Morning sickness refers to the nauseated feeling during the first trimester of pregnancy.
405 Questions
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?
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.
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.
Can your husband suffer morning sickness?
No
The father doesn't get "morning sickness", as there are no hormone changes to his body.
Is morning sickness hereditary?
Morning sickness is not yet proven to be hereditary. It occurs on an individual basis depending on your own body chemistry. It also occurs sooner and is more severe in women who are pregnant with multiples.
However, a study published in October 2010 in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology by researchers at UCLA and USC indicates that "familial aggregation" is present for extreme morning sickness, known as "Hyperemesis Gravidarum". Women with HG were at least 5 times as likely as control subjects to have a sister with either severe morning sickness or the more extreme HG. A woman with a sister having HG was 17 times as likely to have HG. Further, one third of women with HG reported a mother with HG--about four times more often than the control group.
Why do you not have morning sickness?

Feeling sick in the morning is also a part of your diet. Don't eat before going to bed and take a multi-vitamin daily.
What does Chorionic villus sampling cost?

What helps with morning sickness?
I am now 37 weeks pregnant and had horrible morning sickness. I tried the crackers and dry, bland foods everyone swore by but the truth is, if it's going to come up there's not much you can do to stop it. In fact, soda crackers were the first thing I threw up and it all went down hill from there. But I did find that my body didn't really want to throw up milk. Cheese and yogurt rotted my stomache, but milk seemed alright. Ginger teas do help calm the stomach and if you can manage to keep it down, gravol is safe for pregnancy. There's another remedy that won't make you sleepy, or sleepier than you already are, and that's ginger root pills. Your doctor may prescribe you Diclectin. It was a god send for the first bit, but your body does eventually try to fight it. There is another solution that worked like a charm everytime, though it is quite controversial. You have to decide whether or not you feel it is right for you. I have many friends who swore by it and I tried it myself, finding it workes the best. If you smoke a little bit of marijuana, it really helps the nausea and increases your appetite. One or two puffs should be do you just fine. I'm not saying go out and buy a garbage bag full of pot to smoke, but in small doses like that, it poses little to no threat to the baby but some women aren't comfortable with it. Like everything else in pregnancy, you have to find what works best for you. Everyone will give you advice and there's nothing wrong with listening and trying, but remember that it's your body and your baby. Some people get very pushy. Good luck
What can you do to cure morning sickness?
Ginger helps relieve nausea. Many women sip ginger ale or eat Ginger Snap cookies. If you do not like the taste of Ginger Snaps, buy ground ginger and put in your food when you are cooking, or you can fill gelatin capsules (get them at the drug store) with ground ginger and take like medicine (check with your doctor to be sure it is okay for you). There are also Ginger candies (often found in Asian markets) and Crystallized ginger in the spice section of the grocery store to eat like candy. Some women say that even just sniffing fresh ginger slices helps.
Chicken stock or broth can be made or bought canned and add quarter sized pieces of fresh ginger (start with four quarter sized round slices and then adjust by taste for more or less ginger flavor) and simmer the broth until the ginger slices have turned a darker color. You may also want to add some lemon grass stems for more flavor. Make this ahead and freeze in ice cube trays so you can make a cup in the microwave with one or two cubes whenever you feel the nausea.
If you like sweeter things, then make ginger tea with water and ginger slices plus honey (or sweetener or sugar) and a twist of lemon to sip. It can also be made ahead and kept in refrigerator to sip cold or reheat in the microwave. Honey is fine for moms-to-be to eat, you have developed the antibodies that are needed to be able to safely eat honey, but it is not something to give a child until at least one year old. Your unborn baby will not be harmed if you eat honey.
Heartburn and indigestion occurs generally in the first trimester and the last trimester. It's very common. The best thing you can do is to start eating smaller/lighter meals and not lie down for at least a half hour after eating, keeping head up on two pillows instead of flat. Many doctors recommend Tums to relieve acid indigestion. Or you could try some of the products for nausea that contain ginger, like Gingera. Ginger has known to help relieve the nausea and indigestion from morning sickness and indigestion in pregnancy, plus motion sickness and sea sickness. There are also wrist bands for sea sickness that use acupressure to stop nausea that many pregnant women have found helpful. Sniff or suck on a slice of lemon or eat soda crackers or saltines to help keep your blood sugar from being too low. Other foods many women suggest are: salty potato chips, pretzels, Popsicles, gelatin desserts, watermelon, sips of lemonade.
If you let foods cool from cooking temperatures to room temperature before serving, since foods have less aroma at that temperature than when hot.
See the related question below: "Why does eating a protein meal late at night prevent morning sickness?" Other contributors have said:
* There is always the "eat crackers before you get out of bed" thing. For me this did not work. I wore sea bands for most of my pregnancy and they worked pretty well. You can buy them in just about any drug store where they have motion sickness medicine. They are little stretchy bands with little plastic balls on them that you wear on your wrists. The little ball pushes something in your wrist that short circuits the message to your brain to be sick. They work really well. Other things that helped me were sucking on lemon slices (sounds awful, but really helps!) and eating dry Cheerios. I kept Cheerios next to my bed for months. Also try to eat them right before you go to sleep and if you get up during the night, try to eat a handful. This almost always prevented sickness the next morning. * Although they taste sour and not sweet, lemons actually have more sugar than many other sweeter tasting fruits. The sweet flavored foods often add to nausea in morning sickness, so that is why lemons can work so well. Some women find salty flavored foods are better. Cheerios, like saltine crackers, are another source of a fast acting carbohydrate that converts quickly in your body to raise your blood sugar, but does not taste too sweet. See the related question below about proteins and morning sickness.
* Many moms swear that ginger helps alleviate the nausea that comes with pregnancy. Eat anything with ginger in it, such as ginger cookies, hard ginger candy or crystallized ginger. Drinking ginger tea is also great, calming your stomach naturally. Just break a piece of fresh ginger root, grate and put in hot water. There are also ginger capsules sold today. Check with your doctor first to be sure that taking this supplement is okay for you. == == * Morning sickness can be prevented by eating plain crackers before even sitting up in bed. Crystallized ginger pieces are good to keep in your hand bag to prevent nausea, as a handy snack. Ginger tea and honey is also very effective. * If you dwell on the fact that you feel ill, you will continue to feel that way, try to distract yourself from it. * Avoid being at your PC for too long, the refresh flicker on the screen is known to cause morning sickness in some people. * Try yogurt, ice cream, apple sauce, and baked potatoes which are also great options. * If you don't like ginger, try a little apple cider vinegar in water with a little honey. This is also very effective. * Saltine crackers and 7-up. Leave some on the bedside table and nibble a few before you even get up. * I found ginger very effective, either plain ginger or ginger beer. A proper one though not ginger flavor soda.
