The news of a long-awaited pregnancy is often overshadowed by the appearance of toxicosis. This condition is typical for the first trimester. You can cope with the signs of auto-poisoning using available methods.

- inflammatory processes of the genital organs;
- improper nutrition;
- the emotional state of the pregnant woman.
Pungent odors, lack of sleep, frequent overwork of the body, decreased immune defense in case of colds, etc., negatively affect the intensity of toxicosis.
