It is possible that we overestimated treatments used for NVP/HG, considering antiemetics have multiple indications, but we think this is unlikely, as we assessed differential diagnoses for each consultation where antiemetics were prescribed and carefully excluded prescriptions for treating other conditions, including corticosteroids used for asthma, Crohn's disease, and other auto‐immune conditions.
This article reviews the management of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, with attention to pharmacologic and alternative management strategies and nutritional support. For live births, a probabilistic matching algorithm was employed to link each mother's pregnancy records to the corresponding children by matching each delivery date to a child's estimated birth date or HES birth admission and ensuring they had matching a household code, a unique identifier indicating which individuals in each practice live together.
However, secondary care prescribing was not available and although discharge prescriptions are usually in short supply, results on prescribing after admission need to be interpreted cautiously. Although primary care prescribing has increased, most women admitted to hospital have no antiemetics prescribed before this.
Some antihistamines are available without prescription; however, we do not think this underestimated prescriptions, as no antiemetics were licensed for use in pregnancy in England during the study period, and pregnant women receive free prescriptions from their GP. Stress or fatigue is suggested to cause a physical reaction within the body, leading to nausea and vomiting.

Executive summary of recommendations Diagnosis of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) How is NVP diagnosed?
Multinomial logistic regression was employed to estimate adjusted relative risk ratios (aRRRs) with 99% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between NVP/HG management paths and maternal characteristics.NVP/HG diagnoses, treatments, and hospital admissions.Overall prevalence of clinically recorded NVP/HG was 9.1%: 2.1% had hospital admissions, 3.4% were treated with antiemetics in primary care only, and 3.6% had only recorded diagnoses. NVP should only be diagnosed when onset is in the first trimester of pregnancy and other causes of nausea and vomiting …
