How to Cope with Morning Sickness
A very common side effect during pregnancy, morning sickness can appear as early as week four but usually happens around week 6 of your pregnancy. While most women will experience a lessening of symptoms by the beginning of their second trimester, some women may experience morning sickness throughout their entire pregnancy!
Thankfully, there are ways to cope with morning sickness and make the symptoms more manageable.
First and foremost, try to avoid food that looks unappetizing or makes you feel nauseated. It’s also recommended that you eat food that’s cold or room temperature because these types of foods tend to give off less nauseating odors than hot food.
Keeping crackers around can also help quell nausea, as well as other simple snacks like that. Additionally, eat small meals throughout the day rather than three large meals to avoid overeating or overwhelming your stomach. Bland foods are best if you are suffering from severe morning sickness (which, despite it’s name, can occur at anytime throughout the day.)
Fatty and fried foods are also things to stay away from.
If nothing seems to work and you still suffer from nausea throughout the day, you may want to speak with your physician about anti-nausea medications that are safe for you to take during pregnancy.
Otherwise, try these methods to cope with morning sickness and take heart that there ARE ways to manage the symptoms.
