Why does a pregnant woman retch but not vomit?

Many pregnant women experience nausea during pregnancy, but don't worry, because this is a normal reaction to early pregnancy and will generally disappear around 12 weeks of pregnancy. During pregnancy, you should try to maintain a happy mood, increase the intake of nutrients, and go to a regular hospital for regular prenatal checkups. Let's take a look at what to do if you vomit during pregnancy.

What to do if you are retching but not vomiting during pregnancy

1. Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy are all normal physiological needs unique to pregnant women. Early pregnancy reactions usually occur around 6 weeks of pregnancy and subside and disappear on their own around 12 weeks of pregnancy. Most pregnant women can bear it, and it has little impact on their daily life and work, and no special treatment is needed.

2. In order to prevent or reduce gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea and vomiting, you can eat small meals frequently, pay attention to a light diet, and avoid eating greasy and irritating foods. But you must insist on eating, otherwise it will affect your health and be detrimental to fetal development.

How to relieve retching during pregnancy

1. Mental relaxation is more important than anything else. If the emotional stress is too great, the pregnancy reaction will be more serious. Morning sickness is a normal phenomenon. As long as it is within the normal range, there is no need to worry about causing adverse effects on the fetus. Master some relative scientific and technological knowledge, communicate more with mothers around you, learn from each other, and eliminate mental stress. You can also communicate more with your regular physical examination doctor, tell the doctor about your condition, and see if it is necessary to undergo corresponding treatment for morning sickness.

2. Don’t push yourself. Try to avoid foods or flavors that may make you feel sick. If a pregnant woman feels as if she feels nauseous after eating anything, don't worry, eat things that can stimulate her appetite, even if these foods cannot make her nutritionally balanced. No matter what it is, it is much better to eat a little bit than to eat a large meal and then throw it all up.

Vomiting and nausea during pregnancy are normal phenomena. There is no need to panic. It will not have a significant impact on your daily life and work, so no special treatment is needed. As long as you participate in some brisk activities in moderation, such as outdoor walking, prenatal exercises, etc., they can improve your mood and strengthen your body, and the symptoms of early pregnancy will also be alleviated to a certain extent.
