Help me out with morning sickness, will ya?

Question

I'm just a few months preggers. I've been pregnant before and had no symptoms of morning sickness. Surprise! All pregnancies are different. I don't have morning sickness... I have all afternoon and all night sickness. (Just nasuea). I feel so ill that I haven't done much of anything for fear of getting sick. No foods seem to help, even crackers or peanut butter. Lately I've been feeling full all the time, with an incredible urge to eat something. Weird. Tummy rumbling and all. It isn't the prenatal vitamins because I stopped them for two days and still felt this way. After I resumed, there was no increase in the feeling.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Keep simple snacks, such as crackers, by your bed. When you first wake up, nibble a few crackers and then rest for 20 to 30 minutes before getting up. Snacking on crackers may also help you feel better if you wake up nauseated in the middle of the night. Eat small, frequent meals and snacks throughout the day so that your stomach is never empty. Some women find that carbohydrates are most appealing when they feel nauseated, but one small study found that high-protein foods were more likely to ease symptoms. Avoid fatty foods, which take longer to digest. Also steer clear of rich, spicy, acidic, and fried foods, which can irritate your digestive system. Try drinking fluids mostly between meals. And don't drink so much at one time that your stomach feels full, as that will make you less hungry for food. A good strategy is to sip fluids frequently throughout the day.
Aim to drink about a quart and a half altogether. If you've been vomiting a lot, try a sports drink that contains glucose, salt, and potassium to replace lost electrolytes. Give yourself time to relax and take naps if you can. Watching a movie (preferably not one about food!) or visiting with a friend can help relieve stress and take your mind off your discomfort. Try ginger, an alternative remedy thought to settle the stomach and help quell queasiness. See if you can find ginger ale made with real ginger. (Most supermarket ginger ales aren't.) Grate some fresh ginger into hot water to make ginger tea, or see if ginger candies help. A few studies found that taking powdered ginger root in capsules provided some relief, but be sure to talk to your provider before taking ginger supplements. There's no way to be sure how much of the active ingredient you're getting in these supplements, so some experts think it's best not to use them. (As with many other things that are helpful in small amounts, the effects of megadoses are unknown.)

Also, a vitamin B6 supplement has been found to be helpful for morning sickness.

Answer 2

I had the same problem--with my son, I was fine, except for the 3rd month, but with my daughter--bluh. My mother in law (mother of 5) suggested cinnamon tea, made with the actual cinnamon sticks. Boil about 4 or 5 in about 3-4 cups of water. It worked pretty good. If it's too strong, you can add more water. A lot of times I had to force myself to eat bc even though I felt full and sick, I was going 2 days without eating. It was awful. I stuck to mainly chicken noodle soup or those buttery crackers. I lost weight the first 3 months, and in all, only gained about 24 lbs, compared to the 70 I gained with my son!

Answer 3

The main cause of morning sickness is a combination of issues related to the chemical changes your body is going through. Mix a pinch of nutmeg powder with a table spoon of gooseberry juice, and take it thrice a day. Sip little by little ginger juice mixed with honey before you get out of bed.
