Coping with Nausea (Morning Sickness)
Nausea is a classic early pregnancy symptom. While it's often called 'morning sickness,' it can happen at any time.
Common Causes
- Increased levels of pregnancy hormones like hCG and estrogen.
- Enhanced sense of smell and sensitivity to odors.
- A sensitive stomach as your body adjusts to pregnancy.
Safe Remedies & Tips
- Eat small, frequent meals rather than three large ones.
- Keep plain crackers or dry toast by your bed to eat before getting up.
- Sip on ginger tea or chew ginger candies.
- Avoid spicy, greasy, or highly fragrant foods.
- Stay hydrated, but sip fluids slowly between meals.
When to call the doctor
Always consult your healthcare provider if your symptoms are severe, sudden, or accompanied by other worrying signs like fever, bleeding, or intense pain.
