Abstract
Our present-day understanding of vomiting of pregnancy is a result of the perspectives opened up by psychosomatic medicine. The relationship between vomiting and the attitude toward the child were studied in 100 primiparous women, of whom 68 suffered from vomiting. Verbally expressed attitudes were studied by semistructured interviews.The results show a positive relationship between vomiting and ambivalence of attitude on the part of mother toward child.Keywords
