Morning sickness refers to the nauseated feeling during the first trimester of pregnancy.

405 Questions

What causes prolonged morning sickness during a pregnancy?

No one knows for sure but is thought to have something to do with hormones and other changes in the body-possible causes thought to include:

  • Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone rises rapidly during early pregnancy. No one knows how hCG contributes to nausea, but it's a prime suspect because the timing is right: Nausea tends to peak around the same time as levels of hCG. What's more, conditions in which women have higher levels of hCG, such as carrying multiples, are associated with higher rates of nausea and vomiting.
  • Estrogen. This hormone, which also rises rapidly in early pregnancy, is another suspect. (It's possible that other hormones play a role as well.)
  • An enhanced sense of smell and sensitivity to odors. It's not uncommon for a newly pregnant woman to feel overwhelmed by the smell of a bologna sandwich from four cubicles away, for example. Certain aromas instantly trigger the gag reflex. (Some researchers think this may be a result of higher levels of estrogen, but no one knows for sure.)
  • A sensitive stomach. Some women's gastrointestinal tracts are simply more sensitive to the changes of early pregnancy. Also, some research suggests that women with a stomach bacterium called Helicobacter pylori are more likely to have nausea and vomiting. Not all studies confirm this link, though.
  • Stress. Some researchers have proposed that certain women are psychologically predisposed to having nausea and vomiting during pregnancy as an abnormal response to stress. However, there's no conclusive evidence to support this theory. (Of course, if you're constantly nauseated or vomiting a lot, you certainly may begin to feel more stressed!)

Can a woman gets pregnant while having a IUV inserted?

Pregnancy on the IUD is unlikely. Getting pregnant during your period is also unlikely. Taken together -- it's possible to get pregnant during your period on the IUD, but it would be a huge shock.

What percent of pregnant women don't have morning sickness?

Approximately 75% of pregnant women have some degree of morning sickness in early pregnancy.

Can morning sickness suddenly stop during first three monthsof pregneancy?

mine stopped suddenly for 3 days now and i am just 10 weeks pregnant. I am busy eating (though i am still not eating as much as pre-pregnancy) and being grateful that I don't have to puke in plastic bags in traffic on my way to work. There is still some slight nausea and I take my anti-nausea meds as prescribed. My morning sickness lasted all day and was so bad I thought of quitting my job. I was placed on 3 different anti-nausea meds because none was working. Now I am back to the first one and it's working now. I am so happy. I am not cramping or bleeding so I am not worried really. Worrying wouldn't change a negative outcome anyway. I am just so so happy to be rid of the intense vomitin and spitting. I plan to do an ultra sound withing a month because I want to see my cutie again and also to assure myself that the absense of my morning sickness is what I think it is- an answer to many prayers!

Im almost 3 months so when will your morning sickness stop?

Poor you! It is horrible, I know, and can really spoil life for a while.

With most women it stops at 14-16 weeks. For a few unfortunate ones, it persists, but there is no reason to believe that you will be that unlucky.

So, I am sure you know about eating little and often and avoiding greasy foods and

making sure, if you are unlucky enough to be sick several times a day that you do drink enough water in small lots, so that some of it stays down.

Try to rest, that helps.

Why do you feel sick when it is time to go to school?

(I feel sick before i go to school sometimes, not always though. Right now i feel like i am going to get sick but im going to go to school no matter what. My mom says that if i get sick at school then i can come home, and she never believes me and she always asks me these weird questions. But she always thinks i am faking it when i am not. i wish i could just stay home.)

A:Sickness might be described as a disturbance in the usual mental or physical functions.

The degree of this functional disturbance depends of the function itself; if it is reaching the level of causing a negative effect on your life, than you have to seek medical help.

If this functional disturbance is not caused by any pathological reason, and can be remedied by simple behavioral changes, then your recovery depends on your motivation, will, and ability to distance yourself of the causative or influencing factors.

A:That was the answer for a bit older ones. A much simpler version for you would be:

Could you think about why?

  • do you feel sick only on some days?
  1. Is it because some subject is on that particular day, and you might have some problems with that subject? If yes, you need someone to help you with this subject. Someone who can explain it to you the way you do understand. It is all right, if you do not understand some subjects. Nobody understand everything !
  2. Is is because you have some issue with your teacher who teaches that particular subject? Teachers are peoples, and people are different. They speak differently, they behave differently. You might misunderstand your teacher, as he/she might be different from your favorite one. Your teacher might misunderstand you. He/she might think you are not interested in the subject.It might be a good idea, if you can approach this teacher for some help in understanding your subject- that way you get a good help, and your teacher sees that you are interested. How about that?
  3. Could it be that you had some problems with some students the day before and you hesitate to front them the following day? It could happen, everybody met some bullies. You have to speak with someone you trust, and is ABLE to advise you SINCERELY, and WISELY. It is a serious issue, don't let it upset you. Confide in someone, preferably ADULT.
A:You could really be sick, you know. If you feel that way, you have to ask your parents to take you to the doctor. It is not right to go to school if you are sick. You would not be able to listen, learn, partake in your class activity. It, also, might make your symptoms worse over a time. It could be just something very easy to treat! So, why suffer unnecessarily?

Think, please, about those questions, and if you have thought about them, speak to your parents or your favorite teacher, someone you know would listen and take you seriously.

If you have to use the bathroom all the time does it mean im pregnant?

No, not necessarily. Urinating often IS common during the first and third trimerster of pregnancy, but you could also have other health issues going on. (ex: bladder infection) You should discuss it with your physician.

Why do i feel sick every night?

I have the very same problem...

I am 12...

I think it may just be because im hungry...

Is it a bad sign if you have no morning sickness?

Not everyone gets morning sickness. Count yourself lucky.

What does morning sickness feel like?

Morning sickness will feel different for everyone, but the feeling of nausea is common. A pregnant woman may have intense instances of vomiting, occassional nausea, or uncomfortable queasiness. Headaches, fatigue and dizziness are common, as is an aversive sensitivity to particular smells.

What weeks of pregnancy are the worst for morning sickness?

I believe that between weeks 6-12 are meant to be the worst, but a lot of women find that it goes on longer, until week 14 or over.

I expect you have been recommended to have a biscuit(UK) or cracker(US) by your bed and to eat it before getting up, to drink plenty of fluids a small amount at a time, and to avoid an empty stomach, as this makes it worse. Get plenty of rest.

Hang in there, it passes!

What medication can I take for morning sickness?

I had very severe nausea and vomiting while pregnant. Ask your OBGYN for an anti-nausea medication. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the actual med but I do know it exists and wont hurt the baby.

Could feeling sick but not having the morning sickness vomiting be a sign of being pregnant?

Absolutely! You can just be queasy or not feel any thing at all. If you are pregnant, the farther along you get, the more stable the increased levels of hormones get. One of the causes of morning sickness is the higher levels of hormones in your body. That is why pregnancy tests work better when not taken too early. Each pregnancy can also be very different.

Sudden disappearance of morning sickness what does that mean?

Absolutely not. Different women handle their pregnancies in different ways, and not all women get morning sickness. Some women just don't get it in the first trimester. If you are unsure whether you are pregnant or not, either see your doctor or buy an over the counter pregnancy test from your local pharmacy.

Is stress a psychological problem or a sickness?

1. STRESS:Stress is certainly not a psychosomatic disorder.

What is stress?

Stress is hyperactivity at rest. Stress occurs in the mind. However, in stress no thoughts are involved and therefore it doesn't distort thinking. Thus, by any definition it can't be considered as a mental disorder.

Where does stress occur?

Human mind has seven layers or states the lowest being the least power consuming and thus is just used to hibernate.

The normal default mind is the central part called natural mind that just maintains status quo and we can't afford to use it because we want to progress relentlessly.

The topmost layer is the Compulsive mind which is the most power consuming. However, it makes us highly energetic and converts any of our thoughts into actions easily.

Thus, we modern people use compulsive mind as default mind.

What causes stress?

Stress is caused by using Compulsive mind for prolonged periods while at rest. Therefore, stress is more when business is less. It is less when business is more even if wo

rk load is more.

Stress is a feeling indicating prolonged wastage of energy.

It must be mentioned here that stress can be reduced by a business management expert also by improving the business.

2. PSYCHOSOMATIC DISORDER:Psychosomatic disorders are caused by failed competitive blockade.

In competitive blockade we make a feeling of physical abnormality to enter the conscious mind at precisely the same time as a mental abnormality.

Initially this mechanism prevents both the physical and mental problems from manifesting and thus gives false peace and false control over our body and mind . Thus, by a simple trick we get rid of two problems.

However, if the blockade fails then the physical problem starts appearing to be as big as the mental problem and comes at times when we expect the mental problem. It is also resistant to treatment.

Therefore, stress can't be considered as a psychosomatic disorder

Is it bad for pregnant women to hold in their vomit?

You may be experiencing what's called "stress urinary incontinence," (SUI) involuntary urination caused by pressure on the bladder. This can happen when you vomit, sneeze, cough, laugh, lift heavy objects, or exercise, especially if your bladder is full. Women who are significantly overweight, diabetic, older, or have had past pregnancies, especially if they had vaginal delivery with forceps, are more at risk. Women are more likely to develop this symptom later in pregnancy, because the expanding uterus and growing fetus already put significant pressure on the bladder.

SUI is usually caused by one of two things: either the muscles of the pelvic floor (which supports the bladder) have lost tone, or the urinary sphincters (the valves in the urethra that hold back urine) are weak.

Symptoms often resolve within a few months after delivery, particularly if you do Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles around the vagina, anus and urethra (see link in Related Links for instructions). Kegel exercises are safe in pregnancy.

Meanwhile, you may want to wear a sanitary pad to catch minor leakage.

Always discuss unusual or troubling symptoms with your doctor.

What can be the cause of you vomiting all day?

You may be pregnant if you are female.

In any case, go see a doctor for Stomach flu/virus, or food poisoning.

Be sure to stay hydrated; soup and crackers are good!

Stay to the BRAT diet.

Banana

Rice

Applesauce

Toast; Plain, no butter!!!

Dairy is not good for nausea and vomiting, it only makes it worse. Steer clear of dairy products for a little while until you feel better.

Why do you get sick when pregnant?

Many women are sick during pregnancy - if you are lucky you won't suffer from morning sickness.

Will the baby gain weight if the mother has morning sickness everyday?

No, don't worry, it's a sign that the hormones are going up as they should. Very uncomfortable for you, but a healthy sign. For most women it goes by 12-14 weeks.

It can persist for longer for the unlucky few.

As long as you are able to keep some fluids down during the day, your baby will thrive and syphon off nutrients from you. It is important to try and keep drinking fluids - even if they come up again - because some will get through. It's important to avoid becoming dehydrated.

Some women find sucking ice cubes helps. Others swear by mint tea, or flat coke, or ginger beer. There is that thing that everyone recommends - the biscuit by the bed, and maybe a little milk - but it can be so-o-o annoying when people recommend that to you and you've tried it already and it doesn't work.

Try and rest. That can be easier said than done, but that helps, too.

Try and eat small meals often. An empty stomach makes things worse.

Does that help? Look forward to that baby!

Wish you better soon.

Can you still have pregnancy symptoms even though the doctor told you the heartbeat stopped developing?

Unfortunately, some babies do die in utero, and are not delivered until later. Other things trigger labor (i.e. shifting of the placenta). If the baby's activity changes to less than it has been, checking in with the doctor is very wise.

Im 6 weeks pregnant and i cannot eat anything?

You should consult your doctor or physician, seriously.

Make sure you consume things that are high in protein, don't do vigorous work, and let your baby listen to some calm, ambient music over the headset.

It helps.

Stop drinking, smoking or taking drugs if possible.

How do you get rid of that sick feeling in your stomache when you do not eat?

You eat. That is the only way and the best way.

That is your body telling you that it needs food to keep you healthy and alive. I agree with the answer above 'eat.' The best thing to eat is something that has protein. Since our bodies are mostly protein, it is an important resource. It is the building block for most all body tissues and is involved in most of the body's metabolic processes. Some good proteins can be peanut butter, yogurt, cheese, nuts and seeds, egg whites (cooked), and soy bean products.

How long after pregnancy do you vomit?

Everybody reacts differently to pregnancy. But with all four of my children, I got over being nauseated usually by the 3rd or 4th month.
