4. Dehydration is another frequent symptom of hyperemesis.
The reason for your dehydration is because you’re not getting any fluids in your body. For a pregnant woman, she needs to drink plenty of water. She’s unable to drink water because when she does, she’ll just throw it back up. Without any water, it can cause other issues in your body. Your kidneys won’t be able to function properly. You’ll start to have headaches.
The pregnant woman will more than likely want to lie down all of the time. Going to the hospital is the only option. At the hospital, the doctors will place an IV in your vein along with fluid replacement. This will allow your body to get the fluids that it needs to keep you from getting dehydrated.
Once you’re hydrated, they’ll monitor you to see if they can release you. If there is no vomiting or nausea, you can go home.
