No other symptom of pregnancy paints such gloomy colors on the first weeks of waiting as morning sickness or morning sickness in the early stages - a symptom that, unfortunately, is a faithful companion of this period in a woman’s life.
Early toxicosis during pregnancy occurs in more than half of expectant mothers. Its most striking representatives are nausea and vomiting, attacks of which usually occur in the first trimester, but some women may be bothered by these symptoms throughout pregnancy. As a rule, if toxicosis does not go away with the end of the first trimester, then by the 15th – 22nd week it still disappears.
There are several reasons for this condition - from increased hormone levels to nutritional disorders. Some chronic diseases, stress and emotional tension, characteristics of a woman’s nervous organization and other factors may also contribute.
Not all of them can be influenced by you to prevent symptoms of toxicosis or reduce their intensity. However, the arsenal of tools available to you is quite large:
• correction of diet and nutrition;
• adequate sleep and rest;
• physical activity;
• stay in the fresh air;
• avoiding smells, tastes and situations that provoke nausea and vomiting;
• snacks that help with nausea (lemon slice, mint candy);
• rise slowly after waking up, preferably after snacking on a couple of crackers in bed.
