1. What to do if you vomit when brushing your teeth during pregnancy

Due to the stimulation of toothpaste when brushing teeth and the high level of HCG in the body during early pregnancy, it is normal for pregnant women to have early pregnancy reactions. Almost all pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy often feel nauseous and vomiting, especially at the beginning of the day.

Vomiting in early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to be overly nervous. It usually has little impact on your health and does not require treatment. Just keep a happy mood, stable emotions and get enough rest. For most people, these symptoms disappear on their own after 12 weeks. Of course, pregnant women who vomit extremely severely and vomit everything they eat will have their metabolism disrupted and need to go to the hospital for treatment.

Pregnant women will affect their appetite, so in the early stages of pregnancy, just eat whatever you want, and don’t deliberately eat more or less. Foods such as lemon juice, potatoes, and biscuits can improve morning sickness.
