Things To Try: The Onset Of Morning Sickness
Everyone
has heard of morning sickness, even men! However, every woman hopes she will
somehow miraculously escape the nausea, vomiting, and unsettled feeling that
comes along with most pregnancies. The truth of the matter is that most women
will deal with varying forms of morning sickness while a few won't have any
and others will have extreme forms. Luckily, the things to try to tame
morning sickness are fairly universal and work for women no matter their
level of morning sickness. If you feel sick then you will surely want to give
them a try! Tip #1 Eat First Thing
The
first thing you will want to try when you notice you have morning sickness is
to eat something small before getting out of bed in the morning. The
combination of having no food in your stomach and waking up and walking
around is enough to cause many women to hug their toilets rather than their
pillows. You can try to avoid this by having a little something to eat as
soon as you wake up. A good suggestion is to wake up 15 minutes earlier than
usual and eat a couple of saltine crackers while continuing to lie in your
bed. Then, after a few minutes you can get up and start moving around. For
most women this is enough to help them control the nausea. Give it a try and
you will see that it really does help. Tip #2 Small Meals
If
you are going to really battle morning sickness you need to keep something in
your stomach at all times. This means eating lots of small meals. It could be
as much as eating something every hour or two. However, if you have
experienced morning sickness all day and all night then you will certainly
want to give the many small meals per day option a try! Tip #3 Clear Colas
Lots
of women find that drinking ginger ale and other clear colas helps settle
their stomachs. Ginger ale is especially popular because it does not have
caffeine and ginger is a known nausea reducer. You can find diet and regular
ginger ale at the grocery store so you might want to give it a try. Many
other women have found it works well for them, so try it out and see! You should find some relief from
your morning sickness by incorporating these tips. If not, then you may want
to talk to your doctor to see if he/she has additional suggestions that might
relate to your specific situation. |
