Morning sickness is a major symptom of early pregnancy, and few of us who become pregnant are lucky enough to escape it. However, the morning has very little to do with your symptoms.
What is the cause of morning sickness? No one is sure, but the leading candidate is the increase in estrogen that comes with pregnancy. Women who are not pregnant, but are taking estrogen supplements sadly experience similar symptoms.
What is the purpose of morning sickness? Scientists have a theory that it is nature’s way of having the mother avoid taking in toxins. Morning sickness usually happens from 6 through 12 weeks. This is the time the fetus is most susceptible to these to toxins.
So why do the symptoms appear in the morning? For the simple reason that nausea is worse when the stomach is empty. When the stomach has food, it has other things to do which inhibits the nervous system from making nausea its top priority. By morning the stomach is empty so nausea symptoms are at their peak. So, if you are a day sleeper, most likely you would have evening sickness.
So what is the best solution? This is something you have to experiment with. You will have little toleration for spicy, fatty or foods with high concentrations of sugar. Create a diet centered around bananas. rice, tea, toast, applesauce, fruits and vegtables with high water content such as melons and grapes. When you wake up, try toast and tea or soda crackers to reduce the initial nausea. Wait to eat until the nausea improves. Switch to eating five or so small meals a day. This will keep help keep your stomach full. Smells can trigger nausea; staying away from these smells will reduce your nausea. Most important, DO NOT take any treatments for nausea without talking to your physician. You nned to keep your baby in mind.
What if you can’t keep anything down? You need to tell your physician. This is rare, but some women need treatment in the hospital until they can keep food down. You need to keep both the welfare of your baby and yourself in mind.
