“…7,11,36 Although the NVP group reported the highest energy intake, GWG was lowest in that group. Vomiting has been found to reduce the appetite of pregnant women, and moderate vomiting in pregnancy caused an increased aversion to foods, 37,38 which may explain the significantly lower GWG in this group. Supporting this, the NVP group in our study responded highest to eating less in response to nausea.…”

Objective To investigate primarily the dietary intake, as well as demographics and selected lifestyle factors, of women experiencing nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, nausea only, or women who are symptom free.Design Prospective cohort study.Setting The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study, a population-based pregnancy cohort.Sample Analyses were based on 51 675 Norwegian pregnancies.Methods Dietary intake was assessed by a self-reported food frequency questionnaire answered in the first trimester of pregnancy, as were data regarding nausea and vomiting. Chi-squared tests, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression were used.Main outcome measures Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP), gestational weight gain (GWG), and dietary intake.Results We found that 17 070 (33%) women experienced NVP, 20 371 (39%) experienced only nausea, and 14 234 (28%) were symptom free. Women with NVP were younger and heavier at pregnancy onset, with the lowest GWG and highest energy intake during pregnancy, primarily from carbohydrates and added sugars, compared with the other groups (P < 0.001). In multiple linear regression analysis of GWG and group adjusted for body mass index (BMI), gestational length, smoking during pregnancy, and energy intake, a significant interaction was found between BMI and group (P < 0.001). A significant effect of group (P < 0.001) was found in all BMI strata, except among underweight women (P = 0.65).Conclusions Our study suggests that women with NVP are characterised by high intakes of carbohydrates and added sugar, primarily from sugar-containing soft drinks. Whether higher intakes of carbohydrates are a response aimed to alleviate symptoms, or are actually provoking the condition, is not known.

“…Poor appetite and reduced food intake sometimes accompany NVP. [49] NVP can also result in changes in food choices/selection and may affect the quality of the diet. Studies have shown that cravings and aversions are more common in women with NVP than those without.…”

Ginger (rhizome of Zingiber officinale) is a well known herb for its culinary and wide range of medicinal uses and is considered an essential component of the kitchen pharmacy.More commonly, ginger has been traditionally used in disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, as a stomachic, laxative, sialogogue, gastric emptying enhancer, appetizer, antiemetic, antidyspepsic, antispasmodic, and antiulcer agent with sufficient scientific support. Similarly, ginger has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antimigraine, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, diuretic, hypocholesterolemic, and antihypertensive activities. Recently, ginger has gained wide attention for its therapeutic role as a safe and effective preventive treatment option for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Ginger has a long history of safety, as it has been used for centuries not only for medicinal purposes, but also as a food and spice. Although some health risk and safety concerns exist in the literature about its use by pregnant women, the clinical evidence of harm is lacking. Ginger might, therefore, be used as an effective treatment option for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. In this article, we focus attention on these aspects of ginger.

“…On the other hand, many women experience that foods taste change with the pregnancy [7][8][9] and salt taste threshold was increased during pregnancy [8,10], although the significance of change of taste in pregnancy isn't clear. Salt is physiologically accumulated in a body and, a quantity of circulation plasma increases as a progress of pregnancy, and we have a great deal of interest in salt because of the increased requirement for sodium that accompanies pregnancy [11].…”

Summary We studied the salt taste change during pregnancy and investigated its meaning in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia female in salt restriction. 40 normal pregnant female, 35 pregnant female with preeclampsia and 64 healthy non-pregnant female were recruited to this study. Gustatory test was performed with the filter-paper disk method. Salt solutions, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 weight % were made from reagent grade sodium chloride and distilled water. The threshold of salt taste in pregnant female was higher than that of non-pregnant female. The threshold of salt taste in preeclampsia female was higher than that of pregnant female. The threshold of salt taste in normal pregnant female was correlated with their weight gain during pregnancy however that in preeclampsia female was not correlated. The threshold of salt taste was decreased and the symptom of preeclampsia was improved when preeclampsia female took the salt restriction diet therapy. It is suggested that the change of salt taste was related to the increased need of sodium according to progress of normal pregnancy, and was also related to the improvement of the symptoms of preeclampsia in salt restriction. The salt taste may be an objective indicator of salt intake for preeclampsia.
