Ways To Get Rid Of Morning Sickness During Pregnancy
Many pregnant women experience morning sickness during their pregnancy. There are a couple of tricks to avoid this undesirable phenomenon.
Eat protein at regular intervals:- During pregnancy a woman’s protein requirements are higher. If she isn’t getting enough, then she may feel nauseous. A spoonful of nut butter (almond, peanut, and so forth) is a great snack too high in protein. Other protein sources include: dairy products, eggs, etc.
Eat smaller meals throughout the day:- This tip goes with #1. If you are eating every two hours, you may not feel like you have to have three major meals. Smaller meals throughout the day will balance your glucose. Many experts believe that low glucose can cause morning sickness.
Check your multi-vitamin:- Not all prenatal vitamins are made the same (or absorbed by your body in the same way either!). The iron and calcium don’t always originate from natural sources and can cause morning sickness. Really, many of the ingredients in your prenatal vitamin originate from synthetic sources. I believe (and this is simply my opinion, not medical advice!) that the best vitamins originate from entire foods (folic acid from dark green leafy veggies, iron from food sources like spinach, dark red cherries, red beets, and so forth). There are companies that make entire food prenatal vitamins. Ask at your local health food store.
Make sure you are well hydrated:- Sometimes morning sickness can be caused by dehydration. I know, it can be difficult to drink or eat anything if you feel lousy. At the same time, the more got dried out you become, the morning nauseous you may feel. The suggested amount of water you ought to be drinking is 1/2 your body weight in ounces. If you weigh 140 pounds, then you ought to be drinking 70 ounces of water every day. If you don’t like water, consider adding lemon or drinking a diluted juice (100% fruit juice – no sugar). Additionally, coconut water is a totally natural “gatorade”. It restores your electrolytes, and in addition hydrates you.
Consider drinking ginger tea:- Ginger is commonly known to decrease nausea. It’s an amazing tool for women who still feel nauseous in spite of trying everything else. Simply purchase some new ginger from the store, place it in boiling water for 5-10 minutes and after that drink. You can even add a bit of lemon and honey.
Try to get out and exercise. If you feel nauseous constantly, you may not have any desire to get out and exercise. Yet, many women report that they feel great during and after a walk or run. Fresh air might also help you too.
