Belinda Addi, a midwife at Joma Health Centre in the Ga West District, has advised pregnant women to promptly report cases of severe vomiting to prevent malnourishment and preterm births.
She identified Hyperemesis Gravidarum, the most extreme form of vomiting during pregnancy, as a condition affecting "one to three out of a hundred pregnant women," often leading to fainting, dehydration, fatigue, and weight loss.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, Ms.
Addi explained that the symptoms could be very uncomfortable, but treatments were available when reported at the hospital.
