I am three months pregnant and still vomiting

Pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting should not last more than three months. For most people, the symptoms will disappear within three months. However, for some people, due to special physical conditions, the pregnancy period may be extended to about four or five months. Other pathological factors cannot be ruled out, which require special understanding and attention.

Generally speaking, pregnant women often experience nausea, vomiting and other reactions in the early stages of pregnancy. In my country, people have always used acidic foods to relieve vomiting during pregnancy, and even used acidic drugs to stop vomiting. These methods are not advisable.

In recent years, foreign studies have pointed out that acidic foods and drugs are one of the main causes of malformations. The researchers measured the acidity and alkalinity of fetal tissue and maternal blood at different periods and believed that it is best not to eat or eat less acidic food or acidic medicines (such as vitamin C, aspirin, etc.) in the first half month or so of pregnancy. Because a large amount of acidic food can reduce the alkalinity in the body, which can easily cause fatigue and weakness. A long-term acidic physique will not only make the mother susceptible to certain diseases, but more importantly, it will affect the normal and healthy growth and development of the fetus, and may even cause fetal malformations. Therefore, pregnant women should not eat too much acidic food.

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 pregnancy, especially mild vomiting in the early morning or evening. Some vomiting may be very severe. This 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 biscuits 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.

Ginger is effective in treating nausea and vomiting in pregnant women

Chinese medicine practitioners like to use ginger as medicine. There are records in ancient prescriptions of using ginger as medicine to suppress nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. However, this traditional Chinese medicine has not been confirmed by medical research.

Surprisingly, the first to conduct medical research to confirm this were Western medical researchers. Recently, researchers from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Adelaide in Australia conducted a trial that confirmed that using ginger in early pregnancy can reduce the occurrence of nausea, retching and vomiting, just like using vitamin B6.
