Morning Sickness During Pregnancy
Thanks to guest writer Susan
If you are currently pregnant and experiencing severe or moderate morning sickness, know that you are not alone. Many women, whether this is a first pregnancy or a repeat have experienced morning sickness during pregnancy. When I was pregnant for the second time, I actually lost weight during my first trimester. For me, morning sickness lasted all day long. There was no relief. However, I worked through it and decided against drugs to help me. During this period of time, the only thing I felt like eating was pickles and white bread.
Defeating morning sickness most often means just waiting it out. It is a woman’s natural reaction to pregnancy sometimes and you will be fine. Try all different kinds of food to see if you will be able to find one that will satisfy your craving but not upset your stomach. You can try to use acid reducers and drink plenty of white soda to make sure that if you do become sick, it won’t taste so foul.
Morning sickness is not an indicator that anything is wrong, so don’t worry about that. On your regular check-ups, you can ask your doctor whether there are any other options for you to choose. Most doctors will likely tell you that the sickness will subside eventually as your body starts to normalize.
Some women report being sick all through the pregnancy and some are over it within a couple of weeks. Every woman’s body is different and will react differently to pregnancy. To ease your mind, please know that no pregnancy has ever been threatened due to excessive morning sickness. Your body will take in exactly the kind of nutrition it needs to support that baby.
When I was pregnant, I found great comfort in hot tea of all kinds. It calmed my stomach and made me hungry. Try some soothing tea that gets rid of an upset stomach if you are having a hard time with morning sickness. You should also stock up on saltine crackers to get you through the day if you are unable to eat anything else.
Remember that morning sickness is just your body’s way of responding and dealing with a pregnancy. In the end, your body will do everything possible to keep you and your unborn baby healthy.
