Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy Hyperemesis Gravidarum
#nauseaInPregnancy #vomitingInPregnancy #hyperemesisGravidarum
If: Your urine is dark colored and has a bad odor or if you have not been able to urinate for 4-6 hours (which is an indicator that your body is dehydrated)
If you have not been able to eat or drink anything and have been vomiting for about 12 hours
If you have a fever, abdominal pain, or feel very exhausted and weak, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible
If your doctor has recommended hospitalization in this situation, tests are done to check your fluid and electrolyte balance and to find out if there is another underlying problem triggering this nausea. The first step is to start IV fluid therapy to compensate for the fluid your body has lost.
One of the most distinctive and important tests is the urine test. In prolonged fasting, your body will begin to burn fatty acids to provide glucose to vital organs, and with the use of these acids, a substance called ketone is produced and your body excretes it through urine.
And the presence of this ketone in the urine is a signal that your body is responding to starvation and treatment is started as soon as possible.
