All Natural Remedies for Relieving Morning Time Nausea
If you are pregnant, you probably know that the term “morning sickness” is really a misnomer, since many pregnant women experience nausea at any time during the day (though usually more intensely during the morning hours).Nausea and/or vomiting tends to begin around week six and last through about week 14 or 18; while this is the case for the majority of women who experience symptoms (about 75% of all pregnant women report morning sickness), there are a few who continue to have them throughout the pregnancy. But, no matter how long the symptoms last, it is an unpleasant condition which should not be dismissed just because it is common or temporary.
While not definitively identified or understood, and while each woman is, of course, different, nausea seems to be related to a convergence of physical, hormonal, and psychological factors.This includes, of course, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) - also known as the pregnancy hormone, nausea levels tend to match levels of hCG; in addition, increased estrogen can affect your system and especially explain the sensitivity to aromas that is common to pregnant women.
Also, research suggests that some women are simply naturally more prone to experiencing nausea or vomiting as a response to stress, and that it is almost “normal” for their bodies to respond to the stress of pregnancy in that way.Although they are not necessarily medically proven, women swear by many time-tested nausea remedies that do not involve using medication.
Many women try to eat several times during the day, always keeping something in their stomachs; you can also keep crackers by your bed for right when you wake up in the morning.Stay laying down for a while, approximately half an hour, and then try getting out of bed - many women experience less nausea.You'll want to always take it nice and easy when you get out of bed on any given morning while pregnant.
You can experiment with high-protein versus high-carbohydrate meals as a nausea depressant; you should, however, try to stay away from rich and spicy foods as a general rule.If a food makes you feel nauseous, don't eat it - even if this means you eat a very limited variety of foods, it's better than forcing yourself and getting sick after. You’ll want to try to eat fairly bland foods, and also to eat them while they are at room temperature or even cold, because hot foods have stronger odors.
Having lots of beverages is important, as it helps replace liquids lost in vomiting, though you will want to avoid drinking too much with food; in between meals, try cold carbonated drinks, sports drinks, and anything with real ginger, like a ginger tea or ginger ale (check the label).
You can also take steps like avoiding nausea triggers unrelated to food, like strong smells or motion (such as a car ride); you can also try using acupressure bands or even hypnosis for nausea relief.Remember, just because morning sickness is common or temporary, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek relief; if none of these or other strategies work for you, talk with your doctor about potentially treating your nausea with medication.
