摘要：AbstractNausea and vomiting currently occur in pregnancy. Approximately 70-85% of pregnant women experience nausea and half will also experience vomiting episodes. This study assesses the effect of BMI on the tendency of pregnant women to vomit and on their general condition during pregnancy.We included patients in this study who presented to our gynaecological room and clinic during their first trimester of pregnancy women completed a questionnaire assessing gravity, parity, gestational age, BMI. Women requested to report the number of vomiting episodes per day and their general condition using a 0 to 10 scale.Two hundred consecutive women were included in the study. The low frequency group (mean of less than 2 episodes) consisted of 158 women and the high frequency group (2 and more vomiting episodes) included the remaining 42 women. There was a significant correlation between of episodes of vomiting with BMI, age of mother and general condition. Women with higher frequency of vomiting episodes tend to have a lower BMI score and a worse general condition than women with low frequency of vomiting episodes.
