Morning Sickness Symptoms – Symptoms that Indicate Alls Well

You had thought you would grow more radiant with each passing month and look more beautiful than ever. Unfortunately, the morning sickness symptoms got to you and your dreams were dashed.

The Good News

Every woman is unique in pregnancy and so are the symptoms of morning sickness in each one. Some fortunate women never suffer from it but more often than not, morning sickness in varying intensities will be present as a sign of pregnancy. The good news is that nausea and morning sickness indicate that your pregnancy is going well.

When Should I Expect Morning Sickness to Hit Me?

Although called morning sickness, it can hit you at any time during the day, morning, afternoon or evening. It usually starts in the 6th week of pregnancy when the placenta begins to produce the hormone, human chrorionic gonadotropin or HCG. This symptom peaks during week 8 and 9 and goes away by week 13.

Some of the things you can do to cure morning sickness or even prevent morning sickness are

Don’t eat fried foods- Don’t eat fried fatty foods because the body takes longer to digest them and so you may feel nauseas just looking at them.

Have lots of simple sugars. Fruits like orange juice contain simple sugars.

Try out new things till you find the right way to go for you. Something that worked for your friend may not work as well for you.

Munch on tit bits or a small snack to keep away heartburn. The stomach makes excessive amounts of acids during pregnancy and an empty stomach will only aggravate heartburn.

Drink lots of fluids like juices, water and some herbal teas.

Eat ginger or drink ginger ale to settle the queasiness in you tummy.
Relax, stay calm and peaceful and do not worry too much. Always remember that morning sickness symptoms are temporary. Soon you will be entering the best phase of your pregnancy.
