A Morning Sickness Pregnancy has its purpose! Hooray!
Paul Shermen (Cornell Professor of neurobiology and behavior) and Samuel Flaxman (University of Colorado evolutionary behaviorist) tested some of the theories behind morning sickness. What they found was that a Morning Sickness Pregnancy is natures way of protecting both the developing embryo and pregnant woman at a time when more needed. Its natures way of getting rid of anything that may cause a threat to the undeveloped fetus. Usually anything strong tasting or meats are the main culprits.
Other factors that support this are as follows:
-The main triggers of a Morning Sickness Pregnancy are cigarette smoking, alcohol, strong tasting foods or meat. These are all things that could pose a threat to the fetus. The meat and strong tasting foods such as vegetables could contain pathogens and parasites. The alcohol and cigarette smoke is self explanatory.
- Morning Sickness has usually died off by week 18 of pregnancy this is because the fetus is not as likely to be affected by toxins etc.
