Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy: A study with pregnancy-unique quantification of emesis questionnaire

Women suffered from NVP very frequently. The daily duration of NVP was moderately long, in nearly half of the women four hours or more. In addition, retching was more frequent than vomiting. From studied risk factors, few associations with different aspects of NVP emerged, but only multiparity was associated with the severity of NVP. As NVP affects several women during pregnancy, in future, the impact of NVP on quality of life, future family planning and health costs should be evaluated.
