Nausea and Vomiting

By -
Usually called “morning sickness,” nausea and vomiting are common during early pregnancy and go away after first trimester. For many women, it isn’t limited to just morning and last throughout the day. Nausea creates loss of appetite & may result in weight loss. Nausea does not affect the baby in any way as the fetus is protected in the womb.

Here are some of these tips to control your nausea:-
Ø Get out of bed slowly. Sit for a few moments before standing
Ø Eat crackers or toast as soon as you wake up... try Graham crackers or Wheat thins
Ø Eat frequent small meals (6 to 8 meals a day, rather than 3 large meals)
Ø Consume ginger products such as such as ginger tea, ginger candy, ginger soda/gingerale or lemon+ginger water
Ø Take your Prenatal vitamins in the night
Ø Stay hydrated with fluids and eat lots of fruits
Ø Slowly sip a Soda (sprite with Lemon)
Ø Do not force yourself to eat anything, eat whatever pleases your palate
Ø Get plenty of rest
Ø Avoid fatty, fried or spicy foods
