Abstract

Emesis gravidarum is a symptom of nausea and vomiting that appears in early pregnancy. This symptom appears when there is an increase in the amount of estrogen and progesterone hormones in the placental serum by Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), which functions in the endocrine system. Emesis gravidarum is a common occurrence in early pregnancy and is one of the symptoms of pregnancy. Starting at 10 weeks, and about 6 weeks after LMP, nausea can occur at any time, not just in the morning. If emesis gravidarum is not treated immediately or continues to occur, it can cause hyperemesis gravidarum, which has a negative impact on the mother and fetus, such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, acidosis, and shock. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of giving lavender aromatherapy to pregnant women in the first trimester who experience emesis gravidarum. Data were obtained through participatory methods, interviews, and actions. The subjects taken were 2 respondents of first trimester pregnant women who experienced emesis gravidarum. The action was carried out for 1 week with 2 administrations every day. The results of the study showed that there was a decrease in the level of nausea in both respondents, as evidenced by a decrease in the feeling of wanting to vomit, a decrease in the amount of saliva, improved pallor, and improved appetite after being given lavender aromatherapy. Conclusion: There is an effect of giving lavender aromatherapy on reducing the frequency of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women in the first trimester who experience emesis gravidarum.
