Morning Sickness And Pregnancy, How Long Does It Last?

Morning sicknesses is one the most common symptoms of early pregnancies. Each morning you wake up feeling light-headed and nauseated. It feels like there’s a storm inside your stomach that just won’t stop no matter what you do. You feel like you’re going to throw up but it never comes out.

Most morning sicknesses are normal, but sometimes it can be a sign of other conditions. If morning sickness is accompanied by fever or pain in the abdomen, contact your doctor immediately to make sure you do not have an ectopic pregnancy.

For about 70-80% women, it will go away by 12 weeks. However, for some women it can last longer. In this blog post, we will discuss the possible causes of morning sickness and how long it may last. We also provide some tips to help you deal with morning sickness.

Morning sickness can be very uncomfortable.

If morning sickness lasts for more than three months, it is called Hyperemesis Gravidarum. It may need to be treated with intravenous fluids and medication. Hyperemesis Gravidarum happens in about 1-2 of every 1,000 pregnancies. 

Some of the most common causes of morning sickness are:

•  Hormonal changes during early pregnancy.

• Malnutrition or low blood sugar.

• Anxiety about pregnancy.

If morning sickness is persistent, try these tips:

• Eat small meals often throughout the day.

• Plan healthy snacks for the morning and afternoon, such as whole-wheat crackers with cheese slices.

• Avoid fatty and fried foods. Fatty and fried foods can be difficult on an upset stomach. In addition, they do not provide the nutrients that your baby needs. Try to avoid these types of foods as much as possible and focus on eating healthy and nutritious foods instead.

• Include protein in your diet. Protein is an important part of a balanced diet. Studies have shown that women who eat more protein tend to experience fewer symptoms of morning sickness. Try adding a high-protein food, such as peanut butter or low fat cottage cheese, to each meal you eat throughout the day.

• Stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water will help to keep you hydrated and make you feel better. That will help with fatigue, dry mouth, and the urge to vomit.

• Get plenty of rest. Getting enough sleep is one of the best ways to manage morning sickness. While it might be difficult at first, try to schedule a set time for going to bed each night. If you can go to sleep at the same time each night, your body will begin to prepare itself for sleep.

• Eat ginger root. Ginger has been used medicinally for centuries for nausea relief. Grate some ginger into warm water and drink it when you feel nauseous.

• Exercise during pregnancy is recommended for the overall health of the mother and the baby! Try to exercise 20 minutes a day even if you are nauseous because it will help with fatigue, depression, and stress.

• Try some morning sickness home remedies, such as lemon juice or mint tea.

• Avoid smells that cause morning sickness, such as odors from garlic, onion, and certain foods.

• Take prenatal vitamins with morning sickness to offset any vitamin lost during your pregnancy.

Always seek medical advice if your morning sickness is severe.

Morning sickness can be very uncomfortable, but there are ways to make it more manageable. If you are experiencing morning sickness, try some of these tips to help make your day a little easier. Remember to speak with your doctor if the symptoms persist or become too much for you to handle.
