Rh conflict) and urinalysis. Everything was super. On the ultrasound they said that a very healthy child (boy) and this is the best sonographer in our country. 4 days before the miscarriage, I had cramping pains and then there was a brown daub. The day of the miscarriage I went to the toilet I was in pain and suddenly water gushed out. We called in an ambulance and defeated me in the maternity hospital there was no blood yet. They didn’t put in a system with antibiotics and then the blood started flowing, the gynecologist checked with her hand and said that the child was already leaving, told me to get up and when I got up the child came out, he was alive and his heart was beating. The gynecologist cut off the umbilical cord ((. We analyzed the abortion material for infections and the Mycoplasma hominis infection came out. The histological analysis is not ready yet. During pregnancy, I took Duphaston 2 tablets, Magne B6 three tablets, vominor from toxicosis and folic acid. How can I find out what caused the miscarriage? When should I plan a new pregnancy? Could mycoplasma hominis cause a miscarriage? What should I do next?
Responsible Palyga Igor Evgenievich:
Hello Gunay! Why didn't you go to the hospital during these four days of cramping pains? I do not think that the presence of Mycoplasma hominis could provoke premature birth at that time. It is rational for you to wait for the conclusion of histology and it will allow you to finally determine the cause of such an unpleasant situation. When registering, did you take a blood test for the presence of anti-Rhesus antibodies? The reason may be in the Rhesus conflict. It is recommended to plan the next pregnancy not earlier than in 6 months.

Irina asks:
Hello! My ultrasound is 9 weeks and my period is 12 weeks. The first pregnancy after infertility. The last menstruation was November 11-16, 2015. There were lingering pains in the lower abdomen, they were admitted to the hospital for preservation, magnesia was dripped for 4 days. Then they did an ultrasound (an inexperienced specialist, as I found out later) and they said that I was frozen, I immediately went to a paid clinic, they did an ultrasound and everything is fine, the fetus is alive. I went to bed to stay at home, suppositories with papaverine for 20 nights, drink duphaston for up to 22 weeks. After 2 weeks my pain was gone. I am worried that my toxicosis has passed, my chest has become painful just a little bit, there are no symptoms. This is fine? Is my child alive? And I’m also very nervous, to the point of shaking sometimes and tears sobbing, it’s not always possible to control myself. Where can my nerves lead? And how to avoid the consequences, what kind of sedative you can. And I also have a concomitant disease of thyrotoxicosis and DTZ, I drink propicil for about a week. What are the consequences for a child with such a disease. I have been waiting for this child for 20 years and I really want to become a mother of a healthy baby. Thanks in advance for your replies.
Responsible Gerevich Yuri Iosifovich:
Hello. You should be observed jointly by a gynecologist and an endocrinologist. I won’t tell you anything new except what they told you (should tell you), you have a high-risk pregnancy - age, thyretoxicosis, possibly pregnancy as a result of ART. Thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy is dangerous, so treatment is also necessary, it is also associated with certain risks, but they are much less than in its (treatment) absence. Your psychological condition due to thyrotoxicosis, treatment should help, the state of the embryo can be clarified only by ultrasound at that time.

Aigul asks:
Hello! From the 8th to the 11th week of pregnancy I take somnol, because I can’t sleep at night due to a strong gsholoda. I can’t eat because of toxicosis.
Responsible Wild Nadezhda Ivanovna:
In studies of somnol (zopiclone) in animals, no direct or indirect undesirable effects on the fetus were recorded (it must be borne in mind that the results obtained in animal studies do not always correlate with those in humans). There is insufficient clinical experience to prescribe zopiclone in the first trimester of pregnancy. In the second and third thirds of pregnancy, zopiclone can lead to a change in fetal heart rate and a decrease in movement activity. When using excessive doses of the drug Somnol in the second half of pregnancy in newborns, reversible respiratory depression, hypothermia, apnea, as well as the development of a withdrawal syndrome (with characteristic anxiety, tremor and increased excitability) are possible. The appointment of Somnol tablets during pregnancy is prohibited. Patients of reproductive age should be warned about the negative effects of zopiclone. When planning pregnancy or suspecting it, you should contact a specialist to correct therapy. If you have toxicosis of pregnant women, seek medical help from an obstetrician-gynecologist at a antenatal clinic, do not self-medicate, because this can lead to disastrous results .... Somnol is strictly prohibited during pregnancy.

Natalia asks:
Good afternoon ... My name is Natalia, I have the following situation .. On July 4, 2015, I was bitten by a tick on my leg, just above the bone, found it 12 hours after the bite, took it out completely, there was no inflammation at the site of the bite ... The whole situation is complicated by the fact that I was 8 weeks pregnant ... Naturally, the general practitioner and the infectious disease specialist said that nothing needs to be done yet, but to donate blood after 20 days ... I donated blood after 16 days, the analysis was negative . I didn’t have any symptoms - no headache, no temperature, no withdrawal symptoms, current toxicosis itself. In September, I began to notice that on the leg where the bite was, redness appears and disappears, which itches, I donated blood again and Ig G was sown \u003d 0.38 units - positive, and Ig M - 0.02 units - negative. The doctors again told me not to do anything yet, but to retake blood in a month. The whole situation is complicated by the fact that I am pregnant .... Please tell me, because no one really tells me, these bodies can cross the placenta or not? What is it all about? Thanks
Responsible Yanchenko Vitaly Igorevich:
Unfortunately, this issue during pregnancy has been little studied. I can say that the ELISA is not enough, you need to do an immunoblot. Then go with him to the infectious disease specialist. It is he who should make a decision on your case and observe you together with a gynecologist.

Larissa asks:
Hello. At 7-8 weeks of pregnancy, meager brownish mucus began to come out, on the ultrasound they said everything is in order with the fetus, but there is a threat of miscarriage, they prescribed duphaston and magne b6 twice a day, in addition to elevit, which I take from a weekly delay in menstruation. I keep calm, I lie down almost all the time, also due to severe toxicosis ... the fifth pregnancy: abortion, childbirth, medical abortion, frozen in the tube - an operation with the removal of the tube and now, now the uterine is normal and now the threat ((two days I persist, there is no result yet, maybe the doctor's mistake? or am I in a hurry with the results? I'm afraid of ST! Thank you!
Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:
Hello Larisa! Brown discharge is not a cause for concern. Your treatment has been prescribed adequately and must be taken. Further, it is necessary to observe in dynamics, after 2-3 weeks to undergo a control ultrasound. From 7-8 weeks, the fetal heartbeat should already be clearly visualized.

Elina asks:
Good afternoon, dear experts. Since I live in a small urban-type settlement. remote from the district center. all hope is on you! At 12 weeks pregnant, I was informed of a regressive pregnancy of 8-9 weeks. Then they sent it for scraping, then they took the material for research, and a month later the answer came:
"NON-DEVELOPING UTERINE PREGNANCY WITH SCLEROTIC CHANGES IN THE PART OF THE VILLAS. ANGIOGENESIS DISTURBANCE. FOCAL PURULENT-NECROTIC DECIDUITIS. FROM THE MORPHOLOGICAL PICTURE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO SUGGEST ABOUT THE CHROMOSOMAL PATHOLOGY OF ITROPHOBLAST ON THE BACKGROUND OF ASCENDING POFI-INDICATION BACTERIAL." Of course, I didn't understand any of this. But I don’t have the opportunity to go to a consultation with geneticists. By the way, the first pregnancy took place with toxicosis of the 1st trimester, and then everything was just fine. Help to understand the results of the study, and what can be done in this situation. Yes, please notice. that a month before the last pregnancy, I drank a course of antibiotics amoxiclav. due to severe angina. And during pregnancy she had acute tracheitis.
Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:
Hello Elina! You have one healthy child, am I right? If yes, then donating karyotypes makes no sense. Most likely, we can conclude that the genetic pathology of the fetus, due to the negative influence environment. In this case, the mechanism of natural selection worked. I advise you to wait a while, and then plan your next pregnancy. If the fading repeats, then it is rational to be examined for APS.

Olga asks:
Hello, I have been living abroad for 10 years (hot climate), but I will urgently need to fly to Russia in January for 2 weeks, the gestation period is 10 weeks, back 12 weeks. Pregnancy proceeds normally, there is no toxicosis, for safety it is prescribed to drink duphaston in the morning and in the evening, 1 tablet for up to 13 weeks. In my case, can there be a threat or can I fly, my doctor did not answer anything specific to this question. I'm very worried about the sudden change in temperature, and the long flight, about 10 hours. Thank you
Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:
Hello Olga! The flight itself does not provide negative impact for the course of the pregnancy. Just after a certain period of time you need to get up and stretch your legs. A sharp change in climate is fraught with a cold, but not a threat of abortion.

Victoria asks:
Good afternoon! I am 30 weeks pregnant, once again I took a urine test and a lot of salts were found there, they said that this means that there is sand in the kidneys, the analysis says sugar-Sw., protein-Sw. leukocytes-805, salts-phosphorus (if I read the handwriting correctly). Previously, in the analyzes and in general there were no problems with this. The state of health in the first week of pregnancy was good, there was no toxicosis, and in the second half, if something was not eaten, it could feel sick and there was vomiting a couple of times. I lived and worked in China for five and a half months, where there are no dairy products, after moving to Ukraine, I started eating dairy, but I can’t say that it was a lot, I drank about a liter of milk a week before the test, and occasionally cottage cheese, if We don’t eat on time, sometimes we feel sick, if we eat something not very fresh (they never admit it in the store), then there is vomiting or frustration. The doctor told me to eat less sour-milk products. What do I need to change in my diet, what to eat, and what is not, how to treat it, tell me, I'm very worried.
Responsible Kostynenko Tatyana Vladimirovna:
Victoria, good afternoon! The doctor gave you correct recommendations. There is a diet and drinking regime for phosphaturia (available online). Nausea can also be a sign of late toxicosis. You need to lead healthy lifestyle life, visit more fresh air and, if there are no problems with high blood pressure and no swelling, then drink enough water. And, most importantly, don't worry. Judging by the analysis of urine - you have no serious violations.

Alice asks:
Please tell me, I'm just confused! the last months were 28.09, the test showed two strips, hCG did 06.11 = 1480 mom 0.74, today the ultrasound showed 4 weeks of pregnancy, the doctor says frozen on early term, but according to my calculations, the period is 4 weeks 3 days, what should I do? chest continues to hurt, toxicosis
Responsible Bosyak Yulia Vasilievna:
Hello Alice! I advise you to donate blood for hCG in dynamics, every 2 days. With a normally developing pregnancy, the indicator should double. If the indicator does not grow or falls, then the pregnancy has stopped.

The doctor told you everything is correct. Pregnancy is different, you can puke 24/7 for 39 weeks. Lemon water worked for me. The main thing is to eat, because due to nausea, you lose vitamins that could be delivered to the child. What is toxicosis? - One part of you throws all your strength into the preservation of the child and the safety of the fetus, the other is trying to reject the "foreign" body.

It is individual, sometimes the whole pregnancy can last. If the toxicosis is very strong, that is, you can’t eat at all, you lose weight, and so on, you will have to see a doctor, up to hospitalization.

Hey! Here is a selection of topics with answers to your question: Pregnancy. 13 weeks and severe toxicosis.
Behind the most exciting period - the first trimester of pregnancy, and with it many fears and uncertainty about the future. With the onset of the 13th week of pregnancy, a woman wants to know in detail what is happening in the body with her and her growing baby.
Toxicosis
Of course, one cannot be unequivocally sure that toxicosis at the 13th week of pregnancy will come to naught, and will no longer bother. Unfortunately, this does not happen to everyone.
But most often (especially if the toxicosis was mild), it passes without a trace, and already at the beginning of the new trimester, the expectant mother no longer remembers about him. If nausea is still worrying, you should not be very upset, because it will gradually become less and by the 16-20th week, when the baby begins to move, it will pass.
Breast
External changes, still imperceptible some couple of weeks ago, become apparent. This is especially true of the breast, because at the 13th week of pregnancy it continues to grow actively and adipose tissue is replaced by glandular tissue, for future lactation.
Worries about unpleasant and often painful sensations in the chest are no longer there - they are a thing of the past when the hormonal system was intensively rebuilt in a new way.
Uterus
This time, perhaps, can be called calm, which means that the uterus at the 13th week of pregnancy is not periodically in good shape, as during dangerous periods(8-9 weeks). But this does not mean that you can neglect your health. A moderately active lifestyle without frills and overstrain will allow you to fully enjoy your condition and watch your growing tummy.
By the way, he has already grown a little and can already be seen in some pregnant women under light clothing. But it looks more like a slightly recovered mommy and an unknowing person will not be able to distinguish a tummy from a “pregnant one”.
How is the baby changing?
The development of the fetus at the 13th week of pregnancy is very active, its weight is already equal to 20 grams. This is how much a small peach or an average plum weighs. The longer the period becomes, the faster the weight gain in the baby goes.
The size of the fetus at the 13th week of pregnancy is from 65 to 80 mm. Such a big difference may be due to the individual characteristics of the future man. After all, among adults there are tall and short people. Outwardly, the baby is starting to resemble a little man more and more.
The gastrointestinal tract has acquired villi, which will soon be involved in the process of digesting food. The pancreas is already producing insulin, and the rudiments of future baby teeth are already in the gums.
The movements of the baby are becoming more active, and soon mommy will be able to feel them. In the meantime, they are not yet strong enough to be felt. The baby's vocal cords are laid exactly at 13 weeks.
Analyzes and examinations at 13 weeks
Anyone who for some reason did not undergo an ultrasound now, it's time to make up for this omission. Often in this period the sex of the baby is very clearly visible, but during the second ultrasound monitoring this is not so well seen.
All tests in the first trimester have already been passed and now a woman can only go through narrow specialists, and before each visit to the antenatal clinic, take a general blood and urine test.
Feeding a woman at 13 weeks pregnant
Now, when toxicosis has already passed for many, or has become much less, there is a great desire not to limit yourself in anything and eat foods that until recently you didn’t even want to look at. This is fraught with a sharp jump in weight and rapid addiction, which will subsequently lead to excess weight for both mother and child.
Therefore, a healthy lifestyle in this period is correct, and, of course, regular. It is better to give preference to easily digestible foods, such as vegetables, fruits, dairy products. This good habit will be very relevant with further breastfeeding.
Welcome dear moms and dads! So the last week of the first trimester of pregnancy has come, and your unborn child has passed hard way from an embryo to a full-fledged small fetus. Amazing, isn't it? Let's learn more about the development of your baby at this stage, about the external changes of the mother, about sex during pregnancy, and much, much more!
13th week of pregnancy This is an extremely important period in the life of your unborn child. The baby or baby is no longer an embryo, but a fetus that looks and acts like a human child every day. If it seems to you that he / she is resting because the eyelids are closed and merge into one, you are mistaken! Those tiny arms and legs are already moving and twitching, despite the fact that you can't really feel it yet. And most importantly, your baby is now the size of an egg, about 8 cm long, weighs 140-220 grams and sucks his thumb!
13th week of pregnancy: You and your body
Hurray, down with morning sickness and the risk of miscarriage! In the second trimester of pregnancy, you are greeted with welcome relief and the joyful realization that you are indeed expecting a baby. It might be a safe time to make the announcement: "We're having a baby!", unless, of course, you've been keeping the big news a secret. In short, it's time to celebrate everything. First of all, you endured the painful beginning and survived the long struggle with the malignant symptoms of the first trimester of pregnancy. So, the pain will finally disappear, and instead of nausea, you will feel a brutal appetite and an irresistible craving for all kinds of sweets. However, your uterus continues to expand; therefore, with problems of heartburn, indigestion, bloating and passing gases, you should still be careful.
13th week of pregnancy: Why not celebrate?
Many women rightly consider the upcoming trimester of pregnancy the most enjoyable period of all three. Hateful nausea gives way to a funny “football in the stomach”, skin glowing from the inside and a healthy blush on the face. But let's talk about everything in order.
No nausea: Despite the fact that morning sickness dreams of lingering into the second trimester of pregnancy, often your sick leave has actually come to an end. The point is that exhausted female body already used to the constant "orgies" of hormones and online mode"carrying a child".
Increased Appetite: Nausea disappeared, and in its place came a brutal appetite. Finally, you can enjoy food again! Your appetite grows in direct proportion to your child's height; so load up on ice cream at 1 a.m. and pickles right in the morning!
« Children's football in a stomach": Your body changes inside and out, all to meet the needs and demands of a growing and developing child. Internal organs moms are castling slightly to make room for the expansion of the uterus, and the skin is stretched to allow the belly to grow. In general, you not only feel, but also look pregnant! But your "fashion show" will bring you many pleasant moments: you will increasingly open the door, smile after you and skip out of line at the store. And in general, pregnant women should not be denied anything!
Decreased sensitivity and soreness of the breast: Your poor breasts went through such a drastic growth spurt during the first trimester that now let them rest a little from the pain and discomfort. True, your breasts will not stop “filling with juices”, but their growth will stop at this bra size. But you will now be able to notice the appearance of colostrum from the nipples towards the end of the second trimester. No matter how, you are intensively prepared for feeding the baby.
However, although some pregnancy symptoms disappear with time, others still do not want to give up their positions. For example, you still have to run to the toilet like after a beer, because the growing fetus puts pressure on your bladder. In addition, fatigue will also make itself felt, despite the fact that the belly is still quite small. It just means that you need to get as much rest as possible.
13th week of pregnancy: Questions and answers about sex
Anxiety about being able to have sex during pregnancy and the consequences of doing so is a fairly universal concern for most parents-to-be. Do not worry, your baby is not hurt at all: the baby is perfectly protected by the wall of the mother's uterus, as well as amniotic fluid and the amniotic cavity. The entrance to the uterus and its cervix is also closed with a mucous plug. Rather, the problem is that many women may not be able to have sex at the beginning of pregnancy due to general fatigue, debilitating nausea, and breast hypersensitivity.
Perhaps this good time exclusively for gentle hugs. After the first trimester of pregnancy, on the contrary, there will be an increase in blood flow to the breasts and genitals, which will allow mothers to always be in the mood for sex. To be honest, the second trimester is the most suitable time for, since in the third trimester the belly is already growing rapidly and the unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy reappear. The main thing here is to have sex, avoiding the “lying on your back” position, since your growing belly can compress the vena cava and other vessels in the uterus, which is fraught with dizziness and nausea. It is also worth knowing that having an orgasm will not force you to give birth on the spot. The maximum that you will feel is some short-term compaction of the uterus after the climax, but this is absolutely normal.
Here are some extreme cases where your doctor may advise you to abstain from sex:
- Placenta previa (the placenta covers the cervix).
- predisposition to preterm birth.
- Bloody issues from the vagina.
- Multiple pregnancy (due to possible risk preterm birth).
- Problems with the early opening of the cervix (cervical insufficiency).
Be sure to talk to your partner about "what is good and what is bad" in your current physical condition. This kind of discussion will not only make your intimate relationship much more enjoyable, but it will also take it to a whole new level.
13th week of pregnancy: Dedicated to future parents, or
Principles for the future upbringing of a child
The upcoming second trimester of pregnancy is a great opportunity for moms and dads to talk about what kind of parents they want to become. There is no doubt that raising children means doing difficult, but such an important and pleasant job. So what is the best way to prepare for new role? One proven method is to make a list of principles for future parenting. In essence, you should discuss the most significant points and ideas already present, such as love, support, morals and values, education, manners, and so on.
If your own parental outlook on life is the same, it will be easier for you to establish a Family Code for raising common children. Can you imagine your future baby at the age of 25 or 30: how and how do you both see him? As soon as the appropriate image appears in your head, begin to work in the opposite direction, determining the principles by which you can raise a worthy son or daughter. You may both need whole line discussions on the topic, but with the principles agreed together, you will be able to achieve 2 very important goals:
1. First, you will be able to be guided by your own "code" every time it comes to the parenting process.
2. Secondly, it will give you the basis to get out of difficult life situations.
And do not forget that in any work, especially team work, a clear plan and an element of the game are always mega important. Isn't now the perfect time to both fool around and get serious about a brighter future for your entire family?
