What to do if you vomit acid in early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, most women will experience morning sickness. Some women may be able to vomit out the contents of their stomachs, while some women may vomit acid. In fact, vomiting acid is also very uncomfortable because acid is very irritating. When it reaches our throat, we will feel particularly uncomfortable. So what should we do if we vomit acid in the early stages of pregnancy?

1. Reasons why pregnant women vomit acid

【Caused by morning sickness】

During the first three months of pregnancy, vomiting acid is a mild morning sickness reaction. Morning sickness is related to many factors, such as hormone levels in the body, living and eating habits, mental stress, etc. These symptoms generally do not require special treatment. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, as the HCG level in the body decreases, the symptoms will disappear naturally and appetite will return to normal.

Countermeasures

Don't be too nervous after pregnancy and make sure to keep your emotions stable. If you feel nauseous in the morning, lie in bed for a while after waking up and eat a few soda crackers before brushing your teeth. Feel hungry and eat anytime, not necessarily three meals a day. Eat less fried food, keep food light, not too salty or oily, and eat a variety of foods.

[Caused by acid reflux during pregnancy]

Acid reflux during pregnancy refers to the reflux of gastric acid from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn, stomach acid and other uncomfortable reactions. The phenomenon of acid reflux in pregnant women is related to the increase in progesterone and estrogen levels in the body after pregnancy. Pregnant women can improve their condition by adjusting some of their lifestyle habits appropriately.

Countermeasures

1. Do not lie down or bend over within three hours after a meal;

2. Do not drink any beverages or food other than boiled water three hours before meals;

3. Eat less or no alcohol, chocolate, greasy food, pepper and other irritating foods;

4. Raise the head of the bed by 2-3 inches when sleeping.

5. When you have heartburn or on an empty stomach, chew some raw peanuts. Make sure to chew them thoroughly before swallowing. This can relieve the symptoms.

2. What to do if a pregnant woman vomits acid

1. Eat more in separate meals and eat smaller meals. Keeping food in the stomach at all times, a cracker in the morning or a snack in the evening will help. But leaving too long a gap between meals and eating too much at each meal are not good either.

2. Eat more light and easily digestible foods. Spicy and greasy foods can induce nausea in pregnant women, while foods rich in complex carbohydrates such as corn, wheat, and fresh vegetables are easy for the stomach to get along with.

3. Eat more ginger. Ginger can relieve nausea when getting up early. Pregnant women can eat more ginger slices, or drink some ginger tea, which is also beneficial.

4. Pay attention to supplementing vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 can help relieve nausea.

5. Relax and don't be nervous. You should know that this is just a normal reaction to pregnancy. If the situation is serious, go to the hospital for examination.

Note: Acid vomiting in early pregnancy is often a normal physiological phenomenon. There is no need to be overly nervous. It usually has little impact on health and does not require treatment. Just keep a happy mood, stable emotions and get enough rest. For most people, these symptoms disappear on their own after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Of course, if a pregnant woman vomits particularly severely and vomits everything she eats, she needs to go to the hospital for treatment and, if necessary, be hospitalized for intravenous infusion.

3. Precautions during pregnancy

1. Diet

In the early stages of pregnancy, a pregnant woman's eating habits may change, commonly known as "mouth trouble". At this time, you should eat some light, easily digestible food. Eat more vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables and less greasy food. Remember to drink water or milk every morning when you wake up. You should also pay attention to eating small meals frequently and not eating too much at each meal.

2. Drugs

You must pay attention to medication in the early stages of pregnancy, because this period is the most important period for the development of various organs of the fetus. If mothers take medicine blindly because of illness and take medicine that pregnant women cannot take, it will affect the development of the fetus and easily cause deformities. Therefore, if mothers become sick and need medication in the early stages of pregnancy, they must take medication that will not hinder the growth and development of the fetus under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Pregnancy environment

Due to the importance of early pregnancy, in addition to paying attention to medication, the living environment is also very important. In addition to not letting the mother smoke or drink, it is best to stay away from smoking environments. To prevent smoke from causing fetal hypoxia. Mothers should also avoid going to public places with poor hygiene or factories with harmful gas emissions, and stay away from fetal malformations caused by harmful gases and viruses.

4. Life during pregnancy

Mothers who are already pregnant should try their best to avoid having sex in the early stages of pregnancy. The fetus is very fragile in the early stages, so don't let momentary negligence cause miscarriage and leave you with regrets. In the early stages of pregnancy, you can temporarily sleep in separate beds to regulate your life.

5. Work

Once you know you are pregnant, early recovery is very important, so if possible, try not to go to work, do not do too much physical labor, do not work on the computer for too long, do not use the computer for too long, wear anti-radiation clothing, and take a vacation when necessary.

6. Sports

It is not advisable to do some strenuous exercise in the early stages of pregnancy. Pregnant women can take a walk in the morning and evening, but not for too long. Make sure the body does not feel tired. Just be moderate and ensure adequate sleep.

7. Mood

Another thing to pay attention to in the early stages of pregnancy is to keep yourself happy and relaxed. Due to psychological reasons after pregnancy, many pregnant mothers will have a bad temper or be irritable, and are afraid of making trouble. In this case, they can choose to listen to light music or find a quiet place to rest. Husbands should also show their performance. They should take time to spend more time with their wives, comfort them, don’t make them angry, do things that their wives like, show more care about them, and make them in a good mood every day.
