Take home messages:

  • Standard investigations include FBC, UEC, LFT, TFTs, urinalysis and obstetric ultrasound
  • In severe cases, consider secondary causes of vomiting such as urosepsis, GI or neurological pathology
  • Dietary advice, ginger and P6 acupressure have mixed evidence but are unlikely to do harm
  • Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and doxylamine have the best evidence for safety and efficacy and should be used first line
  • Second line options include metoclopramide, prochlorperazine and promethazine which are all considered safe in early pregnancy
  • If significant ketonuria, electrolyte imbalance or dehydration, refer for intravenous hydration, parenteral anti-emetics and thiamine
