When a woman is pregnant for about one and a half months, the chorion in her body causes a significant increase in the secretion of gonadal hormones, which significantly reduces gastric acid and the activity of digestive enzymes. Therefore, it not only affects the normal digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract of pregnant women, but also causes pregnancy reactions such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, limb fatigue, etc., also known as "morning sickness", which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

In terms of dietary adjustment, easily digestible foods are the main focus. Get more rest, adjust your eating habits, eat small meals frequently, and keep your emotions stable. It will usually disappear on its own around 12 weeks of pregnancy and will not affect your health.
