In the first trimester, for about two to three months, or even longer, expectant mothers will have symptoms of nausea, retching, and regurgitation. This symptom is actually what we call morning sickness. . In most cases, morning sickness occurs more often in the morning, so it is also called morning sickness.
Many pregnant mothers are worried about vomiting during pregnancy, fearing that it will affect their baby. In fact, retching during pregnancy is a normal condition.
Xiaoli: "Do all pregnant women suffer from nausea and vomiting?"
Director Lin: "No. A small number of expectant mothers may not even feel the slightest need to vomit. However, , most of them will have pregnancy reactions such as nausea, retching, and vomiting in the first trimester. Moreover, 1% of expectant mothers will have persistent vomiting, which can lead to severe dehydration and require treatment. But don’t worry, these are generally. The situation will not affect the health of the fetus."
Xiaoli: "I often retching and sometimes feel a little breathless. Is this normal?"
Director Lin: "It's normal. Everyone may experience morning sickness differently. Some people may only have slight vomiting, some may experience difficulty breathing, and others may experience dizziness, chest tightness, retching, or gasping for air. ”
Xiao Li: “Because of vomiting and being unable to eat, my weight did not increase after pregnancy, but actually dropped a bit.
I am anxious. ”
Director Lin: “You don’t have to worry about nausea, vomiting, or weight loss. Even if the expectant mother loses weight, it will not affect the growth and development of the fetus. After the nausea and vomiting slowly subside, the expectant mother's weight will gradually increase. ”
Xiaoli: “How long does it usually take for morning sickness to disappear completely? ”
Director Lin: “For most expectant mothers, pregnancy reactions such as morning sickness usually begin to appear at the end of the third week of pregnancy, and the symptoms will not subside until the end of the first trimester. But it may not disappear completely. Some expectant mothers will still have varying degrees of nausea and vomiting after three months of pregnancy. However, as the pregnancy months increase, most morning sickness will gradually subside. Only a small number of expectant mothers have morning sickness that will accompany them throughout their pregnancy. The feeling of nausea and vomiting will not disappear until the baby is born. ”
Xiaoli: “I can’t eat anything now. I can only eat some bread with pickles every day.” Will this cause malnutrition in the fetus? "
Director Li: "Don't worry, in the first few months, the energy and nutrients stored in your body are enough to meet the needs of the fetus. And when you feel nauseous or uncomfortable, choose foods that can make you feel better first, and the nutrition of the food can be considered last. Because no matter how nutritious the food is, if it makes you feel uncomfortable and you will spit it out immediately after eating it, it will not have any effect at all. "
Xiaoli: "If you have severe vomiting, do you need to see a doctor? ”
Director Lin: “Most morning sickness will not affect the health of expectant mothers and fetuses. But if it has developed into 'hyperemesis gravidarum', you should seek medical treatment in time. The so-called 'hyperemesis' means vomiting so severely that the body cannot replenish the losses caused by vomiting, causing the expectant mother to develop symptoms of dehydration and even metabolic disorders such as ketoacidosis. She feels that she urinates less and becomes increasingly tired. If you are weak, unable to eat or drink for 24 hours, or have vomiting symptoms that do not subside, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment in time.
Xiaoli: "If you feel nauseous as soon as you eat, should you eat less?"
Director Lin: "Nausea and vomiting after pregnancy are a normal reaction of most pregnant women. The first thing to do is to Overcome fear, relax your mind, and don't focus too much on this. Secondly, you should eat smaller meals more frequently, and you can also eat snacks inadvertently. Don't be afraid of vomiting. If you spit out eight out of ten mouthfuls, two mouthfuls will remain. , it’s much better than not eating at all.”

Work hard to find the most suitable anti-nausea food for pregnant mothers
Everyone’s physical fitness is different. Although there are many anti-vomiting foods introduced in magazines and books, not all of them may be suitable for you. We tried a variety of methods and finally settled on Yingzi’s anti-vomiting food. When the acid returns to the stomach, eat some alkaline foods such as soda crackers and apples. When you feel nauseous and want to vomit, drink ginger juice and sugar cane juice with water. Sometimes "ginger cane granules" are mixed with water to drink. With these "vomiting-suppressing" delicacies, my wife was finally able to suppress her vomiting a little, and sometimes she could really hold it back. Holding back from vomiting is a temporary victory. After all, the longer the food stays in the stomach, the more nutrients will be absorbed.

Use the pattern of morning sickness to adjust your diet
During the period of morning sickness, my wife’s life was very bad every day. After two or three days of careful observation, I found that there was a pattern - my wife often vomited lightly in the morning, heavily in the afternoon, and completely in the evening. So, we quickly formulated a strategy: eat normal food in the morning, replenish energy while the vomiting was mild, eat semi-liquid food in the afternoon, and eat full liquid food in the evening when the vomiting was the worst. Practice has proved that this measure is very scientific and reasonable, and the wife's vomiting has indeed been relieved.

Diverting your wife’s attention is very helpful
This is also a great trick to relieve morning sickness. My wife was particularly sensitive to various smells when she was pregnant. She couldn't smell the smell of cooking fumes. Even if it occasionally drifted over while walking on the road, she would throw up. So, I tried my best to avoid this situation to avoid irritating her. You can discuss some relaxed topics with her, such as imagining what a good baby looks like; or play simple checkers with her, etc., so as to minimize the time and opportunity for your wife to feel uncomfortable.

Helping his wife to stay calm
One night when my wife was just one or two months pregnant, she didn’t eat anything. I kept vomiting and was sweating profusely. My whole body was soaked. According to her later recollection, she suddenly felt that she had no strength at all, which was extremely scary. It took her a while to gather strength before she could cry out. The mother-in-law hurried over and was shocked when she saw my wife's appearance. Fortunately, she had experience and realized that this was probably a symptom of hypoglycemia. She quickly made a bowl of sugar water for my wife to drink. After a while, the symptoms of hypoglycemia eased. In fact, there is no big problem with the physiological indicators when such a situation occurs. You must stay calm, eat more, and try not to infuse. Natural is the best.
A new perspective on morning sickness: Morning sickness actually has a protective effect
Morning sickness makes pregnant mothers very uncomfortable, and many people think it is a very annoying and difficult time. However, the latest research shows that morning sickness is not a bad thing and can be protective.
Eugenics experts point out that morning sickness is actually a natural protective response of the human body. It prevents natural toxins from entering the mother's body in the first three months of pregnancy, thereby preventing abnormal embryonic development. Most plants and animals in nature contain toxins, even if only a small proportion are suitable for human consumption. Normally, the human body has the function of resisting and detoxifying these toxins, and eating them will not harm your health. But the developing embryo has no ability and is easily injured by toxins. Therefore, embryos are extremely sensitive to trace amounts of toxic substances. Once they find something suspicious, they will spit it out to protect themselves.
Almost every expectant mother will experience vomiting during pregnancy. The degree of vomiting varies from person to person. I really envy those expectant mothers who have no vomiting reaction during pregnancy. You really have saved yourself a hardship!
Vomiting in early pregnancy is not a disease, but a normal pregnancy reaction during pregnancy. So no need to worry. It is impossible to stop vomiting. I can only relieve it. I soak lemon slices in water. When I feel uncomfortable, I drink some. I think it is quite effective in relieving vomiting in early pregnancy.
The citric acid in lemons is better for pregnant women and fetuses, and drinking lemon water during early pregnancy can also promote gastrointestinal motility, which will also increase the appetite of expectant mothers! But although it tastes good, it is not recommended to drink too much, because lemon water is relatively alkaline and will stimulate gastric juice changes. Just drink 2-3 cups a day. In addition, it is best to peel the lemons because the peel contains fruit wax and pesticide residues. You can also soak them in salt water for ten minutes before slicing them.
Pregnancy is a happy event. Expectant mothers should adjust their mentality and not be too stressed. It also has a certain effect on relieving morning sickness. If you have any tips for relieving morning sickness, you may wish to leave a message and discuss it together!
When many expectant mothers are in the excitement and joy of pregnancy, the troublemaker "morning sickness" comes menacingly. Statistics show that more than half of mothers will experience morning sickness, and most of them have mild symptoms. They usually start around the 5th week after pregnancy, are most severe in the 9th week, and then start around the 16th week (4 months). It gradually lessens, but some people continue to have morning sickness throughout their pregnancy.
What is the cause of morning sickness?
Sorry, the cause of morning sickness is not clear so far. Some experts point out that the occurrence of morning sickness may be related to hormonal changes in pregnant women. The following pregnant women may be more likely to experience morning sickness.
1. Have a history of motion sickness and seasickness before pregnancy.
2. Particularly sensitive to certain smells, which can easily cause vomiting and discomfort.
3. There is a family history of hyperemesis gravidarum.
4. I had hyperemesis gravidarum in my previous pregnancy.
5. Pregnant with twins or multiples.
What should I do if I have morning sickness?
Unfortunately, there is really nothing we can do about morning sickness.
However, if we really encounter hyperemesis gravidarum, we still need to find ways to alleviate it as much as possible.
The following methods may be something you can do when you have morning sickness.
1. Maintain a good attitude, relax and get enough rest.
2. Avoid all unpleasant smells.
3. Choose foods you like as much as possible, but avoid spicy food.
4. Eat small meals frequently. The meal time is not limited to three meals a day. You can eat as long as you don’t vomit.
5. Give priority to foods rich in carbohydrates and easy to digest, such as bread, biscuits and other pastries. The intake of these snacks can avoid the occurrence of fasting, which can make people feel more nauseous and vomiting.
6. You can try to make the taste a little sour. Some people may eat sour food, which can significantly relieve morning sickness.
7. Maybe you can try ginger. Traditional Chinese medicine considers ginger to be the "sacred medicine for vomiting" and can treat all kinds of vomiting. Both ginger water and ginger lozenges can be used to relieve morning sickness. Note that this is single flavor ginger! ! !
8. Vitamin B6 is a drug traditionally used to relieve nausea. It is safe for pregnant women, but it may not be effective for you.
9. Don’t listen to hearsay and try antiemetics.
10. For severe morning sickness, timely medical treatment is the best way.
There is nothing you can do, just vomit, you can only endure it.
If there is any way to relieve the pain, use it, such as going to a place with fresh air, eating something sour, or eating something you like, but even if you do these, there is still a possibility of vomiting. , but fortunately, this state lasts only about a month. Just get through that period and you will be fine.
But sisters, you should also be mentally prepared. A friend of mine has a dog that vomited from pregnancy to giving birth. At the beginning, he never vomited. I am more moderate. According to the textbook, it is about vomiting. It has been almost a month, which fully shows that every pregnant mother’s constitution is different, and the morning sickness is also different.
So, be mentally prepared. In terms of diet, keep it light during that period, and eat well after you stop vomiting.
Vomiting during pregnancy varies from person to person. Some mothers-to-be have morning sickness since the beginning of pregnancy, some have morning sickness after three months of pregnancy, and some mothers-to-be have never had morning sickness at all. So it varies from person to person.
You can’t take random medicines during pregnancy, so don’t buy any antiemetics. However, oral vitamin B6 tablets can be taken to relieve pregnancy vomiting.
See detailed instructions for vitamin B6:
"Indications": Used to prevent and treat vitamin B6 deficiency, such as seborrheic dermatitis and chapped lips. It can also be used to relieve pregnancy vomiting.
Chinese medicinal material - Amomum villosum
Amomum villosum can regulate qi and prevent pregnancy. In addition, for vomiting of pregnancy, restless fetal movements, abdominal pain during pregnancy, and threatened abortion, Amomum villosum seeds are indispensable in the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine doctors, because it is a wonderful medicine for relieving fetuses, promoting qi, and relieving stress. Chew a piece of amomum villosum every time you feel like vomiting, which can quickly prevent vomiting.
The safety of medication during pregnancy cannot be ignored. The above vitamin B6 and amomum villosum can be consumed by pregnant women with confidence.
I had severe vomiting. I started vomiting on the 40th day and continued until I was seven months old. I could only eat a quarter of steamed buns a day.
In the first seven months, in addition to drinking with water, I drank water so that I would have something to vomit when I vomited. Otherwise, I would always retching and vomiting bitter water, literally vomiting out all the gall. I vomited blood for months.
In the past seven months, I have received infusions and hydration and nutritional injections. Oftentimes, infusions are given around the clock.
Three months after the baby was born, I still vomited!
