morning sickness?

Question

what should i do for morning sickness i have it an i want it to stop

Answer 1

try eating smaller portions of food so you can eat something small more often. get enough to drink. you can get very dehydrated. The nurses suggest smelling something strong like an alcohol pad or something. Toast is good.

Answer 2

I had a fairly bad case of morning sickness, and I think it's fine to take medication to stop it if that's what you need. It's not always short-lived, and some women have it so bad they can't keep any fluids down and end up in the hospital on IV fluids because of dehydration! There were many days I would have had to call in sick to work if it weren't for the medicine.

My doctor prescribed Phenergan for nighttime--it'll make you sleepy but it works. Zofran is good for during the day but is expensive if your insurance won't cover it. You can get a generic form of both. Of course, before you start taking medicine you should try some natural remedies. Sour candy like Tootsie Roll Pops, or if you can find them Preggie Pop Drops, helped me. They can be ordered from threelollies.com, but can be hard to find in stores. I found that Sea Bands helped sometimes as well. When I really felt like running to the toilet any second, I liked to put a cold pack on my forehead or neck.

I hope this helps!

First of all, DO NOT take any medications to stop it. Neither
prescribed or OTC. This is a normal part of early pregnancy.
Some of the ways you can reduce extreme nausea are 1) Keep soda crackers beside yur bed--eat a few before you even raise your head. 2) Get up slowly, do not eat or drink anything for 1 hour. 3)For breakfast eat bland food/ 2 poached eggs (no coffee,tea,sodas, etc. Stop all spiced/greasy/heavy/junk foods. No Pepsis or sodas except cold 7-up. Lunch: Again, bland: no lunchmeats/no mexican food/ eat plainly checken noodle soup or poached salmon. Dinner:Same thing, If it's heavy/spicy/fried/etc., don't eat it.
This is a condition that will not last that long. Your body is
going thru extreme changes and when it's on the baby-growing path, it will settle down. Then you can pig out.
Only kidding! Eat healthy during and after pregnancy, and
you won't have all that baby blubber to get rid of.

Answer 5

You can't make it stop, but you can make it manageable.
- Try not to let yourself get an empty belly... it will make you feel most nauseated. This means eating smaller portions, but eating often.
-Keep a package a dry, unsalted crackers by your bed... eat a couple before you get out of bed in the AM. (part of the no-empty-bellies suggestion
-Drink ginger tea.
-Take your prenatal vitamin before bed, with orange juice. The iron and calcium have a reaction to each other and sometimes cause extra nausea. The OJ helps you absorb the iron better/quicker.

Answer 6

With my first, I had morning sickness when I took my prenatal vitamins in the morning, I had to switch to taking them at night. Plus I couldn't drink milk in the mornings, it would make me nauseous. With my second child I only got sick when I brushed my teeth (kind of defeated the purpose, huh) or looked at schrimp. Everyone is different. Try to see if there is anything that triggers it. It will work itself out in time, though.

Answer 7

I had the same problem try eating just a couple pieces of toast in the morning then wait a bit and try something else i used to do that and it worked. Or if its really really bad and you cant handle it your doctor can give you something for it , i know i did and after i took those pills i was eating like a fat slob lol .

Answer 8

There are a number of remedies for morning sickness. These include:

* Eat small, frequent meals. When the stomach is empty, it produces acid that irritates the stomach lining. In addition, an empty stomach can cause low blood sugar, which can also cause nausea.
* Eat foods high in proteins and complex carbohydrates. Protein foods (e.g., eggs, cheese, and yogurt) and complex carbohydrates (e.g., whole-grain breads and cereals, dried beans and peas, and baked potatoes) discourage stomach upset and are also beneficial to both mother and baby.
* Avoid foods and beverages that do not sound appealing. Pregnant women usually experience at least one food aversion. The more appetizing a food appears to be, the more likely it is to stay down.
* Stay hydrated. Dehydration can worsen nausea, so pregnant women should drink plenty of fluids. If a woman has an aversion to fluids, she can eat foods with a high water content, such as watermelon, grapes, and other fruits.
* Try a vitamin B6 supplement. Vitamin B6 reduces nausea in some women, and is not harmful in recommended doses during pregnancy. Women should consult their healthcare practitioner before taking supplements.
* Eat or drink ginger. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) settles the stomach for some women. Ginger tea and foods made with ginger (such as ginger snaps) are usually available at grocery or health food stores.
* Try an herbal infusion. An infusion, or tea, of two parts black horehound (Ballota nigra), one part meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), and one part chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), taken three times a day, can soothe morning sickness for some women. Women should always consult their healthcare practitioner before taking herbal remedies during pregnancy.
* Wear sea bands. Sea bands are elastic bands worn around the wrists which place pressure on the inner wrist, an acupressure point for controlling nausea. They are usually used for controlling carsickness and seasickness.
* Keep the mouth fresh. Mints and regular tooth brushing can decrease excess saliva. Using a mouth rinse and/or brushing the teeth after vomiting is a good idea to control tooth decay and lessen stomach upset.
* Stay well rested. Fatigue and stress can make morning sickness worse.

Allopathic Treatment

Some women with extreme cases of morning sickness may develop a condition known as hyperemesis gravidarium (excessive vomiting during pregnancy). These women are at risk for dehydration and insufficient weight gain, and may require bed rest and intravenous nutrition and fluids if vomiting cannot be controlled.

Several antiemetic, or antivomiting, medications are available for pregnant women. Antiemetic medication should always be prescribed by a physician familiar with its use and with the patient's medical history. Antiemetics may be contraindicated (or not recommended) for patients with certain medical conditions. They may also interact with other medications.

Expected Results

Morning sickness treatments have varying success. Some women will find one or more remedies that can completely cure their nausea, while others may remain sick throughout their pregnancy. In addition, women expecting two or more babies usually experience heightened morning sickness due to the higher level of pregnancy hormones in their bodies, and may suffer from nausea and vomiting for a longer time than women with a single pregnancy. However, for the majority of pregnant women, nausea stops or at least diminishes by the end of the first trimester.

Prevention

The best cure for preventing bouts of nausea is to eat frequently. Many women find that eating six small meals or snacks a day (morning, mid-morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and bedtime) prevents stomach upset. Getting adequate rest can also help to keep morning sickness at bay.
