“…On the other hand it may lead to such fetal problems as IUGR, LBW, congenital anomaly, premature birth and fetal death and birth [7,10,27]. Similar to the literature, our study demonstrated that babies of the women in the case group had more IUGR and LBW and more premature birth complications as compared with the babies in the control group.…”

“…In the absence of treatment, it may also result in fetal complications due to malnutrition and dehydration [9]. Generally, these complications are intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), low birth weight (LBW), congenital anomaly, premature labor and fetal death [7,10]. Therefore, HG is a pregnancy complication that needs to be treated at an early stage [6,11].…”

Introduction Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) medical therapies are currently of limited effect, which creates a larger role for patient preferences in the way HG care is arranged. This is the first study using in-depth interviews to investigate patients' preferences and experiences of HG treatment. Materials and Methods We conducted individual in-depth interviews among women who had been hospitalized for HG in North Holland at least once in the past 4 years. We asked them about their experiences, preferences, and suggestions for improvement regarding the HG treatment they received. The sample size was determined by reaching data saturation. Themes were identified from analysis of the interview transcripts. Results and Discussion 13 women were interviewed. Interviewees emphasized the importance of early recognition of the severity of HG, increasing caregivers' knowledge on HG, early medical intervention, and nasogastric tube feeding. They valued a single room in hospital, discussion of treatment options, more possibilities of home-treatment, psychological support during HG and after childbirth, and more uniform information and policies regarding HG treatment. Conclusion Further research is needed to establish whether the suggestions can lead to more (cost) effective care and improve the course of HG and outcomes for HG patients and their children.

“…Olfactory stimuli can be nausea provoking, cognitive processing of these stimuli is altered in pregnancy in a nonuniform fashion, often leading to unpredictable response. It has been noted that women with complete anosmia almost never develop nausea and vomiting during the pregnancy [40,41]. Psychological factors such as marital stress, undesired/unplanned pregnancy, and history of poor relationships between the patient and her own mother in the patient's childhood are speculated to be implicated in the development of HG as well [42,43].…”

Pregnancy-Associated Liver Disorders

Liver disorders associated with pregnancy include hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), preeclampsia, syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (HELLP), and acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP). These conditions are relatively common and unique to pregnancy and are more likely to occur at certain terms of gestation specific to each condition. They can be associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Although managing such patients may be very challenging, spontaneous resolution of the disease occurs shortly after termination of the pregnancy, usually without hepatic sequellae. Early diagnosis and timely treatment is a key to therapeutic success. This article explores the clinical features, pathophysiology, and management of these disorders.
