Morning Sickness Could Descending

Symptoms of nausea and vomiting in the morning or the usual morning sickness experienced by pregnant women under the age of 6 months. Morning sickness is a disease that turned out to be derived by gene alias descent.

Norwegian researchers reported daughters of mothers who have severe morning sickness probably three times through the same thing.

One form of morning sickness is hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition that involves nausea and vomiting before reaching 22 weeks gestational age. In severe cases can cause weight loss.

More than 2 percent of pregnant women experience this and be a common cause of pregnant women treated at the hospital. It is also associated with premature births low birth weight dams.

In a recent study led by researchers from the Norwegian Ase Vikanes Institute of Public Health in Oslo, showed that there was a strong effect of the mother's genes that descended to his daughter on the development of this condition. The results of this study have been published on 30 April at the issue of British Medical Journal (BMJ).

"This condition is influenced by the mother's lineage and followed by a factor of body mass index, smoking habits, infections and nutritional factors that can contribute to the development of hypermeresis gravidarum," said Vikanes, as quoted from HealthDay, Monday (04/03/2010) .

Previously, the condition hypermeresis gravidarum allegedly caused psychological problems, such as rejection of the subconscious to the presence of a conceived child or partner. Then the researchers tried to see whether genetic factors also influence this.

For this study, Vikanes 2.3 million and the team analyzed data from 1967 to 2006 birth years. There were about more than 500,000 pairs of mothers and children of women who experience this. If a mother has the condition, then his daughter three times more likely to develop this condition.

"These findings may add new insight into hypermeresis gravidarum and be a reference to a woman will have the possibility of experiencing the condition hypermeresis gravidarum by looking at the history of his family," he said.
