Abstract

Background: Between 60% and 70% of primigravida pregnant women experience emesis gravidarum in the first trimester, and between 40% and 60% of multigravida pregnant women experience it. Approximately 25% of pregnant women experience early vomiting problems that require time off from work. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 12.5% of all pregnancies worldwide are affected by HG, with varying incidence rates ranging from 10.8% in China, 2.2% in Pakistan, 1.9% in Turkey, 0.9% in Norway, 0.8% in Canada, 0.5% in California, and 0.3% in Sweden. Meanwhile, the incidence of HG in Indonesia ranges from 1-3% of all pregnancies. Non-pharmacological measures often recommended by health workers include advising pregnant women to consume warm ginger drinks.
