Can severe morning sickness lead to miscarriage?

Severe morning sickness can easily cause acidosis or metabolic problems, which may lead to miscarriage.

Morning sickness is a relatively common phenomenon, usually occurring in early pregnancy. If morning sickness is not severe, it will not usually lead to miscarriage. However, since early pregnancy is a critical period for fetal neurological development, if morning sickness is severe and nutritional intake cannot be guaranteed, the fetus will not have enough energy, which may lead to slow fetal development and may even cause dehydration in pregnant women, easily leading to acidosis and metabolic abnormalities. This situation may affect the development of the embryo and cause miscarriage.

If morning sickness is severe during pregnancy, you can eat small amounts and multiple times, avoid greasy or odorous foods, and keep the room ventilated. If the condition is more serious, you can supplement with glucose, potassium, and sodium lactate to maintain fluid balance, and you can also take vitamin B6 tablets to stop vomiting as prescribed by your doctor.

If morning sickness is particularly severe, it is recommended that you go to the gynecology or obstetrics department of a regular hospital in time and actively receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid affecting the fetus.
