What to do if you always feel like vomiting during pregnancy

Feeling like vomiting during pregnancy is a common symptom of early pregnancy. Although it is a normal phenomenon, if the early pregnancy phenomenon is too severe, it will have a great impact on the body and mind of the pregnant woman. If vomiting continues for a long time, the pregnant woman will not be able to absorb the required nutrients in time, which will not only affect the physical health of the pregnant woman, but also affect the development of the fetus. So, what should you do if you always feel like vomiting during pregnancy?

diet

1. Follow the principle of “small and frequent meals”. Eat about every two to three hours. Don't eat too much each time. It is better to choose foods rich in carbohydrates (such as soda crackers) and protein, and try to eat less soupy foods.

2. Avoid eating fried, greasy, spicy, irritating or difficult to digest foods.

3. Some pregnant women are more sensitive to foods with special or strong flavors, which can easily cause nausea and vomiting, so it is best to avoid such foods.

4. You can eat something (such as soda crackers, toast) or drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed, so that you will not feel nauseous due to empty stomach when you wake up the next day.

5. Since the blood sugar level in the body is lower in the morning, it is easy to feel nauseous and vomit. Therefore, after getting up, you can eat something in bed (such as soda crackers) and then get out of bed.

6. If pregnant women are not averse to the taste of ginger, they can drink ginger soup to improve nausea and vomiting.

7. Don’t drink too much water at one time. Drink it in several times to avoid vomiting.

8. Try to choose foods you like and don’t force yourself to eat foods you don’t want to eat.

9. Increase the intake of simple sugars. Orange juice and grape juice are good choices.

10. Taking vitamin B6 can relieve feelings of nausea.

11. Since iron supplements can easily cause nausea and vomiting, if pregnant women are taking iron supplements due to anemia, they should stop taking them at this stage.

Daily life

1. Stay away from the smell of kitchen fumes. When cooking in the kitchen, remember to turn on the range hood, or use a microwave oven to cook food to reduce the production of oil smoke.

2. Stay away from pungent odors, such as smoke, paint, fish, etc.

3. Keep the indoor air circulating; fresh air can reduce the feeling of nausea.

4. Wearing loose clothing can help relieve abdominal pressure.

5. Keep a happy mood and arrange some relaxing activities to distract your attention from physical discomfort. In addition, avoid staying up late and excessive stress.

6. You can raise your pillow when sleeping to reduce the occurrence of food reflux.

7. Don’t get up suddenly when you get up in the morning, get out of bed slowly.

Psychotherapy

1. Relax yourself. Due to morning sickness, many expectant mothers are worried about the baby's nutrition. In fact, the nutrients needed by the baby in the early stage are limited. As long as the weight loss does not exceed 5% of the pre-pregnancy weight, it will not affect the fetus. Therefore, expectant mothers should not be overly anxious about this. Just get rid of this burden and make good adjustments to themselves, and they will be able to overcome the difficulties smoothly.

2. Active support from family members. During the period of morning sickness, expectant mothers feel physically uncomfortable and anxious, and what they need most is the support and care of their family members. Therefore, in this matter, the husband should be gentle and considerate. On the one hand, he should take good care of his wife's diet and daily life, and try to create a comfortable and warm family atmosphere; on the other hand, he should communicate with his wife patiently, help relieve her tension, and go through the "morning sickness" period together.
