Morning sickness is linked to a lower risk of miscarriage, as it indicates rising hormone levels. Lack of symptoms can suggest a deficiency of hormones, which can cause spontaneous abortion. The severity of morning sickness does not necessarily correlate with the health of the pregnancy. Women who do not experience morning sickness may simply respond better to increased hormones or have healthier lifestyles.
The main connection between morning sickness and miscarriage is that women who experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy have a lower risk of miscarriage. Also, women who have absolutely no disease have a slightly higher risk of having a miscarriage compared to women with severe to moderate nausea. Why this is the case is not fully understood, as no one knows exactly what causes morning sickness.
There are several theories as to why morning sickness and a miscarriage rarely go together. The first is that the disease in pregnancy is a sign that hormones rise rapidly and cause reactions in the woman’s body. A lack of normal pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea, can be a sign that hormone levels aren’t rising as they should. These hormones, mainly progesterone and estrogen, are needed to prevent menstruation and support a healthy pregnancy. A deficiency of these hormones can cause the body not to realize that it is pregnant and spontaneously abort the pregnancy.
Another theory about morning sickness and miscarriage rates states that nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is nature’s way to ensure the mother isn’t eating anything harmful. Vomiting can also help cleanse the stomach of potentially harmful pathogens. This theory is not widely supported, in part because many times a woman gets sick at the thought of eating healthy food while she tolerates junk food well.
It is not fully known whether there is a correlation between the severity of morning sickness and miscarriage. There is generally no set amount of disease that is considered “healthy” or “unhealthy” as long as the mother is still able to eat and nourish her body and does not become dehydrated. Aside from that, women experience nausea in pregnancy to varying degrees and lengths of time with no apparent link to the health of the pregnancy.
There are many women, however, who experience no nausea or morning sickness at all and go on to have healthy babies. It’s possible that if the hormone theory were true, these women might simply respond better to increased hormones than most. Another possibility is that these women eat healthier and avoid risky foods and other substances and may be less in need of the added protection from vomiting and nausea. It may also be that the baby or the placenta produces hormones or enzymes that cause disease in some women and not in others.
