About 70% of pregnant women in the first trimester suffer from nausea and vomiting. They are considered normal and even talk about a healthy pregnancy. But only in cases where vomiting is not repeated and the expectant mother does not lose weight. This condition requires medical supervision.
Symptoms of toxicosis often appear in the morning, immediately after waking up. Sometimes, due to severe nausea, it is impossible even to brush your teeth - toothpaste causes a gag reflex.
There are several ways to prevent nausea.
As soon as you wake up, do not rush to get out of bed. A sharp rise can provoke vomiting.
It is advisable to keep water, croutons, breads or crackers by the bed. While lying in bed, take a few sips of water and eat a few biscuits. These foods suppress bouts of nausea.
If you dislike toothpaste, temporarily replace it with mouthwash. Closer to lunchtime, as soon as the condition improves, you can try to brush your teeth in the usual way.
Try to eat often and in small portions. Do not starve at all. With an empty stomach, he will certainly start to vomit.
Lemon will help fight nausea. Drink a glass of lemon water, or simply chew on a small piece of citrus.
