Is it retching or vomiting during pregnancy?

For many people, the first impression of pregnancy is vomiting, but in fact pregnancy does not mean retching. Some people will have vomiting problems, but some pregnant women will not have any reaction like normal people. So what exactly is morning sickness like? Is morning sickness just dry retching or vomiting? What good ways are there to alleviate this problem? Let us teach you today.

1. Is morning sickness retching or vomiting?

The severity of morning sickness depends on one's physical condition, and both dry retching and real vomiting may occur.

Expectant mothers who do not suffer from severe morning sickness may only experience acid reflux and nausea, but will not actually vomit anything. They often experience dry heaving in the morning and evening.

In severe cases, the patient may vomit everything he eats, anytime, anywhere, day or night. He may vomit salt water, sour water, bitter water, and even bile.

2. What is morning sickness?

The feeling and symptoms of morning sickness vary from person to person. Some people are severe, while others are mild. There are several specific situations:

1. Sometimes I feel nauseous and want to vomit when I wake up in the morning.

2. Sometimes I feel nausea and vomit when brushing my teeth.

3. Sometimes you feel nauseous and retching when you smell certain odors, especially cooking fumes.

4. In severe cases, you may even feel like vomiting when you see certain colors.

5. Some people with more serious conditions may feel nauseous all day long.

How long will morning sickness last?

Although morning sickness does feel uncomfortable, fortunately for most expectant mothers, it generally does not last too long. Morning sickness usually begins around 6 weeks of pregnancy and becomes increasingly severe over the next month or so. About half of pregnant women no longer feel nauseous by the 14th week of pregnancy. For most of the rest, it will take about a month before the nausea symptoms gradually subside. However, morning sickness may return later and continue throughout your pregnancy. Some pregnant women also experience morning sickness symptoms throughout their pregnancy, which is related to differences in individual physical fitness.

4. How to relieve morning sickness

1. In order to reduce morning sickness, eat more drier foods, such as biscuits, biscuits, toasted steamed bread slices, bread slices, etc.

2. Ginger can relieve morning sickness. Holding fresh ginger slices in your mouth, or adding fresh ginger juice to water or milk when drinking, can relieve nausea symptoms.

3. Appropriate exercise can relieve morning sickness. Appropriately participating in some light activities, such as outdoor walking, doing exercises for prenatal care, etc., can improve your mood, strengthen your body, and reduce early pregnancy reactions.

4. Take medication to relieve the symptoms. Take vitamin B6, vitamin C and other medicines as prescribed by your doctor every day, but pay attention to the dosage.

5. Notes

Mild to moderate nausea and occasional vomiting generally do not affect your baby's health. However, a few pregnant mothers have particularly severe reactions, with persistent vomiting and even inability to eat or drink, which is called hyperemesis gravidarum. In addition to food, vomitus may also contain mucus foam, bile or blood. You need to go to the hospital for timely treatment to avoid affecting the growth and development of the fetus.
