Nausea and vomiting when drinking water during early pregnancy

Pregnancy is a relatively difficult process. During this period, many expectant mothers will experience physical problems, such as nausea and vomiting, which is morning sickness, which is a very common phenomenon. If encountering this situation, pregnant mothers may wish to relieve the severe symptoms of morning sickness by eating small meals frequently, taking vitamin B6 to stop vomiting, using ginger to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnant women, and using some dietary therapy methods to treat nausea and vomiting.

1. Eat small, frequent meals

In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat small meals frequently and avoid greasy and spicy foods, which can relieve pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting.

Most women experience nausea and vomiting within 1 to 3 months after pregnancy, especially mild vomiting in the early morning or evening. Some vomiting may be very severe. This is called pregnancy reaction. Many people believe that pregnant women can prevent nausea and vomiting by not eating or eating less. Some pregnant women do not want to eat for fear of vomiting. In fact, not eating not only fails to alleviate vomiting, but also causes pregnant women to lack nutrition, which is not good for both mother and baby.

Nausea and vomiting in pregnant women are mainly caused by the stimulation of increased estrogen on the smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract. Mild nausea and vomiting does not require treatment, and there is no need to fast or eat less. On the contrary, if you eat more food, you will feel better. It is best to eat 6 meals a day, eat small meals frequently, prepare some biscuits and eat them at any time, and it is better to drink a glass of milk in the morning. After eating, rest in bed for 20 to 30 minutes. If you feel nauseous, eat a few biscuits and the nausea will feel better. In addition, you should also pay attention to adjusting your diet, avoid eating foods that are difficult to digest, and eat more starchy foods such as bread, biscuits, potatoes, rice, etc.

2. Vitamin B6 for nausea

Many pregnant women experience severe early pregnancy reactions, such as nausea, vomiting and inability to eat. Doctors often allow them to take a small amount of vitamin B6 to stop vomiting. Some pregnant women think that vitamin B6 is a vitamin needed by the human body and has no harm, so they take it in larger quantities and for longer periods of time. In fact, taking too much is harmful to the fetus.

Due to long-term and excessive intake of vitamin B6, the fetus becomes dependent on it, which is medically known as vitamin B6 dependence.

3. Ginger is very effective in treating nausea and vomiting in pregnant women

Researchers at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Adelaide in Australia conducted a trial that confirmed that using ginger in early pregnancy can reduce nausea, retching and vomiting, just like using vitamin B6.

Ginger, a traditional Chinese medicine, can reduce stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting in pregnant women, and its effectiveness is equivalent at every stage of early pregnancy.

4. Antiemetic Diet Therapy

Diet therapy for vomiting during pregnancy can be:

Then pour the two juices together, mix well and drink after slightly warming. It has the effect of harmonizing the stomach and stopping vomiting.
