Nausea and vomiting affects a large proportion of women in early pregnancy, yet because it is a physiological symptom it is often dismissed by health professionals, leaving women to find their own coping mechanisms. This leads many to try a range of complementary and alternative therapies and natural remedies, although the evidence of efficacy is variable. Furthermore, while women realise the possible risks of taking medication during pregnancy they do not see complementary medicine in the same way. This paper explores a few of the common alternatives which expectant mothers self-administer to relieve nausea and vomiting and addresses issues of efficacy and safety.
恶心和呕吐影响着很大一部分孕早期女性，但由于这是一种生理症状，医护人员常常对此不予重视，让女性自行寻找应对方法。这导致许多女性尝试一系列补充和替代疗法以及天然疗法，尽管其疗效证据不一。此外，虽然女性意识到孕期服药可能存在风险，但她们对补充医学的看法却不同。本文探讨了一些准妈妈自行采用的常见缓解恶心和呕吐的替代方法，并讨论了疗效和安全性问题。
