Pride Of The Web –

While “morning sickness” does tend to be more intense upon waking and shortly thereafter, the fact is that nausea during pregnancy can be experienced during any time of the day, as many women will attest. About three of every four women are affected by nausea, vomiting, or both, usually starting around week 6 of the pregnancy, with full relief coming between weeks 14 and 18; some unlucky women, however, suffer nausea and/or vomiting throughout the pregnancy.Morning sickness may be common, and it may not “last forever,” but that doesn’t mean it should go untreated or unregarded.

While each woman is different, and the causes for nausea are still not clearly understood, likely culprits include physical, hormonal, and psychological factors.The most important of these is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG, or the pregnancy hormone), whose rising levels tend to match rising feelings of nausea and vice versa; another important hormone is estrogen, which has been shown to increase sensitivity to aromas.

It is also believed by some researchers that women whose bodies normally react to stress with vomiting or “feeling sick” are more likely to experience morning sickness as a reaction to the stress of pregnancy.Generations of women swear by certain strategies to bring nausea relief; while these have not been scientifically confirmed, they remain potential, non-medication options for you to try.

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.It’s a smart rule of thumb for pregnant women to take their time in the mornings, and not get up right away.

Foods that are rich (fatty or fried), or spicy or acidic are often nausea and vomiting triggers; however, some studies show relief with high-protein foods (though women tend to crave high-carbohydrate ones) – so experiment.Do not force yourself to eat or be around foods that cause nausea, even if that means having a rather limited diet. You’ll want to try to eat fairly bland foods, and also to eat them while they are at room temperature or even cold, because hot foods have stronger odors.

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.

Other strategies include avoiding non-food triggers like being in the car or around heavy perfumes, as well as taking your prenatal vitamins with food or just before bed, acupressure bands, or even hypnosis.There is no need for you to suffer undue nausea and vomiting if these natural strategies do not provide relief; talk with your doctor about possibly using some sort of safe anti-emetic (anti-nausea) medication to achieve relief.
