Morning Sickness
Beverley Brooke
Morning sickness should be referred to as all day sickness. While
some women will sail through pregnancy with nary a symptom of
nausea, others will find themselves severely ill for weeks on
end.
Morning sickness is actually a misnomer. It can strike at any
time any day for several days at a time. Most women will
experience morning sickens during their first trimester, when
hormone levels are rapidly rising to prepare the body to carry
your baby to term.
Morning sickness can be worse in the morning, usually because you
have an empty stomach. However it is not uncommon for it to
strike midday or even in the evening. For an unfortunate few, the
feelings of nauseousness that accompany pregnancy sometimes last
well into the third trimester.
The good news is that there are a number of easy things you can
do to help minimize the symptoms of morning sickness:
Eat several small meals per day. This will prevent sickness that
is associated with an empty stomach.
Avoid high fat and greasy foods. These foods often contribute to
increased feelings of nausea and vomiting.
Sip on some carbonated water. The fizziness of the water often
helps relieve morning sickness. Better yet, squeeze some fresh
lemon into the water. This is very helpful for alleviating
morning sickness.
Chew on some ginger. Ginger is a natural remedy long used to help
combat nausea.
Have some crackers by the bed. Many women feel nausea is worse in
the morning because their stomach is empty. Try chewing a few
crackers and sipping some water before you get up out of bed in
the morning.
