 Early Pregnancy Toxemia

There are far fewer lucky women who didn’t have pregnancy toxemia at all than unlucky ones, who experienced it. Early toxemia usually appears on 5-6 week of pregnancy. Often the woman discovers that she’s pregnant by indispositions of early toxemia. There are three forms of toxemia: light, moderate and severe.

During light toxemia the woman feels weak and sick, vomiting of pregnancy can happen several times during a day, while clinical tests show normal results. In case of moderate pregnancy toxemia frequent vomiting appears, the weight decreases by more than 6%. Urine analysis shows the precense of acetone. In case of such form of toxemia it’s suggested that the woman is hospitalized. During the most severe form of pregnancy toxemia typical symptoms are constant vomiting, increased salivation up to 1,5 litres per day. In this case hospitalization is obligatory, if it’s not done or the woman isn’t feeling better despite anything, the pregnancy may result in abortion.

The reasons for early pregnancy toxemia are still unknown for sure, but there are many theories why this sickness appears. For example, a woman can suffer from toxemia if she has problems with gastrointestinal tract, the body may have troubles coping with the increased load on kidneys, liver and cholecyst. Some obstetrician say slim women have pregnancy toxemia more often.
Toxemia isn’t an illness, thus in case of light or moderate form an obstetrician will not always give a sick-list. Though, efficiency of the woman with toxemia will of course be lower.

Woman can feel better during toxemia with the help of pills and drugs, but before taking them it’s necessary to see a doctor. It’s advised to eat less, but more often, better 12 times per day. You have to abstain from unhealthy, fried and spicy food and the food that doesn’t make you feel well. After sleep you shouldn’t get up right away, it’s better to wait until your body fully wakes up and have breakfast in bed.
Most often pregnancy toxemia passes on 12-13 week of pregnancy, if you’re feeling worse or if you are quickly losing weight, see a doctor.
