Is it normal to have less morning sickness at 8 weeks of pregnancy?

At eight weeks of pregnancy, it is the early stage of pregnancy. At this time, the symptoms of morning sickness are more obvious, and nausea and vomiting often occur. Of course, the severity of morning sickness varies from person to person, and the duration will also be different. At eight weeks of pregnancy, if morning sickness suddenly subsides, it is normal for some pregnant women, but it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to see how the embryo is developing, especially if the morning sickness is very obvious and occurs suddenly. At this time, you should be alert, as there may be fetal arrest. In addition to morning sickness, if the breast tenderness disappears, and there is irregular vaginal bleeding, it also causes lower abdominal pain. These may be signs of miscarriage, so you should be highly vigilant.

1. Psychological relaxation

Pregnant women in 8 weeks of pregnancy, regardless of whether they are experiencing fetal growth retardation or whether there are friends around them who have experienced fetal growth retardation, should not worry too much or be anxious, because tension and stress can cause endocrine imbalance in the body, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the embryo and fetus.

2. Pre-pregnancy preparation

In fact, to prevent fetal growth retardation in pregnant women, you should start paying attention to it from the preparation period for pregnancy. You should eat a balanced diet, lead a regular life, exercise, and do a good job of pre-pregnancy check-up.

3. Do a good job of pregnancy check-up

Generally, the embryo will have a fetal heartbeat at around 8 weeks, and fetal growth retardation may occur at 8-12 weeks. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women have an ultrasound at around 8 weeks in order to check the development of the fetus and placenta as early as possible. If the fetal heartbeat is present, you can generally rest assured.

What to do if you have morning sickness at 8 weeks of pregnancy

For some pregnant women who are 8 weeks pregnant, morning sickness will be alleviated, but for some pregnant women, morning sickness is still very severe, making them very uncomfortable. You may try the following methods to relieve morning sickness.

1. Diet adjustment

The fetus does not need much nutrition at 8 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, pregnant women with morning sickness should eat the food they want to eat, rather than eating food they don’t want to eat but is nutritious. At the same time, pregnant women can reduce the amount of food they eat each time, eat small meals frequently, drink plenty of water, and eat more vitamin-rich foods to prevent constipation, which will aggravate early pregnancy reactions. Pregnant women can also change their dining environment as much as possible to stimulate their appetite; eat more drier foods, such as biscuits, biscuits, toasted steamed bread slices, bread slices, etc. to reduce morning sickness. If morning sickness is severe, eat more vegetables, fruits and other alkaline foods to prevent acidosis.

2. Exercise therapy

Pregnant women in their 8th week of pregnancy can also reduce morning sickness through exercise. Pregnant women can appropriately participate in some light activities, such as walking, prenatal exercises, etc., which can not only improve morning sickness, but also exercise the body and improve mood.

3. Psychotherapy

Pregnant women's early pregnancy reactions are also related to psychological stress. If the psychological pressure is too great, the early pregnancy reactions will be more serious. Therefore, pregnant women should learn to relax and release stress. Pregnant women can relieve psychological stress by learning some relevant scientific knowledge or communicating and learning more with other pregnant women.
