Pregnancy is the most amazing time for any women, it’s the best phase of ones life, the feeling of carrying your baby can never be described in words. The only hitch in this beautiful journey is morning sickness.
Ohh!! Such a bubble breaker, but all
good things come with a pinch of salt. So morning sickness comes with
pregnancy.
Nearly every to be mom suffers with
it, begins around the 4th week gradually goes up with the 8th
and 9th week being the zenith time. The symptoms of morning sickness reduce as
you reach 18th week.
There isn’t much you can do to deal
with morning sickness except try a few alternative methods as excessive use of
medication to cure it should be avoided.
1. During the 8th week
when your morning sickness is at its peak try and avoid work, its best cure is
to sleep it over. Going to work may not be the right thing to do as it will
unnecessary make you hyper and jittery.
2. Morning sickness is a lot
associated with smell too. At times during the day a bad odor can aggravate it,
in such times keeping a lemony fragrance or an herbed fragrance like thyme and
rosemary can help you with some kind of relief. Breathing in fresh air
will also help you a lot.
3. Eating a good breakfast also
helps in bringing the acids down thus relieving you to some extent. But make
sure you start your day with a glass of cold milk or flavored cold milk and not
caffeine. Caffeine is known to increase morning sickness. Having a bowl of
fruits some nuts and cereal is a good way to start your day and help morning
sickness stay away.
4. Talking about what bothers you
will also help you. Let me explain no ones knows what can trigger morning
sickness not even you. But if you are aware that certain food s or smells make
you sick talk about it to your family to your husband. This way they are aware
of what is making you sick and can help you stay away from such odors.
5. Keep a track of when your
sickness triggers the most, during early hour’s of the morning or afternoons or
evenings or late nights. Once you are able to know what time you feel sick the
most some preventive steps can be taken at that time to keep the sickness at
bay. An outdoor walk or may be lighting up some calming aroma candles, even a
small drive or a shot of cold milk or an ice cream treat all these can help you
feel better.
6. Drink lots and lots of fluids.
Every article on pregnancy I have maintained how essential it is to keep your
body well hydrated. In this case it also helps too sipping on water or coconut
water or juices the entire day will also help in dealing with morning sickness.
7. Eat healthy and fresh food.
Processed foods or salty fried foods can also trigger acidity thus causing
morning sickness. Keeping a healthy diet does wonders to you your baby and
helps in reducing morning sickness.
8 Eat every other hour. Eating small
and frequent meals is also a great way to fight morning sickness. Never over
eat and nor under eat in both cases you will suffer from nausea.
9. Keep yourself busy and distracted
either with getting your home ready for your bundle of joy or just stepping out
and meeting friends even a walk in a park keep yourself busy.
10. Stay positive and happy. Smiling
is the best medicine and therapy. So all thru your pregnancy child birth even
post pregnancy keep smiling and stay positive it will have some marvelous
effects on you and your baby.
