Some women describe it as sea sickness, others like permanent hangover. And some lucky you-know-whats will never get morning sickness at all.
有些女性将晨吐描述为晕船,而其她女性则认为晨吐像永久性宿醉一样。而有些你所知道的幸运女性从没有经历过晨吐。
That's perhaps the most important thing to know before you deep-dive into morning sickness horror stories online, before you listen to your friends lamenting months spent hugging the toilet bowl: it's different for everyone.
在你深读网上有关晨吐的恐怖故事前,在你听好朋友抱怨好几个月都抱着马桶吐之前,知道这一点可能最为重要:这是因人而异的。
So with that in mind here are some things you ought to know about morning sickness.
记住这一点后,下列就是你应该知道的关于晨吐的那些事儿。
* Roughly 80 per cent of women experience symptoms of morning sickness. For many, these symptoms include things like nausea, vomiting, a loss of appetite, and a heightened sensitivity to certain smells.
*大约80%的孕妇会有晨吐症状。对于很多人来说,这些症状包括恶心、呕吐、食欲不振以及对特定气味特别敏感。
* In the majority of cases, morning sickness symptoms begin at around four weeks and subside after the first three months. Although for some women, they can persist for the duration of the pregnancy.
*在大多数情况下,晨吐症状大约在怀孕四周后开始,头三个月过后症状会慢慢减轻。但有些孕妇在怀孕期间一直都有晨吐症状。
* The name 'morning sickness' is a misnomer. Morning sickness can - and does for some - occur at any time of the day or night.
*'晨吐'一词是个误称。晨吐--对一些人来说--会在白天或夜晚的任何时间发生。
* The severity and duration of symptoms not only vary greatly from woman to woman, but also between pregnancies. Unfortunately, the fact that you avoided it with your first child, doesn't necessarily mean that you will the second, third or tenth time around.
*晨吐的严重程度和持续时间不仅因孕妇而异,也因怀孕次数而异。不幸的是,如果你第一胎没有晨吐症状,并不意味着你第二胎、第三胎或第十胎也不会晨吐。
* Roughly one per cent of women will experience Hyperemesis gravidarum - this is morning sickness so severe that it results in unrelenting nausea, excessive vomiting (more than four times a day), headaches, weight loss and dehydration. Sufferers may require hospital admission and medication. Perhaps the most famous sufferer of Hyperemesis gravidarum that we know of is the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.
*大约1%的孕妇会经历妊娠剧吐--这种晨吐十分严重,会导致一直恶心、过度呕吐(每天超过四次)、头痛、体重减轻和脱水。出现这种症状的孕妇需要住院、吃药。也许我们知道的经历妊娠剧吐的名人就是凯特王妃了吧。
