Dietary considerations for morning complaints during pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, the most common symptom is vomiting. Vomiting generally occurs at different times, such as morning, noon, or evening. Because some friends may have more severe reactions during early pregnancy during these time periods, they may vomit in the morning. So what should we do when we encounter this phenomenon?

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 becoming pregnant, especially in the early morning or evening, when they are prone to mild vomiting. Some women may experience severe vomiting, which 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 cookies 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.

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.

In order to deal with the phenomenon of vomiting bitterness in the morning during pregnancy, we should pay attention to our diet. Do not eat too much food after the evening, and do not eat too much food that irritates the stomach. Friends who like to eat sour food after pregnancy often affect people's stomach.
