Answer 1

u might try ginger root pills. they are in the herbal section at walmart, and are completely safe to consume - even for pregnant women. ginger is the most effective treatment for motion sickness there is, so it might be effective for a pregnant woman. it is totally natural, so it certainly cant hurt to try.

good luck!

Answer 2

Yes there are ways to stop it.
Be back.
I am back.

If you can wait it out it will stop. You will grow out of it.

Other serious answers are god and correct so I will be brief.

If it is not tolerable see a Doctor, we have remedies and cure for most thing but they do have a thing or two for it , doctor should explain the risk, if it is risky it will be taken out of use.

If under the instruction and care of a doctor it should not affect the baby.

There are home remedies also. It is also call morning sickness. Here is one old remedy, keep a glass of water by the bed with a box of simple salt crackers. First thing eat the crackers in Bed, when you wake up move very slowly, drink some water, then get out slowly. Slow and steady wins the race.

Ask your mother, aunts, grand mother your in laws for more such tricks, what worked for them may also work for you.

Finally Why?

Not every one gets sick. Some just are blessed in this respect and have no problem.

Others,suffer and nothing works.

It is believe that it may be combination of lots of things.

1. Hormonal imbalance during hormonal adjustments.

2. Natural process of changing of body shape to make room for the baby to grow, in turn putting pressure on the stomach and the related system.

3. Now you can yourself think of the other like anxiety,.......

Answer 3

Vomiting is perfectly normal and will not hurt the baby. I don't think there is a way to stop it and believe me when I say, vomiting is a good thing. I never got morning sickness but i wish I had sometimes bc the nausea and dry heaving is worse than not being able to throw up. I had to take nausea pills because it was soooooooooooooooo bad. So be lucky you can throw up and get it over with.

Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy

Nausea and Vomiting in pregnancy, commonly called morning sickness, can actually occur at any time of day. Experts are unsure of the exact reasons for it, but believe that it may be due to the rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels, or a reaction to changing hormones. About half of all pregnant woman experience morning sickness.

Some Women Have Tried...

* Eat smaller meals more frequently to keep your blood sugar levels constant.
* Eat something right before you go to bed, preferable a protein food which will take longer to digest.
* If you wake up at night to use the bathroom, stop by the kitchen and eat a small snack to keep your blood sugar level up.
* Avoid foods that trigger nausea for you.
* Try eating the foods you crave, within reason.
* Keep crackers near your bed for you to nibble on before you get up.
* Try drinking your fluids after your meal, not during.

Answer 4

For some women, the nausea of the first trimester is so severe that they become malnourished and dehydrated. These women may have a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). HG refers to women who are constantly nauseated and/or vomit several times everyday for the first 3 or 4 months of pregnant. Try some of these tips to help prevent and soothe nausea: Eat frequent, small meals (6 to 8 small meals a day) rather than 3 large meals. Avoid fatty, fried, or spicy foods. Try eating starchy snacks, like toast, saltines, cheerios, or other dry cereals when you feel nauseated. Keep some by your bed and eat them before you get out of bed in the morning. If you feel nauseous in the middle of the night, reach for these starchy foods. It's also a good idea to keep these snacks with you at all times, in case of nausea. Try drinking carbonated drinks like ginger ale or seltzer water in between meals. Ask your doctor if you should change prenatal vitamins if it seems to be making your nausea worse. Sometimes taking your prenatal vitamin at a different time (e.g. at night not in the morning) can also help. Ask your doctor about taking vitamin B6 for nausea and vomiting that doesn't get better with dietary changes.

Answer 5

Hormone imbalances caused by pregancy.

Talk to your doctor about using over-the-counter Dramamine or getting a B-12 vitamin shot. You can also try nibbling on soda (saltine) crackers; pinching the webbing between the thumb and index finger; accupressure braclets for "sea sickness"; eating less spicy/greasy food; eating smaller meals more often; and/or using Tum or Rolaids after eating -- but be very careful with Tums and Rolaids, too much can cause an electrolyte imbalance that could kill you and baby! Never, ever exceed the recommended dose!

Nope, I was sick several times a day, every day for 9 months solid with my daughter. She's a perfectly fine 15 year old honor student. :)

Answer 6

Well, Joey K makes me want to puke and I'm not even pregnant!

A pregnant woman has feelings of nausea because of the different levels of hormones her body is producing in the growing of the baby. It's completely normal. It will not affect the baby.

I threw up just about all 9 months with all 3 of mine and they all came out just fine. Be sure to take pre-natal vitamins though.

God bless you and your baby!

Answer 7

Hormones, your body recognizes that there is someting foriegn in your body and your chemical balance is thrown off. It should recide about 3 months in to pregnancy and your hormone levels should balance out then as well,

Try bready products right when you wake up in themorning and eat small meals instead of big meals through out the day. If you start feeling dehydrated go see your doctor they can give you fluids through an iv. It usually is harmless to the baby make sure you take your vitamins tho.

Answer 8

There's lots of theories on how to best deal with nausea during pregnancy but nothing can really cure it. One piece of advice I have heard is that it is important to always keep your stomach slightly lined - that is - don't eat heaps or bloat yourself but nibble on small nutritious snacks regularly to keep the nausea at bay and remain well hydrated. It will not affect the baby - approximately 80% of women suffer morning sickness and most have healthy happy babies.

Answer 9

there are some drugs to help but its caused by the total upheaval of hormones, some drugs do affect babies, in the 60s they gave a drug called thalidamide to stop the barfing and babies were born without arms and legs. so you have to just mostly deal with the sickness and let nature take its course.

Answer 10

Morning Sickness

What is the evolutionary advantage of morning sickness? Why are so many pregnant women incapacitated and unable to eat sensibly for the first three months of their pregnancy and how can this possibly help the developing embryo? Do any other animals get morning sickness?



ANSWER 1: The quick answer to this question is that statistically morning sickness reduces the likelihood of miscarriage, pre-term birth, low birthweight and perinatal death. More interesting is the question of how this advantage is conferred. No one really knows, although several theories have been advanced.

The traditional hypothesis is that nausea and vomiting make pregnant women avoid foodstuffs containing chemicals likely to harm the foetus during the critical period of organ formation.

There is a variety of evidence to support this: symptoms peak when embryonic organogenesis is most susceptible to chemical disruption, between 6 and 18 weeks into pregnancy; women who experience morning sickness are less likely to miscarry than women who do not; women who vomit suffer fewer miscarriages than those who experience nausea alone; and many pregnant women have aversions to alcoholic and caffeinated drinks and strong-tasting vegetables, especially during the first trimester.

However, because it appears that the greatest aversions are to meat, fish, poultry and eggs, the theory now goes that the purpose is to reduce exposure to potential food-borne pathogens. This may be because the immune system is weakened during this period of pregnancy.

An interesting alternative hypothesis put forward recently is that starving the mother during the first trimester causes a corresponding increase in the size of the placenta. This ensures better nutrition for the foetus for the rest of the pregnancy, reducing the risk of miscarriage.

This has been known to sheep farmers for some time. Apparently, many of them ensure that their ewes are mated while feeding on poor pasture, where they remain for the first half of the pregnancy before being moved to better pasture for the remainder. The result is larger lambs, presumably because the starvation during early pregnancy results in a larger placenta.

However, one study of this in humans which failed to find any significant link between vomiting in early pregnancy and higher birthweight. On the other hand, vomiting in late pregnancy was found to lead to significantly reduced birthweight.

ANSWER 2: Margie Profet, a physician has written extensively on morning sickness as an evolutionary adaptation. She argues that food aversions and vomiting in early pregnancy are a way of ensuring that embryos are protected from toxins that could harm them while the limbs and major organ systems are forming.

There is, however, a cost associated with pregnancy sickness: the loss of important nutrients. It is presumably for this reason that morning sickness stops once the embryo has developed into a foetus and is less vulnerable to toxins. One recent study found that morning sickness is likely to harm the foetus if the mother already suffers from poor nutrition. But for well-nourished women, the adaptive view of morning sickness implies that they should be wary of treatment that eliminate symptoms.

More research is needed into morning sickness in other animals, but most mammals and other creatures already display an innate or learned aversion to potentially harmful foods. Some mammals show physiological changes during pregnancy that heighten sensitivity to toxins. But Profet points out that morning sickness is likely to evolve in creatures that experiment, eating a variety of foods.

Women can experience dangerous amounts of vomiting during pregnancy, and should always seek medical advice. But in general they should look upon morning sickness not as an affliction but as a mechanism designed to protect the embryo.
