Background: Studies that contributed to the epidemiology of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy have reported conflicting findings, and often failed to account for all possible co-variables necessary to evaluate the multidimensional associations. The objectives of this study were to: 1) Estimate the prevalence and the severity of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy during the 1 st and the 2 nd trimester of pregnancy, and 2) Identify determinants of presence and severity of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy during the 1 st and 2 nd trimesters separately, with a special emphasis on the impact of race/ethnicity.

Background: Though nausea and vomiting is very common during pregnancy, no studies have investigated the impact of this condition on the women's daily lives in a Scandinavian population. The aim of this study was to describe the burden of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) on global quality of life, daily life functioning and willingness to become pregnant again according to the severity of NVP symptoms. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional population-based study conducted in Norway. Pregnant women and mothers with children <1 year of age with current or prior NVP were eligible to participate. Data were collected through an anonymous on-line questionnaire accessible from November 10 th , 2014 to January 31 st , 2015. Severity of NVP was measured using the 24-h Pregnancy Unique Quantification of Emesis Scale (PUQE). Associations between severity of NVP, daily life functioning and willingness to become pregnant again were tested using chisquare tests. Associations with global quality of life measured in terms of the Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) were estimated using generalized linear models and reported as unstandardized regression coefficients (β) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: 712 women with NVP were included in the study. NVP was significantly associated with several characteristics, including daily life functioning, quality of life and willingness to become pregnant again. The negative impact was greater the more severe the symptoms were, although considerable adverse effects were also seen among women with mild and moderate NVP symptoms. Over one fourth of the women with severe NVP considered terminating the pregnancy due to NVP, and three in four considered not to get pregnant again. Severity of NVP remained significantly associated with reduced global quality of life when adjusting for maternal characteristics and illnesses with β (95% CI) = −10.9 (−16.9, −4.9) for severe versus mild NVP. Conclusions: NVP as measured by PUQE had a major impact on various aspects of the women's lives, including global quality of life and willingness to become pregnant again.

A lower quality of life and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes are linked to the severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP). This study used the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) scale to compare the severity of NVP with the various demographic and maternal parameters among pregnant women. To analyse the association of severity of nausea and vomitting using a modified PUQE scale with the various demographic and maternal characteristics This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 380 pregnant women who were receiving antenatal care at a tertiary health care centre between January 2023 and March 2024. The severity of NVP was evaluated by the PUQE scale which was later compared with the various maternal characteristics. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the risk factors associated with NVP. Gestational age was significantly associated with increasing NVP. Most of the subjects in the moderate (45.2%) and severe (47.7%) PUQE group were gravida 1 while 43.9% were gravida 2 in the mild group. PUQE scale can be used to assess the severity of NVP thus aiding the healthcare professionals in providing required treatment.
