Pregnancy Nausea

Nausea in pregnancy starts from the first trimester itself. So you need to prepare yourself for feeling quite sick. The nausea continues from the 6th week to the 12th week, when it usually stops, though many women have been known to experience it till the third trimester. This is because each pregnancy is different, and the symptoms may vary. Surely you are also experiencing a fair share of nausea during your pregnancy. This is more commonly referred to as morning sickness, though the sickness is not limited to the morning, it may occur at all times of the day! The nausea is caused due to fluctuations in hormonal levels of your body – especially estrogen and progesterone. But you would be pleased to know that there are simple yet effective ways to deal with the morning sickness, so you don’t need to sit and worry.

For instance, when you wake up in the morning, the first thing you should have is a piece of dry toast, or even a few saltine crackers. In fact, it would be a good idea to keep these beside your bed, so that if you get up during the night, you can munch on them – this prevents you from waking up with an empty stomach, which leads to low blood sugar, which in turn causes nausea. So it might be a good idea to have a high protein snack last thing at night, and having a few crackers if you wake up during the night to go to the bathroom. When you wake up, remember to get up slowly, as quick movements may trigger the nausea. Stay away from large, heavy meals. Instead, it’s a better idea to eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day, be sure to space them out properly. We suggest snacking at least every 2 hours, and increasing your fluid intake. However, don’t drink water during meals, keep the water to afterwards. Sometimes, even water may trigger feelings of acute nausea, so in this case you can have water laced with lemon essence, or even suck on ice cubes made from frozen fruit juice.

Do take care of your diet. It’s important that you eat foods high in protein and complex carbohydrates – like apple slices, cottage cheese, crackers, yoghurt, peanut butter, celery, nuts, cheese, milk, etc. Stay away from foods that are high in fat content, and also reduce your intake of greasy, fried foods – as these will make you feel sick. Also, did you know that ginger is a very effective remedy against nausea? Well, you can up your intake of ginger by having ginger candy, or ginger tea, or even ginger soda. We recommend wearing acupressure wrist bands, which you would be able to find in all drug stores and health stores- these have been known to help with morning sickness. You could even try acupuncture, though if you are considering this, it is essential to talk to your doctor and ask him to recommend acupuncturists who are trained in working with pregnant women.
