[edit] Odors and vegetables

Is there any credibility in claims that these cause morning sickness? --Eequor 22:02, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

yes, odors can causes morning sickness, and i should also note that the article seems to exclude morning sickness to only pregnant women, which is not true --thenetblob

But... if you're not pregnant it's simply called "nausea"... isn't it? I mean, I'm nauseas right now (because of going on the pill, so it's even the same cause) and I'm not pregnant, are you trying to say I have "morning sickness"? I'm confused. Kuronue 00:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

My theory is that the stomach of a pregnant woman is already upset when odors make it worse. I was looking at wikification and I see some rather serious treatments under the latin name. BTW, diluting jinjer with cabbage juice makes a lot of sense to me. The stuff is nearly tasteless when it's fresh, but it gains strength in flavour from jinjer in about three hours. Um...and to answer your question, since "the pill" is designed to mimic hormones during pregnancy, yes, what you hav is about the same thing.BrewJay (talk) 02:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Simple Error

Estrogen levels do not increase up to a hundredfold, but progesterone levels can.

[edit] Other mammals

Do other mammals (say, primates) get NVP? If not... what, we selected for this? 86.42.149.134 07:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

According to one article I saw, NVP has been selected, though it doesn't say whether humans or some earlier ancestor did the selecting - http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/May00/morning.sickness.hrs.html

[edit] Peak time

Is it true that morning sickness peaks week 5-7? I don't have the citation but week 7-9 is more likely.


i didnt puke till week 11, but that's original research, aint it?  :) 76.217.121.84 18:41, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Generally morning sickness Starts at week 5-7 and peaks around week 12. For the lucky ones. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.244.25.30 (talk) 22:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Human reproduction

I propose removing this article from Category:Human reproduction. I have proposed narrowing the scope of that category at Category talk:Human reproduction. Please comment on the category talk page. Lyrl Talk C 15:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewording

This sentence: "Foraging people are at an unusually high risk of ingesting plant toxins, due to wild plants being a substantially larger part of their diet than civilized people's" seems a little un-politically correct. The connotation of "civilized people" is throwing up red flags for me, as using that phrasing essentially implies that hunter-gatherers are savages. Though the terminology is accurate, I suppose, perhaps a better word choice is in order to help with the connotation issues. CrashCart9 12:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
