I have noticed that this pregnancy is much different from my last and I hope that it means I am having a girl this time.
I am have morning sickness all day long and I looked it up on the internet. I looked up things that will help me
make it threw the day with it. Here are some things.
Don't worry about crumbs in the sheets. Keep crackers by the bed. Eating a few low-sodium crackers as soon as you wake up -- and before you get out of bed -- is the first line of defense against morning sickness.
Eat protein-rich snacks. Nuts, peanut butter, dairy products, and other high-protein foods may help.
Many frequent meals may stave off the
hunger pangs that cause nausea.
Graze. Eat frequent, small meals. You may want to eat five to six times a day rather than having three big meals. Sometimes, hunger pangs bring on the feelings of nausea. That's because acids in the stomach have nothing to digest when there's no food around.
Don't drink and eat at the same time. In other words, drink your fluids between meals, instead of during meals, to avoid too much bulk in the stomach.
Stay fluid. You need at least eight glasses of fluids a day -- it's important not to become dehydrated during pregnancy.
Go for a liquid diet. You may find it easier on your stomach to emphasize liquids over solids when morning sickness is at its worst. Get your nutrients from bouillon, juices, and other liquids. (Confirm that this approach is okay with your obstetrician first.)
Stick to bland foods. This isn't the time to try that new Thai restaurant. Spicy foods just don't cut it right now.
Choose complex carbohydrates. Pasta, bread, potatoes -- the foods you think of as starches -- are easier to digest and they're soothing.
Avoid fatty foods. Fats are harder to digest than carbohydrates or proteins, so high-fat foods may not sit well right now.
Don't sniff. Certain odors often trigger the feelings of nausea, so try to identify any scents that have that effect on you and avoid them as much as possible.
Avoid sudden moves. Don't change your posture quickly, as you do when you get out of bed quickly.
Take vitamin B6. A number of physicians recommend taking a supplement of this vitamin -- the usual dose is 10 to 25 milligrams three times a day -- to combat the nausea of morning sickness. Talk to your doctor before trying a supplement, however, and be sure not to exceed 75 milligrams of the vitamin each day.
Take a walk. Exercise can sometimes help alleviate symptoms. Plus, it's good for your body. Be sure to check with your doctor before trying anything more strenuous than a walk, however.
Don't forget to brush. If you do succumb to vomiting, take good care of your teeth by brushing afterward (at least rinse your mouth if you can't brush right away). Otherwise, the frequent contact with the harsh acids in your vomit can eat away at tooth enamel.
If morning sickness persists past the third month or you find yourself so ill you're losing weight, see your physician. Watch out, too, for becoming dehydrated; you'll feel dizzy when you stand and/or your urine output will be scant and dark colored.
For further information I will leave you with the website where I got this information from.
