Some people have morning sickness, and some people are fine. Why?
Morning sickness usually occurs about 40 days after menopause and gradually disappears by the third month of pregnancy. Of course, whether the symptoms of morning sickness are strong or not varies from person to person. Some people may not react at all, while others may not react until five or six months, or even after giving birth.
Most pregnant women experience intense morning sickness in their early stages. Statistics show that more than 60% of pregnant women suffer from morning sickness, especially after getting up in the morning. Expectant mothers with mild morning sickness will occasionally experience nausea and vomiting, which may occur every few days. Some expectant mothers who react strongly will vomit whatever they eat, or even not eat. Moreover, the vomiting time is no longer limited to the morning, but \”vomits anytime and anywhere.\” Thanks to their keen sense of smell, expectant mothers with severe morning sickness may vomit when they smell a strong pungent odor.
Severe morning sickness is normal
Vomiting in early pregnancy is a completely normal physiological phenomenon. Zeng Qingshan reminded pregnant mothers not to be overly nervous. Morning sickness usually has no significant impact on health and does not require additional treatment. Try to stay happy, emotionally stable and well-rested.
For most people, morning sickness goes away on its own after 3 months of pregnancy. For those pregnant women who vomit anytime and anywhere, it may lead to metabolic disorders in severe cases, and they need to consult an obstetrician.
Pregnant mothers who are about to go to work can carry towels and toiletries with them to avoid sudden vomiting in the office or public places, and rinse their mouth quickly after vomiting to minimize oral discomfort.
You can eat sour fruits such as hawthorn and citrus to stop vomiting
The most direct impact of morning sickness on pregnant women is an increase in oral odor and a decrease in appetite. But at this time, it is more important to \”eat whatever you want.\” advertise
If morning sickness occurs, meals should be small and frequent. Eat as much as you want, pay attention to replenishing fluids, and avoid pungent smells and overly greasy foods, such as chili, curry, ginger, garlic, etc. Try to choose light foods and foods high in protein. Fruits, soy products, and milk are all good choices.
For pregnant women with severe pregnancy reactions, Zeng Qingshan recommends eating sour fruits such as hawthorn and citrus in moderation, but avoid pickled dried fruits. A few pregnant women have particularly strong reactions, vomiting constantly and even being unable to eat or drink., called hyperemesis gravidarum, requires a trip to the hospital.
Several juices can help relieve pregnancy symptoms
Apple Lemon Juice: Lemon has a reproductive effect on pregnant mothers, so lemon has the reputation of being \”good for mother and child\”. Apples are sweet and sour and can relieve morning sickness.
Tomato and papaya juice: Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, carotene, protein, trace elements, etc. Papaya can regulate the spleen and stomach and promote appetite.
Sugarcane juice: Squeeze sugarcane juice, add a few drops of ginger juice, make tea, and take it after meals or between meals. It can help relieve nausea and vomiting and has obvious antiemetic effects.
