Five Tips To Manage Morning Sickness

Morning sickness is often one of the first signs of pregnancy. It is a common complaint, but it often passes away three months into the pregnancy. However, for some women, severe morning sickness can be bothersome.

The following five tips would help you in handling morning sickness when you are pregnant

Take a break

During pregnancy, there are periods when it seems like getting out of bed is the toughest job in the world. Such mornings, the thought and worry of getting your tired body out of bed might further heighten your morning sickness.

 During these early weeks of pregnancy, you must take rest as much as possible, not only for the baby but for your health as well.”

Stay hydrated

Staying hydrated can feel like a monumental effort when your stomach won’t keep anything down. Findings reveal that the more you are dehydrated, the more nauseated you become. Therefore, try different ways of tricking your body into accepting fluids. During this period you must drink enough fluid until your urine is colourless or light yellow. Increase your fruit and vegetable intake, as well as milk, juice, tea and soups.

Get best foods for your system

Morning sickness more often than not makes most pregnant women afraid to eat as they feel they might only end up being nauseated afterwards. Nevertheless, you still need to get food in your stomach—it’s just a matter of figuring out what goes down best.

Consider medication

If you’re having a hard time keeping anything down, it’s time to see a doctor.

Get along with ginger and ginger teas

Ginger has long been touted as a stomach soother, and studies have shown that it may help morning sickness. Try adding a thin slice of ginger to hot water and drink it every morning to settle your queasy stomach.

According to a medical doctor, Lizzie Streit,, “Ginger root contains specifically two types of compounds – gingerols and shogaols – that are thought to act on receptors in the digestive system and speed stomach emptying, which in turn may help reduce feelings of nausea.”

She added that ginger has been shown to help relieve pain from uterine cramping, which many pregnant women experience in the first trimester and recommends four cups of ginger tea every day for pregnant women.
