Peculiarities of electroencephalographic and emotional and personal characteristics of pregnant women with excessive vomiting

The aim of the study is to reveal comparative characteristics of electroencephalographic and emotional-personal characteristics of pregnant women with severe vomiting and with physiological gestation. Material and methods. An electroencephalographic and complex psychological examination of 84 women with a gestation period of 7–13 weeks was performed. The main group consisted of 45 pregnant women with a diagnosis of “severe vomiting of pregnant women”, and the comparison group — 39 women with uncomplicated gestation. Results. It has been proven that the recorded EEG parameters in women with a complicated pregnancy reflect their diencephalic nature. According to psychological testing, pregnant women with severe vomiting had high anxiety, tension, emotional instability, reduced adaptability to gestational processes, and lack of readiness for motherhood. Conclusion. It is assumed that the pathogenesis of severe vomiting of pregnant women is associated with impaired centralperipheral integration, contributing to the formation of maladaptive processes in the body of pregnant women
