Pregnancy is not an easy time.
Now a new study has found that severe morning sickness, a phenomenon that women may suffer from during pregnancy, is linked to depression during pregnancy and even after.
Researchers at Imperial College University in London have found that women with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe type of morning sickness that occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, are at higher risk for depression during and after pregnancy.
The team noticed the connection in a clinical trial of more than 200 women and published its findings in the journal BMJ Open.
Pregnancy causes many changes in women, from hormone levels to mood swings, and sometimes these symptoms persist long after the baby is born.
One of the most common complaints in pregnancy is morning sickness, which usually appears in the first trimester.
It can cause nausea and vomiting, which are often triggered by odors or food.

Overcome pregnancy nausea with food
To the full article
In contrast to the term morning sickness, pregnant women can experience nausea at any hour of the day or even throughout the day.
While this can be unpleasant for the mother, morning sickness does not endanger the baby.
Morning sickness usually passes in the 16th to 20th week of pregnancy.
However, some women may develop the severe version of morning sickness called hyperemesis for short.
Women who experience morning sickness that looks worse than expected should consult their doctor.

The researchers examined the effect of hypermesis on 214 pregnant women from three London hospitals.
Half of the women showed signs of the phenomenon while in the other half there was no significant nausea or vomiting.
None of the participants received treatment for mental health conditions in the past year.
The researchers performed psychological assessments of the participants in the first trimester and six weeks after birth.

Psychological estimates showed that 49 percent of those women with hyperemesis experienced depression during pregnancy.
Only 6 percent of women without the severe nausea experienced the same thing.
After childbirth, 29 percent of pregnant women with hyperemesis still reported depression, compared with 7 percent of women who did not suffer from the phenomenon.
Dr. Nicola Mitchell-Jones, the lead author of the study, said in a press release that pregnant women with pregnancy are eight times more likely to be depressed during pregnancy. After pregnancy, they are four times more likely to be depressed. "Women's mentally, not just from health professionals, but from spouses, family and friends.
" Too often their spouses, relatives or co-workers do not provide the support they need because they do not understand the severity of what these women are going through, "she said. Dr. Mitchell-Jones, obstetrician and gynecologist.
Postpartum depression
The researchers also examined the relationship between mothers and their babies.
There does not appear to be a relationship or direct effect of the hypermesis phenomenon on the relationship.
However, previous studies have shown that depression can have a negative effect.
The authors noted that eight pregnant women with hyperemesis terminated their pregnancies.
In earlier stages the women wanted to give birth to their babies, so depression may have played a role in the decision.
Women who are depressed during pregnancy may continue to feel depressed after giving birth.
It may be related to baby blues that often comes with feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness and mood swings.
Family members should keep an eye on the new mother if she shows such signs, as this may indicate postpartum depression, a more severe mood disorder that is partly related to diuretic hormones.
