Semen is the Cure for Morning Sickness???

Posted by Kevin Farrell on Jul 11, 2012 in Health | 7 comments

A new study suggests the key to avoiding morning sickness – or the cure for those afflicted with it – is devouring as much of your babydaddy’s semen as humanly possible.

So what does Gallup say is the real culprit behind nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy? Semen. More specifically, unfamiliar semen. To understand where he’s coming from, we need to think back to the maternal immune system’s response to the fetus. Because half of the DNA the fetus is carrying comes from the father, the mother’s body may initially treat the organism as foreign tissue or an infection. This response, Gallup says, triggers an immune reaction that is commonly experienced as nausea, vomiting, and malaise (aka morning sickness). The best cure for this type of sickness, says Gallup, is, strangely enough, the same thing as its cause.

The more exposure a woman has to her partner’s semen—that is to say, the more often she’s inseminated prior to conception and during the early stages of the pregnancy—the more tolerance her body develops to his genetic material. This tolerance generalizes to a tolerance for the fetus and leads to successful maternal immunosuppression—and subsequently allows her to feel less like an infected zombie with serious stomach troubles.

According to this study, lesbians undergoing artificial insemination are hit particularly hard by the morning sickness bus, as their bodies are rarely exposed to their donor’s goo.

But ladies, the jury is still out on whether or not you should begin bottling your partner’s spunk in gestation preparation.

Still, while it may very well work wonders in curtailing nausea and vomiting in your next pregnancy, it’s probably too early to suggest imbibing copious amounts of your partner’s semen, either vaginally or orally (there is some evidence, believe it or not, that fellatio may be just as effective as vaginal insemination for priming the woman’s body with the man’s protein, activating maternal immunosuppression in preparation for a child.)

So…uh…

Does this study make you sick to your stomach or are you hungry for more information on the topic?

This is great news for men and women everywhere. Except for those who cling to Biblical rules about sex and doctrines of wasted seed. They can keep getting sick.

Intriguing theory. I’d like to see more evidence to support it, though.

Well there isnt a thousand ways to prove it ….

Yeah, it’s really hard for me to buy this. Women on hormone replacement or some types of hormonal birth control experience “morning sickness” even when there’s no foreign genetic material to respond to, so I seriously doubt morning sickness is caused by some bizarre allergic reaction to the fetus.

Most medical professionals agree morning sickness is caused by estrogen levels (100 times higher than non-pregnancy), progesterone levels (which relax stomach and intestines, resulting in excess stomach acids and GERD), hypoglycemia (placenta may tax blood sugar levels), hCG (some experts suggest a link between high hCG and morning sickness), increased sense of smell (hyper-sensitivity to odors may overstimulate normal nausea triggers), and the evolutionary survival adaptation to protect mothers and babys from ingesting potential toxins (historically and pre-historically, toxins found in poultry, eggs, or meat and toxoplasmosis found in vegetables… as opposed to the foods women with morning sickness tend to crave that have lower contamination risks, like crackers, breads, rice, etc).After multiple pregnancies, with the same partner of 18 years, my experience doesn’t seem to support whatever Gallup is saying. It’s more that it’s my body’s response to the crazy new pregnancy hormones, which are independent from my husband’s jizz. I had NO morning sickness with my son, despite the fact my husband was traveling for work a lot back then and we didn’t have as much sex immediately before or during the early months of that pregnancy. However, with subsequent pregnancies, I’ve had varying amounts of morning sickness, even when my husband wasn’t traveling for work and we were having lots of sex both before conception and in the early months. My morning sickness seems to be worse with girl fetuses (perhaps tied to increased estrogen), and seems to be getting worse with each pregnancy, or as I age, or something.

Of course, I still think lots of exposure to your baby-daddy’s spunk can only be good for the relationship, so pregnant chicks should go for it, if that’s their thing!

Semen from intercourse doesn’t help with morning sickness. Trust me.

Yeah, on further reading, it’s a hypothesis put forward by a psychologist… not a scientist or medical doctor… and it’s completely untested. Still, I always say that more sex is better, so go for it! Just don’t expect it to keep you from having morning sickness. And with increased nausea and taste/odor sensitivities, it’s going to be hard to find enough empirical data on women in early pregnancy who can swallow…
