How to prevent nausea during pregnancy

Women will experience a series of physical changes in the early stages of pregnancy. There are many early pregnancy reactions. More than 60% of pregnant women have experienced vomiting after getting up in the morning. Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to be overly nervous. It usually has little impact on health and does not require treatment. However, some pregnant women vomit very severely, which will cause harm to the baby and themselves. Let us learn about some ways to avoid vomiting during pregnancy nausea.

1. Eat foods rich in protein and complex carbohydrates as much as possible, as they can prevent nausea and reduce morning sickness. Common nutritious foods are also helpful, so you can try to eat better according to your own conditions.

2. Drink plenty of water, especially if you have lost a lot of water by vomiting. If you find that liquid foods are easier to swallow than solid foods when you are nauseated, use liquid foods to supplement your nutrition. Try any of the following you can get your hands on: fruit or vegetable juice, broth, beef stock. If you find that watery soups make you more nauseous, eat solid foods that have a higher water content, such as fresh fruits and vegetables - especially lettuce, watermelon, and citrus fruits.

3. Take pregnancy vitamins to make up for the nutrients you are not getting. But take it at a time of the day when you are least likely to vomit it out.

4. Avoid foods whose shape, smell and taste make you feel sick. Avoid any foods that cause nausea when they smell - some foods have this effect on many pregnant women due to their overly sensitive sense of smell. Don't be self-sacrificing and prepare sausage and eggs for your hubby if the smell of them sends you running to the bathroom. If the smell from the apartment next door is too much for you, you can put a few towels under the door to block it out; exhaust fans on the windows can also help if necessary.

5. Don't force yourself to eat food that you don't like or that is so bad that it makes you feel sick. Instead, you should choose your meals primarily through feel, smell, and taste, while relying on your intellectual nutritional needs. If sweets are acceptable to you (you're getting your vitamin A and protein from peaches and cottage cheese, not just broccoli and chicken), then you can just stick to the sweets. Or you can just choose tasty small plates if they make your stomach ache feel better (like having a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich for breakfast instead of oatmeal and orange juice).

6. Eat small meals frequently - start eating before you feel hungry. If you wait until your stomach is empty, the acid it secretes has nothing to digest and can only digest the stomach lining, which can cause nausea. Likewise, prolonged stomach churn between meals can cause hypoglycemia. The effect is obviously better if three large meals are divided into six portions. You can also carry nutritious snacks (dried fruit, whole-wheat crackers, or pretzels) with you so you can enjoy them at any time.

After learning so many ways to deal with nausea during pregnancy, I hope it will be helpful to pregnant mothers. Nurturing life is a process full of hardship and happiness. Although there are various physical discomforts, mothers have the strength to overcome difficulties when they think of the birth of new life in the future. Nausea and vomiting are normal physiological phenomena during pregnancy. As long as you adjust your diet and daily routine and keep relaxed, you will definitely get through this period quickly.
