Morning Sickness Facts and Relief

If you are in your first trimester of pregnancy, chances are, you still get that feeling of nausea and vomiting. Although this is commonly referred to as morning sickness, it can happen at any time of the day or night. Do not worry about morning sickness too much because it is being experienced by approximately 80% of all pregnant women. By the end of the first trimester, you should be feeling better without any of the symptoms and you should be able to go about your work without any problems.

The cause of morning sickness is primarily because of hormonal imbalances of HCG (human chronic gonodotropin), estrogen and progesterone. Once they stabilize (by the end of the first trimester), the symptoms decrease and eventually disappear.

To help you go through the day, there are several proven and effective methods to reduce or alleviate the feeling of morning sickness. Listed below are some of them. Remember though that each pregnancy is different and the items below may or may not work in your case :

1. Eat less but often: Do not gobble up your food in one sitting. Eating three square meals a day is not recommended for most pregnant women experiencing morning sickness. You would be better off if you eat six to eight small meals a day.

2. Avoid the smell: Strong perfumes, colognes, spices and food condiments will only make your symptoms worse. Avoid these.

3. Keep a pack of crackers: Always have a pack of crackers ready for nibbling. Keep it beside your bed or inside your bag. Take a small bite whenever, wherever.

4. Other foods: If crackers are not appealing to you, you can try bagels, mints, bagels and pretzels.

5. Doctor recommended vitamins: Your doctor may have given you prenatal vitamins to help your body cope with your pregnancy. Make sure that you take your vitamins during your meals instead of taking them with an empty stomach.

Morning sickness is perfectly normal and should not be a cause for alarm unless you are already experiencing dehydration and sudden weight loss. In which case, you should already consult your doctor for medical treatment and relief.
