Although it is true that most women experience their most intense nausea and vomiting symptoms in the morning, the fact is that “morning sickness” can and often is felt during any time of the day.75% of women are affected by nausea and vomiting symptoms, usually beginning about week six and continuing through week 14 to 18; there are a few women, however, who continue experiencing symptoms throughout their pregnancies. But, no matter how long the symptoms last, it is an unpleasant condition which should not be dismissed just because it is common or temporary.

It is likely a combination of hormonal, physical, and psychological factors which is responsible for morning sickness, though each woman is different and the causes have not been clearly identified.Among these is hCG, or human chorionic gonadtropin (the pregnancy hormone), which causes many of the changes in a pregnant woman’s body; also likely to blame are increasing levels of estrogen, which is linked to a pregnant woman’s sensitivity to smells.

Some researchers believe that, for some women, feeling nauseated or throwing up is their natural response to stress, so it is normal for them to have morning sickness during pregnancy.Generations of women swear by certain strategies to bring nausea relief; while these have not been scientifically confirmed, they remain potential, non-medication options for you to try.

Avoid letting your stomach get so empty it growls – you should eat frequently during the day so there’s always “something in there”; be sure to keep some crackers by your bed so you can have something when you wake up. Stay in bed for another half hour or so to let your stomach settle and then try to get up – you may find your nausea is relieved this way.It’s a smart rule of thumb for pregnant women to take their time in the mornings, and not get up right away.

Foods that are rich (fatty or fried), or spicy or acidic are often nausea and vomiting triggers; however, some studies show relief with high-protein foods (though women tend to crave high-carbohydrate ones) – so experiment.Even if it means having an unbalanced diet, it’s usually all right to avoid any and all foods that are causing you nausea – don’t force yourself.Avoid eating foods while hot, since they have stronger odors; eat them cold or at room temperature, and try to choose bland foods overall.

Having lots of beverages is important, as it helps replace liquids lost in vomiting, though you will want to avoid drinking too much with food; in between meals, try cold carbonated drinks, sports drinks, and anything with real ginger, like a ginger tea or ginger ale (check the label).

Keep in mind that nausea triggers can be unrelated to food – like motion sickness or heavy odors (such as perfume); you might also consider techniques like using an acupressure wristband or even hypnosis.Morning sickness is stressful and can make for a very unhappy pregnancy; for this reason, feel confident to ask your doctor about anti-emetic (anti-nausea) medications that might work for you if none of the natural remedies provide relief.
