Myths and Facts about morning sickness

👉Despite its name, “morning” sickness can happen at any time of the day.

☘️Morning sickness, also called nausea is very common during pregnancy and usually starts around 6 weeks of pregnancy. It lasts for weeks or months.

☘️Symptoms usually improve during the second trimester - the middle 3 months of pregnancy.

👉In a few people, however, morning sickness occurs throughout their pregnancy.

☘️Here are a few things you can do to feel better:

👉 Keep a few crackers at bedside and eat a couple before getting up.
👉Eat five or six small meals a day instead of three large meals.
👉Avoid spicy and fatty foods.
👉Eat bland foods such as bananas, rice, dry toast, rice crackers, potato, soup, eggs, tofu, kurmura (puffed rice), makhana (Lotus seeds).
👉Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, throughout the day.
👉Take your prenatal vitamins with your meal/ snack. If your prenatal vitamin contains iron, try taking it at bedtime.
👉Avoid odors, flickering lights, other situations that bother you and trigger your nausea.
👉Make tea with real grated ginger or try ginger Amla candies.
👉Get plenty of rest.
👉Keep rooms well-ventilated, turn on a fan, or go outside from time to time to get some fresh air.
👉Smell fresh-smelling, pleasant scents such as lemon, orange or mint.
👉Talk with your doctor, if nausea is extreme before taking any medicines.
