nausea and vomiting
No one knows why many expectant mothers\’ first sign of pregnancy is a rush to the bathroom in the early morning. About four out of five expectant mothers experience nausea and half experience vomiting. For many women, the first few weeks of pregnancy are more difficult than wonderful.
Pregnancy affects expectant mothers differently. You may feel a strange feeling of nausea the first morning after pregnancy, or you may feel nauseous and vomit over the next few weeks or even months.
Morning sickness was once called morning sickness, but that term is misleading. Morning sickness can be worse in the morning, but most expectant mothers with morning sickness will vomit from morning to night. This may continue for some time. If you have severe vomiting, you may find that you cannot work at all and cannot cook, shop, or clean the house.
The cause of morning sickness is unknown, but it is generally believed that nausea and vomiting are related to the effects of chorionic gonadotropin. Although vomiting won\’t stop you from feeling nauseous, it\’s a good sign because it means your progesterone levels are high enough. Other hormones, such as estrogen and thyroid hormone, are also thought to be partly responsible for morning sickness.
Symptoms of nausea and vomiting usually begin around 5 to 6 weeks into pregnancy, but most women find that they become more severe by the 14th week. Some people don\’t get rid of nausea and vomiting until the 16th week, and some people can\’t get rid of nausea and vomiting even for 9 months of pregnancy, but the degree can be mild or severe. Fortunately, this condition is rare and there are ways to mitigate it.
The most severe form of morning sickness is called hyperemesis gravidarum (literally, severe vomiting during pregnancy). If you vomit frequently, throw up no matter what you eat or drink, or lose weight, you may have hyperemesis gravidarum. Hyperemesis gravidarum can affect your health and the health of your baby, so see your doctor as soon as possible. There are some home remedies for hyperemesis gravidarum, or you may still need to go to the hospital for treatment.
It is best to tell your loved ones, family and friends how you are feeling and what you need as they may be able to help you. You may also want to tell your colleagues that you are pregnant (and your symptoms of nausea and vomiting) earlier than planned to get the support they need.
Try not to overwork yourself and try to reduce your stress. Take time off if necessary. Eat small, frequent meals to see which foods are good for you and which are not. Foods that are high in calories, high in fat, and overly seasoned are not good. The most important thing is to drink plenty of water. Ice water, lemon juice, boiled water or other drinks are all fine.
baby\’s development
Something big is going to happen this week. preciousBao\’s little hands and feet are starting to grow out of the developing arms and legs, but now they\’re like paddles and a far cry from the chubby hands and feet you dreamed of. Scientifically speaking, your baby is still just an embryo at this point, with a small tail remaining, which is an extension of the coccyx. The tail disappears within a few weeks and is the only part of the baby that shrinks. The baby is twice as big as last week, 1.25 centimeters long and as big as a blueberry. Your baby\’s muscles are also developing, making him look like a jumping bean, moving from time to time.
Your baby now has small eyelids that half cover the eyeballs, and your baby\’s eyes are colored. Under the skin as thin as a cicada\’s wings, blood vessels are vaguely visible. At this time, your baby\’s teeth and palate are forming, and his ears continue to grow.
The two hemispheres of your baby\’s brain are also growing, and the liver is making red blood cells until your baby\’s bone marrow forms and takes over the liver\’s work and starts making red blood cells. The baby already has an appendix and pancreas, which will secrete insulin to help digestion. Your baby\’s developing intestine has a ring-shaped protrusion that connects to the umbilical cord, the blood vessels in the umbilical cord that carry oxygen and nutrients to and from your baby\’s body.
