I work at the European Institute for Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Surrey and undertake research in the area of nutrition related to pregnancy. One of my PhD students is doing some research into nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. We are investigating the reasons why NVP is associated with a favourable outcome of pregnancy, looking particularly at effects on appetite and factors which might stimulate placental growth. We would like to gather information and anecdotal evidence about those foods (and other factors) which affect the degree of nausea in pregnancy (either increasing or decreasing discomfort) and those foods etc for which women have cravings or aversions. This is to help in the design of a questionnaire investigating nutrient intake in women with NVP. If you could reply directly to me with any information, I will compile a synopsis of the information received and post it on the list.
