Pregnancy Morning Sickness - Take It In Your Stride

The word “pregnancy morning sickness” is actually very misleading. Morning sickness or nausea may affect a pregnant woman anytime during the day. At least fifty percent of pregnant women experience nausea, an important yet scary early pregnancy symptom while some just don’t experience it, they are luckier perhaps.
Vomiting or nausea during pregnancy as it is commonly called may occur during the first trimester for a pregnant woman. You may experience relief from morning sickness after around 14 weeks but you never know it may keep visiting you throughout your pregnancy.

Cause Of Morning Sickness:
As you prepare for the arrival of a new baby many physical changes are taking place in your body and probably a combination of these changes causes morning sickness. • During pregnancy a woman seems to have a very high sensitivity to strong odors. • Some people believe that morning sickness is caused by Vitamin B deficiency. Though taking Vitamin B6 supplement gives morning sickness relief the actual reason why is still unknown. • In case you had it during a previous pregnancy
Avoid discomforting odors, eat frequent meals, drink liquids between meals not immediately after a meal and an important point is never keep your stomach empty. Eat simple food do not have spicy, fried, heavy foods which may enhance your nausea.
Some More Morning Sickness Cures That Can Help You Feel Better
Along with watching what you eat, and avoiding smells that trigger your nausea, there are some other tips you can try to help bring your symptoms to a more manageable level.
• Sleeping is one of the most important things you can do in your first trimester. Your body is undergoing so many changes, and your baby will develop so rapidly in these first few weeks, that you are going to feel extreme fatigue. Don't fight it. If you need a nap - go and take one! (Just make sure you haven't just had something to eat that can lay in your stomach and make you feel worse!) Being tired is one of the worst things for morning sickness. You aren't doing yourself or your baby any favours by trying to do too much and not admitting you need a rest.
• When you take your prenatal vitamins, try taking them with food. Some women also find that when they take them at bedtime they feel less sick. The body has time to absorb the nutrients over night. Also, you may need a vitamin with less iron in it as this can be very irritating to the intestines.
• Drink a lot of water throughout the day, but not at meal times. Don't let yourself drink so much that your stomach feels full. Try to just sip on the water over the course of the day. If throwing up has become frequent, you might consider drinking a drink with electrolytes and nutrients in it to help replace any that you may have lost.
Don't let it get you down - there are morning sickness cures available and you can feel better. It may be hard to believe right now, but give everything you can a try (as long as it is safe for you and the baby!). Take the time to find something that works for you, and that makes you feel that happy glow you were so hoping to feel!
