Nausea during pregnancy how to cope?

When I was growing up as soon as someone would vomit I would hear my parents saying “are you pregnant girl, are you having the morning sickness?” I grew up knowing that morning sickness was when a mother to be starts vomiting and feeling sick, whenever my sister is pregnant she would vomit up everything that she eats,  for the first few weeks of her pregnancy you couldn’t be around her wearing anything that she didn’t like too smell, my mom would say “she’s got it real bad.”

Today I want to share with all the soon to be mothers out there who are looking for remedies on nausea during pregnancy but I must tell you that it will not work on every women, some people are different well some dont even get morning sickness I guess they are the lucky ones.

Dealing with food

We know that you have to eat but you wont be able to eat every food especially during the first few weeks of your pregnancy so it is best to:

Eat foods in small quantities

I know when a women is suffering from morning sickness the last thing that she wants to do is to eat but you have to remember that you are not alone anymore you are carrying a little fetus in there and you need to feed it with the proper vitamins and minerals that it needs to grow into a healthy baby boy or girl so eat up but ensure that when you do eat that you dont eat a whole wack take your time and eat a small portion.

Try to avoid an empty stomach my eating frequently through out the day, try to eat at a slower past to avoid over eating which will make you feel even worst trust me you do not want to over eat, it will send you running to the bathroom.

Drink lots of fluid

It is very very important that you drink fluid, you should keep your body hydrated, if you let your self become dehydrated you will feel even worst, if you realize that you are getting sick frequently you should also start drinking more fluids. You should drink 6-8 glasses of water everyday well you can replace a few glasses of those water with sports drink that contains glucose.

Snack on crackers

The cracker is a necessity for all pregnant women if you are not a big fan of crackers then try eating dry cereal instead, I suggest that you keep a pack of crackers on your bedside table when ever you get up in the nights you nibble on one or two it will keep your stomach settle before the morning, cracker are also inexpensive and easy to digest therefore it is perfect for someone who is fighting against nausea during pregnancy.

Also try to avoid crackers in fatty spreads it will make you feel even worst.

Avoid spicy food 

Avoid spicy food it will upset your stomach try sticking to foods that are bland it will help with the morning sickness they dont smell as strong and therefore they are very easy to digest example bananas, toast, yogurt and applesauce.

Avoid fatty food

Example you used to love eating pizzas or burgers stop eating those for a while these food will trigger your nausea, you will realize that certain foods will trigger your nausea so in order to know what to eat and what not to eat I suggest that you start making a note of them.

Eat cold food

Stick to raw vegetables, fruits and sandwiches these food are best for morning sickness, you will realize that when the food is heated the smell is way stronger triggering your nausea.

Eat Food rich in protein and carbohydrates 

I know that when you are feeling sick the most appealing foods tend to be protein and carbohydrates so stock your cup board with carbohydrates (pasta, bread, granola bars) Protein (scrambled eggs, peanut butter). Eat what works for you and your tiny baby but you must eat if you want a healthy baby.

Brush your teeth

Brush your teeth after eating this will remove the odor of foods that might trigger your nausea, use mouth wash and brush thoroughly.

Avoid laying down after eat

We all know that is a vomiting trigger for most people whether pregnant or not, you should never lay down as soon as you eat give yourself some time to digest your food, wait until 30 minutes before you lay down and if you still feel as if your food is not fully digested then stay up a while longer.

How to adjust to morning sickness

Morning sickness doesn’t only affect you base on what you eat it also affects you based on what you smell and what you do so here are a few ways in which you can avoid nausea during pregnancy.

Do not use strong scented deodorants

This is a nausea trigger for some pregnant women there are certain things that will make them feel upset the minute that they smell it so I would suggest avoiding these types of deodorants.

Take fresh air

Whenever you feel as if you are going to throw up, walk away from where you were and take some fresh air this will help a lot with your nausea during pregnancy.

Do not walk too fast

Take your time and walk especially if you just ate something, walking too fast is a rigger for most people.

Get plenty of rest

Your body need the nest especially now that you are caring a extra human being in your body so ensure that you take the time to sleep, after all you will be extra tired so you need it more that the person who is not pregnant, so all that partying that you use to do has to stop.
