Expecting a baby is an exciting time. However, all that excitement can be quickly halted by pesky morning sickness, experienced by 70-90% of pregnant women. Symptoms of nausea and vomiting may vary from mild to severe. The most extreme form of morning sickness is called hyperemesis gravadarum, which can result in dehydration and weight loss. HG typically requires medical treatment and possible hospitalization. Hyperemesis gravadarum has been in the news most recently because of Kate Middleton who has experienced this condition in both of her pregnancies.
Research points to some possible causes of morning sickness.
According to Obstetrics & Gynecology (April 1998), 90% of women with HG also tested positive for h. pylori. The most common treatment is antibiotics but many are not approved during pregnancy. In addition they can be expensive and cause anti-biotic resistance. However, this study showed that probiotics have an inhibitory effect on h. pylori and reduce the associated gastric inflammation. Another study showed that h. pylori was rapidly inactivated by lauric acid, an ingredient only found in breastmilk and coconut oil.
Research also shows that women with hyperemesis gavadarum are deficient in magnesium. In fact, magnesium replenishment is part of the standard protocol for dehydration. I first learned about magnesium deficiency during pregnancy over at Modern Alternative Pregnancy and have been reading more and more stories of women who have had success in eliminating debilitating morning sickness by supplementing this mineral. However, you need to understand that magnesium is most effective when absorbed through the skin.
The good news? Pink Stork carries a full line of all-natural products shown to attack the root problems associated with morning sickness.
