Three Vital Questions About Morning Sickness or Nausea During Pregnancy

by WMMedia

Morning sickness is the commonest and the most dreaded pregnancy
symptom. According to a report published in British Medical
Journal in 2004, "Nausea and vomiting are the commonest symptoms
experienced in the first trimester of pregnancy." Well, the good
news is that not all women experience nausea during pregnancy
with the same severity. Some may feel sick in the morning or
start their day by puking, while some feel nausea, the whole day.

Why Does This Happen?

Don't go by the name "morning sickness." It can happen any time
of the day. Although hormonal changes are blamed for this
condition, medical experts have yet to find the exact cause of
this nasty symptom. It has been found that the level of pregnancy
hormone named human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and estrogen
rise during the initial three months. They decrease at the same
time when nausea starts to fade.

Is There A Need To Call A Doctor?

You need not call your doctor for mild morning sickness. It's a
temporary phase that will pass away with the first trimester.

You need medical intervention if.

*You vomit excessively and lose much fluids as well as important
minerals and nutrients

*You are dehydrated after vomiting

*You are suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, which is
disturbance in fluid and electrolyte due to vomiting. In this
case, you need to be hospitalized.

*you notice weight loss

*you vomit several times during a day and for several days

*your vomit is brownish in color or accompanied with blood

*your urine seems concentrated and dark in color

How To Handle Morning Sickness Effectively?

Here are certain tips to tackle nausea during pregnancy:

*Eat a cracker before you retire to bed.

*Keep some snack at your bedside. In case you wake up at night,
you can munch on them; *his keeps nausea at bay.

*Don't jump out of bed in the morning. Take your time to get up
after you wake up.

*Munch a dry cracker or something similar the first thing in the
morning.

*Eat several small meals throughout the day. Don't keep your
stomach completely empty.

*Avoid spicy and fatty foods.

*Drink lots of liquids. (Plain water is the best)

*Cut your caffeine intake.

*Make crackers, dry toast and other such stuff, your handy
snacks.

*Eat protein-rich snacks.

*Ginger tea helps. Drink it everyday.

*If you find your nose getting sensitive to smells, stop
sniffing at foods! Jokes apart; avoid steaming foods, as they
spread aroma. Try cold foods instead.

*Don't hit the bed as soon as you finish your meal.

*A cat nap during the day is good for you.

*Breathe fresh air, take a walk down the road; it will lighten
up your mood.

*Indulge in light exercise. (Always consult your doctor before
starting any exercise.)

*Smile a lot!

Morning sickness is not an ogre. It's just your body trying to
adjust to change.
