Poranne mdłości
Objawy

Poranne mdłości, dotykające 70-80% ciężarnych, rozpoczynają się zwykle między 4. a 9. tygodniem ciąży, najczęściej około 6. tygodnia, co odpowiada 8-10 dniom po owulacji. Objawy obejmują nudności, wymioty, utratę apetytu, wstręt do zapachów i nadmierne ślinienie się, osiągając szczyt intensywności między 8. a 12. tygodniem ciąży, z kulminacją około 9-10 tygodnia, co koreluje z najwyższym stężeniem hCG. U większości kobiet dolegliwości ustępują do 12-14 tygodnia, a u 87% do 20. tygodnia. Ciężka postać, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), występuje u 1-3% ciężarnych i charakteryzuje się wymiotami >3-4 razy/dobę, utratą masy ciała >5%, odwodnieniem, ketonurią, zaburzeniami elektrolitowymi oraz objawami ogólnoustrojowymi, wymagającymi hospitalizacji i leczenia dożylnego.

Poranne mdłości – charakterystyka objawów

Poranne mdłości to jeden z najczęstszych objawów wczesnej ciąży, dotykający około 70-80% ciężarnych kobiet. Mimo nazwy sugerującej występowanie objawów wyłącznie rano, dolegliwości te mogą pojawić się o dowolnej porze dnia i nocy.123 Większość kobiet (około 80%) doświadcza objawów trwających przez cały dzień, a jedynie 1,8% odczuwa je wyłącznie rano.4

Główne objawy porannnych mdłości to:

  • Nudności (uczucie mdłości) – z wymiotami lub bez56
  • Wymioty7
  • Utrata apetytu8
  • Wstręt do określonych zapachów i pokarmów9
  • Uczucie podobne do choroby lokomocyjnej10
  • Nadmierne ślinienie się11

U większości kobiet objawy mają charakter łagodny do umiarkowanego. Typowo doświadczają one nudności przez krótki czas każdego dnia i mogą wymiotować raz lub dwa razy.8 Natomiast u niewielkiego odsetka ciężarnych (około 1-3%) rozwija się ciężka postać poranych mdłości zwana hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).612

Hyperemesis gravidarum – ciężka postać porannych mdłości

Hyperemesis gravidarum to termin medyczny określający najcięższą formę nudności i wymiotów podczas ciąży. W przeciwieństwie do zwykłych porannych mdłości, HG charakteryzuje się:

  • Wymiotami występującymi więcej niż 3-4 razy dziennie3
  • Utratą ponad 5% masy ciała sprzed ciąży1314
  • Niemożnością przyjmowania pokarmów i płynów15
  • Odwodnieniem i zaburzeniami elektrolitowymi14
  • Ketonurią16
  • Ciemnymi moczem i zmniejszoną ilością oddawanego moczu1718
  • Zawrotami głowy, uczuciem osłabienia13
  • Przyspieszoną akcją serca13
  • Skrajnym zmęczeniem i omdleniami13
  • Bólami głowy13
  • Żółtaczką14

Hyperemesis gravidarum wymaga interwencji medycznej i często hospitalizacji w celu podania płynów dożylnie oraz leków przeciwwymiotnych.1917 Nieleczone HG może prowadzić do powikłań zdrowotnych zarówno u matki, jak i u płodu, w tym do zaburzeń tarczycy, wątroby i równowagi płynów.20

Kiedy zaczynają się poranne mdłości?

Poranne mdłości zazwyczaj rozpoczynają się na wczesnym etapie ciąży. Dokładny moment pojawienia się objawów może się różnić, ale większość badań wskazuje na określone ramy czasowe.

Początek objawów

Poranne mdłości zwykle zaczynają się między 4. a 9. tygodniem ciąży.121 Najczęściej objawy pojawiają się około 6. tygodnia ciąży, czyli około 2 tygodnie po pierwszym spódzielonym miesiączkowaniu.2223 U większości kobiet objawy występują przed 9. tygodniem ciąży.1

Interesujące jest to, że badania mierzące czas od dnia owulacji (a nie od ostatniej miesiączki) wykazały, że objawy porannych mdłości zaczynają się wcześniej niż wcześniej sądzono i w węższym przedziale czasowym. Większość kobiet doświadcza pierwszych objawów między 8. a 10. dniem po owulacji.24 To oznacza, że mierząc od dnia owulacji jako początku ciąży, większość kobiet doświadcza pierwszych objawów po 8-10 dniach, w porównaniu do 20-30 dni, jeśli mierzy się od ostatniej miesiączki.24

Najnowsze badania wskazują, że u 67% kobiet z porannymi mdłościami objawy pojawiają się między 11. a 20. dniem po owulacji.25 Średni czas pojawienia się objawów to 16 dni od owulacji i 32 dni od ostatniej miesiączki.25

Nasilenie objawów

Objawy porannych mdłości narastają stopniowo, osiągając szczyt intensywności między 8. a 12. tygodniem ciąży.122 Najczęściej nasilenie objawów jest największe około 9-10 tygodnia ciąży.261 Jest to zbieżne z okresem, w którym poziom hormonu hCG (ludzkiej gonadotropiny kosmówkowej) osiąga najwyższe stężenie.2723

W tym okresie symptomy mogą obejmować:

  • Częstsze nudności28
  • Zwiększoną częstotliwość wymiotów28
  • Nasilony wstręt do zapachów28
  • Utrudnione funkcjonowanie w codziennym życiu29

Badanie przeprowadzone na ponad 350 kobietach potwierdziło, że szczyt nasilenia objawów przypada na około 9. tydzień ciąży.26 Jest to również okres, w którym rozwój organów płodu jest najbardziej podatny na zakłócenia chemiczne.3031

Jak długo trwają poranne mdłości?

Czas trwania porannych mdłości jest zróżnicowany, ale można zaobserwować pewne typowe wzorce.

Standardowy przebieg

U większości kobiet poranne mdłości ustępują około 12-14 tygodnia ciąży, czyli pod koniec pierwszego trymestru.122 Dokładniej:

  • Około 60% przypadków ustępuje do końca pierwszego trymestru (13. tydzień)16
  • Do 16-20 tygodnia objawy zazwyczaj całkowicie zanikają u większości kobiet3233
  • Do 20 tygodnia około 87% kobiet nie doświadcza już objawów16

Po szczytowym okresie nasilenia objawów (około 9-10 tygodnia), intensywność dolegliwości stopniowo maleje.34 U niektórych kobiet objawy mogą ustąpić nagle, jakby „wyłączone przełącznikiem”, ale u większości ustępują stopniowo.35

Przedłużone trwanie objawów

Nie wszystkie kobiety doświadczają typowego przebiegu porannych mdłości. U części z nich objawy mogą utrzymywać się dłużej:

  • 15-20% kobiet doświadcza objawów do trzeciego trymestru (po 20. tygodniu)3633
  • Około 5% kobiet cierpi na poranne mdłości przez całą ciążę, aż do porodu3637

W przypadku hyperemesis gravidarum objawy mogą trwać dłużej niż standardowe poranne mdłości. HG często utrzymuje się przez cały pierwszy trymestr i może trwać do 20. tygodnia lub nawet przez całą ciążę.2913 Jednak nawet w przypadku HG, u wielu kobiet objawy stają się mniej nasilone z upływem czasu.38

Warto zauważyć, że u niektórych kobiet poranne mdłości mogą ustąpić około 12. tygodnia, a następnie powrócić w 32. tygodniu przed porodem.39 Może to być związane z rosnącą macicą wywierającą nacisk na żołądek w ostatnim trymestrze.40

Przyczyny porannych mdłości

Dokładna przyczyna porannych mdłości nie jest w pełni poznana, jednak badacze zidentyfikowali kilka prawdopodobnych czynników.

Czynniki hormonalne

Jedną z głównych przyczyn porannych mdłości są zmiany hormonalne zachodzące podczas ciąży:41

  • Wzrost poziomu hormonu hCG (ludzkiej gonadotropiny kosmówkowej) – osiąga szczyt między 8. a 12. tygodniem, co zbiega się z nasileniem objawów2742
  • Ostatnie badania wykazały kluczową rolę hormonu GDF15 produkowanego przez płód i łożysko. Stopień nudności i wymiotów jest bezpośrednio związany zarówno z ilością GDF15 wytwarzanego przez płodową część łożyska i wysyłanego do krwiobiegu matki, jak i z wrażliwością kobiety na wywoływanie nudności przez ten hormon1243
  • Kobiety, które przed ciążą były narażone na niższe poziomy GDF15, doświadczają bardziej nasilonych objawów12

Badania przeprowadzone przez naukowców z USC i Uniwersytetu Cambridge w 2023 roku jednoznacznie wskazują, że GDF15 jest kluczowym czynnikiem wywołującym poranne mdłości, a obniżenie jego poziomu może być potencjalnym sposobem zapobiegania tym dolegliwościom.4445

Ewolucyjne znaczenie porannych mdłości

Niektórzy badacze sugerują, że poranne mdłości mogą mieć ewolucyjne znaczenie ochronne:46

  • Mogą chronić matkę i płód przed szkodliwymi toksynami w pokarmie31
  • Szczyt objawów przypada dokładnie wtedy, gdy organogeneza (rozwój organów) płodu jest najbardziej podatna na zakłócenia chemiczne31
  • Kobiety doświadczające porannych mdłości mają mniejsze prawdopodobieństwo poronienia niż kobiety bez tych objawów3136
  • Niechęć do określonych pokarmów, szczególnie mięsa, ryb i jaj, mogła chronić przed patogenami w czasach przed nowoczesnymi metodami przechowywania żywności47

Badanie opublikowane w 2021 roku wykazało, że prawdopodobieństwo poronienia samoistnego jest 3-10 razy wyższe u kobiet bez objawów porannych mdłości w porównaniu do kobiet, które ich doświadczają.48 Efekt ten jest silniejszy u kobiet w wieku powyżej 35 lat.49

Inne czynniki wpływające na poranne mdłości

Istnieją również inne czynniki, które mogą wpływać na występowanie i nasilenie porannych mdłości:

  • Wiek matki – starsze kobiety mogą doświadczać późniejszego początku objawów50
  • Ciąża mnoga (bliźniaki, trojaczki) zwiększa ryzyko wystąpienia nasilonych objawów5152
  • Stres, lęk i zmęczenie mogą nasilać objawy4253
  • Niski poziom cukru we krwi – poranne mdłości mogą się nasilać, gdy żołądek jest pusty54
  • Historia porannych mdłości w poprzednich ciążach zwiększa prawdopodobieństwo ich wystąpienia w kolejnych55
  • Skłonność do choroby lokomocyjnej lub migren może predysponować do cięższych objawów55

Kiedy należy skonsultować się z lekarzem?

Choć łagodne do umiarkowanych poranne mdłości są normalnym objawem ciąży, istnieją sytuacje, kiedy należy niezwłocznie skontaktować się z lekarzem:

Niepokojące objawy wymagające konsultacji lekarskiej

  • Wymioty występują więcej niż 3-4 razy dziennie563
  • Niemożność przyjmowania płynów przez ponad 12 godzin27
  • Utrata wagi (powyżej 5% masy ciała sprzed ciąży)56
  • Objawy odwodnienia: zawroty głowy, omdlenia, ciemny mocz, rzadkie oddawanie moczu5618
  • Uczucie dezorientacji lub splątania56
  • Niemożność przyjmowania leków53
  • Pojawienie się krwi w wymiocinach53
  • Wystąpienie nudności i wymiotów po raz pierwszy po 10. tygodniu ciąży55
  • Objawy nie ustępują po 20. tygodniu ciąży27
  • Silny ból brzucha lub gorączka57

Eksperci zalecają wczesne leczenie, zanim objawy staną się poważne, aby zapobiec rozwinięciu się hyperemesis gravidarum.20 Opóźnianie leczenia ze względu na obawy dotyczące możliwego ryzyka dla matki i dziecka zwiększa ryzyko znanych powikłań HG spowodowanych przewlekłym odwodnieniem i niedożywieniem.58

Konsekwencje nieleczonych ciężkich porannych mdłości

Nieleczone ciężkie nudności i wymioty mogą prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji zdrowotnych:8

Ciężkie wymioty nie są normalną częścią ciąży i wymagają interwencji medycznej.51 Badania wykazują, że leki przeciwwymiotne są skuteczniejsze, im wcześniej zostaną zastosowane.61

Wpływ porannych mdłości na przebieg ciąży

Poranne mdłości mogą mieć różny wpływ na przebieg ciąży, zarówno pozytywny, jak i negatywny.

Wpływ na stan zdrowia matki

Poranne mdłości mogą znacząco wpływać na codzienne funkcjonowanie ciężarnej:29

  • Utrudniają wykonywanie codziennych obowiązków29
  • Mogą powodować czasową niezdolność do pracy37
  • Przyczyniają się do stresu, lęku i depresji627
  • Mogą prowadzić do izolacji społecznej i emocjonalnego wyczerpania61
  • Generują dodatkowe koszty opieki zdrowotnej37

W przypadku hyperemesis gravidarum wpływ na życie kobiety może być druzgocący – niektóre kobiety doświadczają wymiotów nawet 30 razy dziennie, co całkowicie uniemożliwia normalne funkcjonowanie.63 HG może wymagać wielokrotnych hospitalizacji i długotrwałego leczenia.6364

Wpływ na rozwój płodu

Łagodne do umiarkowanych poranne mdłości zwykle nie mają negatywnego wpływu na rozwój płodu:8

  • Badania sugerują, że kobiety z łagodnymi objawami porannych mdłości mają mniejsze ryzyko poronienia i porodu martwego1636
  • Poranne mdłości mogą być pozytywnym wskaźnikiem prawidłowego rozwoju łożyska30
  • Brak porannych mdłości nie oznacza problemów z ciążą – wiele kobiet bez objawów rodzi zdrowe dzieci4710

Jednak w przypadku ciężkich wymiotów i odwodnienia, szczególnie przy HG, mogą wystąpić potencjalne zagrożenia:16

  • Zwiększone ryzyko niskiej masy urodzeniowej16
  • Wyższe ryzyko ograniczenia wzrostu płodu16
  • W skrajnych przypadkach – przedwczesny poród45

Należy podkreślić, że ryzyko dla płodu pojawia się głównie w przypadku nieleczonej hyperemesis gravidarum, a nie przy typowych porannych mdłościach.61 Odpowiednie leczenie HG może znacząco zmniejszyć te zagrożenia.60

Różnice w przebiegu porannych mdłości

Przebieg porannych mdłości może się znacznie różnić między kobietami i nawet między kolejnymi ciążami u tej samej kobiety.

Zmienność objawów między kobietami

Intensywność i czas trwania porannych mdłości są bardzo indywidualne:62

  • Niektóre kobiety (około 20-30%) nie doświadczają żadnych nudności i wymiotów podczas ciąży565
  • Około 50% ciężarnych doświadcza wymiotów, a 70-80% odczuwa nudności4
  • U części kobiet objawy są łagodne i występują sporadycznie62
  • Inne kobiety doświadczają objawów codziennie, z różnym nasileniem62
  • Niektóre badania wykazały, że nawet 89-94% kobiet ma jakieś objawy porannych mdłości, co jest wyższym odsetkiem niż wcześniej raportowane 80%5066

Naukowcy zaobserwowali, że intensywność objawów może być związana z wrażliwością kobiety na hormon GDF15.12 Kobiety, które przed ciążą były narażone na niższe poziomy tego hormonu, mogą doświadczać bardziej nasilonych objawów podczas ciąży.12

Różnice między kolejnymi ciążami

Doświadczenie porannych mdłości może się różnić między kolejnymi ciążami u tej samej kobiety:67

  • Nasilenie objawów w jednej ciąży nie przewiduje, jak kobieta będzie się czuła w przyszłych ciążach67
  • Jednak kobiety, które doświadczyły porannych mdłości w poprzedniej ciąży, mają większe prawdopodobieństwo ich wystąpienia w kolejnych55
  • W przypadku hyperemesis gravidarum istnieje duże prawdopodobieństwo, że stan ten powtórzy się w kolejnej ciąży29

Ciąża mnoga (bliźnięta, trojaczki) zwiększa ryzyko wystąpienia bardziej nasilonych objawów porannych mdłości.51 Chociaż poranne mdłości nie zaczynają się wcześniej w przypadku ciąży bliźniaczej, mogą być bardziej intensywne, gdy już się pojawią.65

Różnice występują także w zależności od wieku matki i BMI. Badania wykazały, że objawy zaczynają się nieco wcześniej u kobiet z wyższym BMI (około jeden dzień wcześniej na każde 5 kg/m² wzrostu BMI) i nieco później z rosnącym wiekiem (prawie jeden dzień później na każde 3 lata).25

  • #12 Researchers identify key cause of pregnancy sickness and a potential way to prevent it
    https://keck.usc.edu/news/researchers-identify-key-cause-of-pregnancy-sickness-and-a-potential-way-to-prevent-it/
    A new USC and University of Cambridge study finds that a hormone produced by the fetus – and a mother’s sensitivity to the hormone – are the cause behind nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, which, in its more extreme form can put the mother and fetus at risk. […] Nausea and vomiting have long been a forgone conclusion for expectant mothers, affecting 80% of women at some point during pregnancy. An additional 2% experience an extreme form called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) that can lead to weight loss, dehydration and hospitalization. But little has been known about the cause. Recently, a growing body of evidence has linked the symptoms to GDF15, a hormone produced in the placenta that increases substantially during pregnancy. […] The new study supports the causal role of GDF15 in pregnancy sickness and reveals the role a woman’s sensitivity to the hormone has in determining the severity of her symptoms. Women exposed to lower levels of GDF15 before pregnancy experience more severe symptoms.
  • #13 Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
    https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12232-hyperemesis-gravidarum

  • #15 Beyond Morning Sickness: Hyperemesis Gravidarum | FDA
    https://www.fda.gov/consumers/knowledge-and-news-women-owh-blog/beyond-morning-sickness-hyperemesis-gravidarum
    The vast majority of women experience nausea during pregnancy, often referred to as morning sickness, especially in the first three months of pregnancy. HG is the medical term for the most severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It is more extreme than morning sickness. HG can lead to weight loss and dehydration, and may require intensive treatment. […] Women with HG often experience vomiting, which can lead to weight loss and dehydration. Symptoms often last longer than morning sickness. If you have nausea and vomiting so extreme that you lose more than 5% of your pre-pregnancy weight, you may have HG. […] Women with morning sickness can generally proceed with normal daily activities, but women with HG cannot. While morning sickness can cause decreased appetite, low level nausea, or vomiting (at any time of day), morning sickness is different from HG because women with morning sickness are typically able to eat and drink fluids some of the time.

    https://bmcpregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12884-020-03478-7
    Nausea and vomiting are experienced by most women during pregnancy. The onset is usually related to Last Menstrual Period (LMP) the date of which is often unreliable. This study describes the time to onset of nausea and vomiting symptoms from date of ovulation and compares this to date of last menstrual period. Almost all women (88%) had Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin rise within 8 to 10 days of ovulation; the equivalent interval from LMP was 20 to 30 days. Many (67%) women experience symptoms within 11 to 20 days of ovulation. Onset of nausea and vomiting occurs earlier than previously reported and there is a narrow window for onset of symptoms. From ovulation, symptoms start approximately two weeks earlier, and are more concentrated than from LMP. Two-thirds of women have onset within 11 to 20 days from ovulation day, and only 5% have earlier onset. The median from ovulation to symptom onset is 16 days and from LMP is 32 days. Symptoms start slightly earlier for women with higher BMI values, by about one day for an increase of 5 kg/m2. Symptoms start slightly later with increasing age, by almost one day for an increase of 3 years. Symptoms disappeared by week 7 from LMP for 20 (8%) of the volunteers, 11 of whom never vomited and 16 of whom had symptoms less than 2 hours per day. This paper describes for the first time the onset of symptoms of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy from the day of ovulation. The vast majority of women (94%) experienced symptoms which started within a clear, narrow time window from ovulation. In particular, symptoms began between days 11 and 20 for 67% (n = 160) of the 241 participants with NVP. The close connection between onset of NVP symptoms and date of ovulation reinforces the theory that the aetiology of the condition is biological, rather than psychiatric, and is based on the emerging physiology at the foetal-maternal interface. Onset of symptoms of nausea or vomiting was earlier than reported in other articles: median from LMP at day 32, compared to day 57, 8 weeks or 5 weeks. The mean day of onset of NVP symptoms in this study is day 18 from ovulation, while from LMP it is day 34. Onset of NVP occurs earlier than previously reported and there is a narrow window for onset of symptoms from ovulation.

However, after around 22 weeks, up to 10% of women continue to have lingering symptoms. […] The cause of morning sickness is unknown but may relate to changing levels of estrogen and the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin. Some have proposed that morning sickness may be useful from an evolutionary point of view – it may protect both the pregnant woman and the developing embryo just when the fetus is most vulnerable. […] If morning sickness is a defense mechanism against the ingestion of toxins, the prescribing of anti-nausea medication to pregnant women may have the undesired side effect of causing birth defects or miscarriages by encouraging harmful dietary choices. […] Morning sickness may be an evolved trait that protects the fetus against toxins ingested by the mother.
  • #47 Morning sickness is Mother Nature’s way of protecting mothers and their unborn, Cornell biologists find | Cornell Chronicle

    Aversion to and avoidance of certain foods also peaks during the first trimester for many pregnant women. The most-observed aversion was to meats, fish, poultry and eggs the foods that were more likely to carry harmful microorganisms and parasites before the advent of modern refrigeration and food-handling processes. […] The Cornell biologists emphasize that their findings on the usefulness of morning sickness should not alarm women without NVP. […] Our analysis of thousands of pregnancies shows that most women in Western societies bear healthy babies whether or not they experience morning sickness. The lack of NVP symptoms does not portend pregnancy failure any more than experiencing NVP guarantees that the pregnancy will have a positive outcome. […] Attempting to alleviate the symptoms of „normal” (not severe) NVP probably will not improve the outcome of a pregnancy and could have the opposite effect if treatment interferes with the expulsion or avoidance of potentially dangerous foods. […] Encouraging women to eat foods they dislike during pregnancy will not improve the pregnancy outcome and could increase the embryo’s exposure to pathogens and harmful chemicals.
  • #48 Severity and duration of nausea and vomiting symptoms in pregnancy and spontaneous abortion

    Lack of NVP symptoms was associated with increased risk for SAB [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 3.2, 95% confidence interval (CI): (2.4, 4.3)], compared with having any symptoms. […] The absence of NVP symptoms is associated with an increased risk of early pregnancy loss. As symptom duration decreases, the likelihood of early loss increases, especially among women in the oldest maternal age group. […] The overall mean symptom duration was eight gestational weeks. […] When vomiting was at its worst, 51% reported vomiting once a day and 13% reported having more than three vomiting episodes daily. […] Week-specific conditional probability of SAB by NVP status and symptom duration is shown in Fig. 1. There was a 3- to 10-fold increase in risk of first trimester pregnancy loss for women without NVP symptoms, compared with women who experienced some NVP symptoms; however, the risk of SAB for women without NVP symptoms reverts to the baseline risk after the first trimester.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3140259/
    Compared with women with nausea and vomiting, the OR for no NVP symptom and SAB increased with increasing maternal age, from an OR of 4.0 [95% CI: (2.1, 7.6)] for women 25 years old to an OR of 11.7 [95% CI: (4.5, 26.7)] for women 35 years and older (likelihood ratio test P 0.0001). […] Our findings also provided insights into the contribution of maternal age in the etiology of SAB. The effects of symptom severity and duration were found to be different across maternal age groups. […] In conclusion, we found, as have others, the presence of NVP decreases the risk of SAB, with this decrease higher in women 30 years and older. We also found that the effect of symptom duration is greatest among that group.

    Symptoms of nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy (NVP) are common among pregnant women, but whether some women are more likely than others to experience these symptoms has not been well established. […] Eighty-nine percent of women had NVP; for 99% of these, symptoms started in the first trimester. […] Most pregnant women experienced NVP. Nearly all of them, regardless of characteristics examined, had symptoms beginning in the first trimester.
