What Causes Morning Sickness?

Morning sickness can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'needs attention' to 'very serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.

Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose morning sickness, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "morning sickness" as a symptom. Here are two possibilities:

Adrenal Fatigue
Dehydration

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

adverse reaction to stress

very dry eyes

hypothyroidism

chronic nausea

sugar/sweet craving

sexual abuse during childhood

adverse reaction to delayed meals

sensitivity to bright light

being highly lethargic

unusual vaginal bleeding

frequent colds/flus

severe fatigue after slight exertion

... and more than 70 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of morning sickness:

Cause	Probability	Status
Dehydration	99%	Confirm
Adrenal Fatigue	54%	Possible

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate having been pregnant but not now, being pregnant with first child or being pregnant again, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Did you experience Morning Sickness during pregnancy?

Possible responses:

→ No / don't know
→ Minor
→ Moderate
→ Serious
→ Severe

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate morning sickness, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Dehydration

Studies have demonstrated a relationship between nausea in pregnancy and impaired liver function. The liver is responsible for filtering toxins from the blood and dehydration causes the blood to become thicker, making it harder for the liver to do its job. Impaired liver function and the resulting buildup of toxins in the blood can cause nausea and morning sickness.
