Nausea or morning sickness is one of the most dreaded pregnancy symptoms, and it is something that almost every pregnant woman has to go through, at least for the first three months.<\/p>\n
\u201cUp to 70% of expectant mothers experience nausea at some point during early pregnancy. Not only is it known to be one of the early signs of pregnancy, but it is a symptom that is common throughout the first trimester, and sometimes even longer,\u201d says Dr Kiran Coelho, consultant gynaecology & obstetrics, Hinduja Healthcare Surgical.<\/p>\n
In many women a certain smell or taste can trigger these episodes. And it gets worse on an empty stomach. \u201cMorning sickness happens due to changes in the hormone called beta HCG. This hormone plateaus at 12 weeks,\u201d says Dr Vandana Gawdi, consultant, gynaecology, Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how you can control vomiting during pregnancy<\/p>\n
Eat light – \u201cWe advise pregnant women to eat something light every hour or two,\u201d says Dr Gawdi.<\/p>\n
Home remedies – Women can also try home remedies such as chewing on mint and ginger. \u201cYou can even dehydrate ginger along with a little salt and pop it in your mouth every few hours. You can even try honey, cardamom, cloves for instant relief,\u201d she adds. You can even try sucking on some candy.<\/p>\n
Avoid triggers – If you\u2019ve figured that certain smells and tastes trigger nausea, it is best to avoid it.<\/p>\n
Consult your doctor – If the nausea is too much to handle you can consult your doctor. \u201cHaving too much iron may cause nausea, and switching to a different vitamin could help,\u201d says Dr Coelho adding, \u201c Also ask you your healthcare provider about taking a vitamin B-6 supplement, which has proven to help reduce nausea and vomiting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
