Hyperemesis gravidarum: Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

The cardinal symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum are unremitting nausea and vomiting. The vomitus initially contains undigested food and mucus as well as small amounts of bile; later, only bile and mucus; and finally, blood and material that resembles coffee grounds. Persistent vomiting causes substantial weight loss and eventual emaciation. Associated effects may include pale, dry, waxy, and possibly jaundiced skin; subnormal or elevated temperature; rapid pulse; a fetid, fruity breath odor from acidosis; and central nervous system symptoms, such as confusion, delirium, headache, lassitude, stupor and, possibly, coma.
