Reasons why pregnant women want to vomit at night

Many female friends who are pregnant experience severe morning sickness. Some even vomit after smelling or eating. If they vomit for a long time, they will feel stomach discomfort. The following article will introduce what pregnant women should do if they feel like vomiting at night.

When a woman is pregnant for about one and a half months, the chorion in her body causes a significant increase in the secretion of gonadal hormones, which significantly reduces gastric acid and the activity of digestive enzymes. It not only affects the normal digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract of pregnant women, but also causes pregnancy reactions such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, limb fatigue, etc., also known as "morning sickness", which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

As long as it is not severe vomiting (vomiting bile, etc.), it is fine. Most morning sickness reactions are more severe in the early morning on an empty stomach. Dry starchy foods can relieve vomiting. For example, before getting up, in order to reduce vomiting, pregnant women can first rinse their mouths, eat some toast, steamed buns, biscuits and other foods, then lie down for about half an hour, and then get up slowly, which can effectively prevent vomiting.

Replenishing water is very important for pregnant women. Don’t be afraid of vomiting. Drink water after vomiting. Repeat this several times and you won’t vomit again. You can also add a little salt to the drink to prevent vomiting caused by low sodium. Morning sickness is milder at night, and the appetite should be increased appropriately. If necessary, an additional meal can be added before going to bed to meet the nutritional needs of the pregnant woman and the fetus. You can eat some fruits such as hawthorn, citrus, bayberry and their products. If the reaction is severe, seek medical treatment and take vitamin B. Pregnant women should eat light food and eat small meals frequently.

Above we introduced the phenomenon of pregnant women wanting to vomit at night. It is common and will cause great harm to their stomach and intestines. Pregnant women should pay attention to their reasonable life and healthy and nutritious diet in their daily life.
