What is nausea?
It’s feeling of uneasiness that makes you urge to vomit. It’s not always necessary that one vomits.
In pregnancy this feeling is stronger in morning. The reasons given are hormonal changes. As I am not a doctor (I am just a doctor's wife), so I am not going to go into the details. I had severe nausea and vomits till the 5thmonth and then it reduced gradually. But, the degree of nausea differs from body to body.
Few things that can help you deal with this problem - Do’s
- As soon as you wake up in the morning, eat something. Don’t keep yourself starving.
- If you have a habit to start your day with tea, change it now. Either skip it or add some toast or biscuits with it and even ginger tea can help you but my mom used to say take ginger tea only in colder climate so I avoid it in the summers.
- It’ll be great if you take an apple early morning and even before going to bed coz this will help clean your stomach and keeps you energetic.
- Citrus fruits are a great help in feeling of nausea. I always used to eat or chew lemon or orange slices whenever I felt nausea.
- Place potato chips or crackers near your bed so that whenever u feel hungry, you can eat them. This can suppress vomit but remember excess of anything is harmful, so just take few bites.
- Try to get up during night to eat something so that u may not feel too sick and weak in the morning.
Dont's:
- Stay way from strong smells.
- Don’t starve at all.
- Stay away from spicy food, colas and caffeine.
- Don’t get over-tired.
- Stay away from stress.
