Usefull Tips on How to Prevent Morning Nausea and Sickness

The nausea of pregnancy is usually experienced more intensely in the morning; however, the term “morning sickness” is misleading as many pregnant women experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting at any point during the day.Nausea and/or vomiting tends to begin around week six and last through about week 14 or 18; while this is the case for the majority of women who experience symptoms (about 75% of all pregnant women report morning sickness), there are a few who continue to have them throughout the pregnancy. But, no matter how long the symptoms last, it is an unpleasant condition which should not be dismissed just because it is common or temporary.

The causes for nausea during pregnancy are not clearly understood, but is likely caused by a combination of hormonal, psychological, and physical factors that will vary from woman to woman.The most notorious of these is hCG, the pregnancy hormone (human chorionic gonadotropin), which is responsible for many changes in the body and is closely linked with nausea levels; estrogen and its ability to increase sensitivty to smell also likely plays an important role.

If a woman normally “feels sick” (nauseated) or even throws up when she is stressed, some researchers feel that it is therefore to be expected that she would do the same during pregnancy.There are many steps you can take to try to achieve some degree of relief from the nausea, without using medication; while these are not scientifically-supported measures, they are time-tested strategies that women swear by.

Avoid letting your stomach get so empty it growls – you should eat frequently during the day so there’s always “something in there”; be sure to keep some crackers by your bed so you can have something when you wake up.Give your stomach a chance to settle by staying in bed for another twenty to thirty minutes, and then slowly get up – it is likely you’ll experience less nausea.In general, pregnant women will want to be slow and easy getting out of bed in the mornings.

Nausea is often triggered by strong foods, like spicy, acidic, or rich (fried or fatty) items; you should experiment with high-carbohydrate and high-protein options and see if one kind is better at relieving (or at least not causing) nausea.If a food makes you feel nauseous, don’t eat it – even if this means you eat a very limited variety of foods, it’s better than forcing yourself and getting sick after.Avoid eating foods while hot, since they have stronger odors; eat them cold or at room temperature, and try to choose bland foods overall.

You must drink plenty of fluids, for good health and to counteract vomiting – but be sure not to have too many liquids at meals, as you’ll likely be too full; good beverage choices include ginger tea or ginger ale (real ginger works against nausea), sports drinks, and cold, carbonated beverages.

There are many other actions you can take, like taking your vitamins at the end of the day or with food, using acupressure bands or hypnosis, and being careful to avoid non-food triggers like strong odors and car rides.Remember, just because morning sickness is common or temporary, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek relief; if none of these or other strategies work for you, talk with your doctor about potentially treating your nausea with medication.
