What can pregnant women eat to relieve severe vomiting?

During pregnancy, due to the increase of estrogen in the pregnant woman's body, morning sickness will occur in the early stages of pregnancy, which will generally get better after 14 weeks. At this time, you don’t need to eat greasy food containing kitchen fumes. You can use a microwave to heat your meals to reduce morning sickness caused by fumes. You can eat more acidic and alkaline foods, such as oranges and plums. Vitamin B6 can also stop vomiting.

1. Snacks at night

Place some cookies and other simple snacks on your bed. When the pregnant mother wakes up, she can eat a few cookies first, then rest for 20-30 minutes before waking up. If pregnant mothers wake up at night and feel nauseous, they can eat some cookies to relieve the pain.

2. Eat cold drinks

Try eating foods that are cool or at room temperature, as the flavors won't be as noticeable as hot foods.

3. Drink more water

Although drinking plenty of water is very important to prevent dehydration, pregnant mothers should not drink it all at once and fill the stomach, because in this way the stomach will not be able to hold other anti-vomiting foods. If you vomit a lot, try a sports drink that contains glucose, salt, and potassium, which can help you replenish lost electrolytes.

In the early stages of pregnancy, the human chorionic gonadotropin secreted by the villi during the combination of sperm and egg increases, and this male hormone will be absorbed by the pregnant mother. Male hormones are metabolized more in the early stages, causing expectant mothers to have significant morning sickness starting at five or six weeks of pregnancy. The increase in estrogen during this stage may also be a trigger for morning sickness.

During pregnancy, pregnant women will become extremely sensitive to various smells. They will immediately smell some smells from far away places or some smells that are not very obvious, and then they will feel nauseous or vomit.
