Food aversions and cravings during early pregnancy: Association with nausea and vomiting

Abstract:

The prospective cohort study examined whether Ecuadorian women with early pregnancy nausea and vomiting (NVP) are more likely to develop food aversions and cravings, and if so, whether the specific foods identified as aversive or craved are the same as those pbkp_redicted by the popular maternal-embryo protection hypothesis (MEPH). Consistent with MEPH pbkp_redictions, women with NVP were more likely to report increased odor sensitivity and aversions for some pbkp_redicted "toxic" foods and more likely to crave fruits. However, other hypothesis pbkp_redictions were not supported. The relationship of food aversions and cravings with NVP appears more complicated than that explained by the MEPH.© Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
