YouTube as a source of (mis)information for morning sickness self-help – A content analysis and literature review of recommendations for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy
Women who seek NVP relief on YouTube are exposed to a wide variety of recommendations to reduce their symptoms. However, only few of these are evidence-based, and some may even be dangerous. Overall, there is a lack of research on effective non-pharmacological interventions for NVP relief. This highlights the need for improved guidance and dissemination of evidence-based interventions for NVP online.
