Why morning Sickness Survival Tips

"Just eat a few saltines and you'll be fine". I don’t know about you, but as someone who suffered from chronic morning sickness, the worst (I lovingly call it morning and night sickness), when I heard someone say this, I just wanted to pull her away! If you suffer from nausea and vomiting, you are not alone. Most women experience it to some degree during their first trimester. If you are one of the unfortunate few whose symptoms last longer than the usual 6-12 weeks, I sympathize. I have had the same experience with all 4 pregnant women. I have learned a few things that have helped me, and I hope you can find relief from these tips. 1) Controlling your blood sugar is very important # 1. Another idea of ​​why morning sickness is worse in the morning (and for some women it only happens there) is because when you wake up, you have low blood sugar. For one pregnant woman, staying 8 hours without food is a bad idea. You may find it helpful to eat a low-protein snack before going to bed, even eating small meals each time you get up at night to go to the bathroom. (It may at first be so!) Personally, I found that what I did first thing in the morning was very important. I had to eat a few meals * while sleeping *. So I put food on a plate next to my bed or ask my husband to bring me a light breakfast. Do not jump out of bed. Eat your light snack and sleep quietly for a few minutes afterwards. Get up slowly and head for the kitchen to eat some more. Also, emphasize protein. 2) Avoid foods that cause rapid blood sugar levels. Fruit juice, sugary snacks, whole grains (the type that comes in a box), anything made with white flour, etc ... these foods cause your blood sugar to rise rapidly and break down, causing nausea and vomiting. Eat protein foods and whole foods. Meat, cheese, yoghurt (beware of plain yoghurt with frozen berries mixed in. Most yoghurt has a lot of sugar in it.), Eggs, nuts, nuts, vegetables, and whole grains should be your staple food. Even if the food does not appeal to you, forcing yourself to eat a low-protein diet every 2 hours will help prevent vomiting. Do not leave the house without a snack. 3) If drinking water makes you very sick, try these alternatives. It is very important that you stay hydrated. You will need extra fluid to support pregnancy, but many women find that drinking water makes them very nauseous. Other things to try: Smoothies made from fruit, ice and just yogurt or kefir. The bitter taste of these two dairy products has really struck me. They also sneak in and add extra protein. The water is sprayed VERY cold with lemon juice or lime. Carbonated water contains a small amount of fruit juice for flavor. Freshly brewed tea or hot tea with lemon. A small amount of caffeine will not harm your baby. Something about the bitter tannins in tea can help alleviate nausea. Orange fruit and watermelons. 4) Avoid things that cause nausea as much as possible. Your nose is hyperdrive during your pregnancy! Bad smells like poopy diaper, kitchen garbage, and even the morning air may not be completely safe, but try your best to avoid smelly situations. Ask someone to remove the trash. Ask hubby to change your toddler at home. There is very little he can do! Also, do not be ashamed to tell someone who has a bad temper, harmful smells or smells of cigarettes that you are in critical condition and need fresh air. During my pregnancy, my husband had to switch to a deodorant and soap, otherwise I could not hug him! If the smell of cooking makes you sick, take a break from your usual garlic and onion items. Do not be a martyr. Hubby will understand that you can’t make his favorite sausage and pepper for a while. Prepare odorless food in the kitchen. A large green bowl salad with cold, chopped chicken, beef or boiled eggs. The sandwiches are also good. 5) Try Aromatherapy Put a few drops of lavender, mint or lemon essential oil (these oils are often considered safe to use during pregnancy) in cotton balls and store them in various places ... in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in your bag and and in the car. Take a deep breath when you feel sick. Put a few drops on your pillow. 6) Take it easy- but don't forget the exercise I know, I know… Exercise is the last thing you want to do when you can get your face out of the toilet! But if you force yourself to go ten minutes out every day, IT WILL help you. But try to relax, avoid as much stress as possible, and relax as much as you can. She does the most important work of raising a child. Explain to your other children why you feel bad and that it will not last forever. Call for help and ask friends to come and play with your 2-year-old child to sleep, or ask them to cook more when they make dinner and bring you food. If you feel nauseous, try lying down for a few minutes in a dark room with your eyes closed. Sometimes when you do this the episode will pass. 7) Focus on the good Sometimes when you are very sad it is easy to forget what makes you so sick! Remember that statistically, women who experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy are more likely to carry the pregnancy in due course. One of my midwives told me that she was always worried when Mom came in so she could feel happy when she was pregnant… the chances of her having a miscarriage are very high. So enjoy your strong hormones! Read pregnancy magazines, birth news online, browse catalogs of maternity outfits, do whatever you need to do to be happy and find yourself in a position to have a new baby. 8) Much More. Tips Try eating ginger candy or ginger ginger tea. I found ginger in capsules is very harsh and very painful when it comes back. Brewer's yeast pills work for some Moms. Try
