R the treatment of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP), at much higher doses than initially recommended. This was a prospective comparative observational study.
A total of 192 pregnancies were followed-up. In this group (n = 96), there were 91 live births, one major malformation and the mean birth weight was 3,542 +/- 512 g. There were no statistical differences in the study endpoints between the vitamin B6 and the control groups. Within the limits of our sample size, higher than standard doses of vitamin B6 do not appear to be associated with an increased risk for major malformation.
What Is Morning Sickness And Who’S Affected?
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) notes that morning sickness, defined as nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, will affect almost 75 percent of all pregnant people. Morning sickness can be one of the earliest signs of pregnancy, beginning around the sixth week. You can blame it on those rising pregnancy hormones.
For many, morning sickness seems to stop around weeks 12 to 14, but for others, it continues for much longer. That can mean weeks upon weeks of daily vomiting and nausea.
