Show Me the Science with Luke O'Neill · The Science of Morning Sickness · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

And the stomach lining and maybe trigger a slight feeling of unease and nausea is one thing. voice-verified

And then very importantly, human carionic canadotrophic uh hormone. voice-verified

That's the key one. voice-verified

HCG. voice-verified

Now that's a well-known hormone, goes up during pregnancy, is very important for the pregnancy process. voice-verified

The level of that seems to correlate with severity. voice-verified

So the more HCG you have, the more severe the symptoms are. voice-verified

And the wondering is that driving it somehow? voice-verified

There's no direct link from that into feeling nauseous, and I'm going to come up with the breakthrough in a minute that you'll hear does connect into that. voice-verified

So HGG could just be an indicator. voice-verified

overall of something else. voice-verified

But still they know they notice that the H E G levels do seem to correlate with the level of severity of that particular condition. voice-verified

So there seems to be something like um some hormonal fluxes are happening that are promoting this. voice-verified

So for the vast majority, having a bit of morning sickness. voice-verified

And nausea and vomiting doesn't uh doesn't damage the fetus very importantly. voice-verified

So again, it's not really uh seen as that serious a thing then because the risk of miscarriage is much lower. voice-verified

It's very important to make that point. voice-verified

Um unless you get the very severe form, as I say, the hyperemesis form. voice-verified
