What Really Causes Morning Sickness? 🤰

Facts
• The main trigger is a hormone called hCG, produced after implantation.
• Rising estrogen and progesterone can affect digestion and cause nausea.
• A stronger sense of smell and slower stomach emptying can make symptoms worse.

Where the Myth Came From
• Some research suggests exposure to a partner’s semen before pregnancy may help the body adjust to genetic material, but that relates to immune response, not nausea.
• There is no strong scientific evidence that s***m causes morning sickness.

Interesting Note
• Higher hCG levels are linked to stronger nausea, which is why symptoms can be more intense with twins or certain pregnancies.

Did you know?

Your immune system does know your eyes exist, but certain parts of the eye are “immune-privileged,” meaning the body limits inflammation there to protect delicate vision tissues.

It’s not that your immune system ignores your eyes. It’s that it’s carefully regulated to avoid causing damage. However, if there’s injury or infection, immune responses can still activate.

Did You Know?

Many people don’t realize that in most kidney transplants, doctors leave the original kidneys in place and simply add the new one in the lower abdomen. This is usually safer and avoids extra surgical risk. The old kidneys are only removed if they cause complications like infection, tumors, or severe pain.

Did You Know? | Neighborhood Pharmacy Health Spotlight

Last year, a groundbreaking medical innovation changed lives in an incredible way. Scientists introduced a first-of-its-kind technology that allows a man living with ALS to speak in real time using brain-computer interface technology.

This advancement translates brain signals directly into speech, giving a voice back to someone who had lost the ability to communicate verbally. It’s a powerful reminder of how science, compassion, and innovation can work together to restore dignity and connection.

💊 At Neighborhood Pharmacy, we celebrate every step forward in healthcare because breakthroughs like these bring hope to families everywhere.
