What Caused Persistent Sickness Which Has Disappeared Now In This Pregnancy?

My daughter is 10 weeks pregnant and had been very sick the last 4 weeks, she is using Zofran, pheneragn, and a patch not sure of all the exact meds, I was very sick when I was pregnant until week about week 12 and then slowly I would start to feel better, using hospital ivs and Zofran, she started feeling better yesterday and seems to be doing fairly good today, i also had 3 miscarriages and was not sick with any of them. I'm concerned that she started feeling so much better quickly that maybe the baby has died and her body has started making the hormones that were making her so sick. Very worried first time grandma

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

There is no reason to believe that your daughter's improvement is due to any harm coming to the fetus. It is normal for pregnancy hormone levels to peak between 8-10 weeks gestation so the relief she feels is just to the levels getting back to normal. Most women feel the best during pregnancy in the second trimester, so everything she has experienced is normal for the course of most hyperemesis patients.

Furthermore, every pregnancy is different, and there is no reason to assume your daughter's pregnancy should mirror your own. Many healthy women with normal pregnancies have no nausea at all, so there is nothing to worry about if your daughter is finally feeling better.

I hope i was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was reassuring.

Best wishes for you and your daughter,

Dr. Brown
