 Pregnancy morning sickness is a phenomenon which very few
people have a clear understanding of.  Doctors
suggest it is due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, usually in the first
trimester, and possibly also to due to low sugar levels. Whatever the cause,
morning sickness symptoms can make you miserable and, with almost half of all
pregnant women experiencing it, the desire to stop morning sickness is very
common.

There are many are many natural ways that you can stop
morning sickness.  Simple suggestions
such as not sitting up or standing too quickly, or carrying crackers or almonds
with you in nibble can work well. 

One key thing you can do to help stop morning sickness is to
avoid any smell or taste that makes you nauseous.  Listen to your body!  If something makes you nauseous, keep well clear.

Another helpful suggestion is avoiding large meals, which
can make you feel over full, replacing them with 5 to 6 small snack type meals
a day.  One easy way to stop morning
sickness is to make sure you have something in your stomach at all times,
preferably something that is not high in fats or grease.

So when pregnancy nausea hits, try eating a shaving of fresh
ginger, or eating potato chips instead of saltine crackers.  These taste great (not bland), and because many
women experience pregnancy nausea due to an increase in the secretion from
their saliva glands, salt and vinegar chips are suggested to stop morning sickness
symptoms.  The salt and vinegar flavour
has been proven to soak up excess saliva, and this can have the desired effect:
to stop morning sickness.

Make sure you have your blood iron levels checked, because
this also can make you feel dizzy, and lightheaded and nauseous, which can add
the uncomfortable experience of morning sickness symptoms.

Pregnancy should, after all, be a time of great enjoyment
for a woman, but this is difficult to imagine when your head is in the toilet
bowl!  If you use these and other
suggestions to help you stop morning sickness, you may discover that your
pregnancy is a wonderful experience.

Discovering that you are pregnant should bring great joy, but this joy can soon be overshadowed by the spectre of pregnancy morning sickness.  From around pregnancy week 4, it is normal to feel less than energetic and tired, but half of all pregnant women begin to experience morning sickness from around this time.

Throughout the years there have been many morning sickness remedies suggested in an attempt to alleviate the suffering of pregnant women, and the fact is that various morning sickness remedies work to differing degrees from woman to woman, with some of them yielding no effect at all.

The first thing to recognise about morning sickness remedies is that, if you have been suffering from severe vomiting, you must seek medical attention.  There is a significant risk of dehydration and malnourishment if you are vomiting excessively during this period, and these symptoms need to be seen to by a medical practitioner.

For those expectant mothers suffering pregnancy morning sickness symptoms, here is a list of suggestions, which could point you in the right direction towards finding the morning sickness remedies that will work for you.

1. Watch what you eat.

If you are suffering from pregnancy morning sickness, one of the easiest morning sickness remedies to apply is to monitor what you eat.  You should eat frequently, and you should eat only small meals.  If you are suffering from pregnancy nausea, you may not feel like eating at all, however, you must make sure that you and your growing baby are receiving the proper nutrients, so the best idea is to be snacking, rather than eating large meals. Try eating a snack before going to bed, because this will keep your blood sugar level elevated during the night, which experts believe could have a positive effect on your pregnancy nausea.

1. Get plenty of sleep.

If you feel tired and run down, this will increase your morning sickness symptoms as well.  One of the best morning sickness remedies around is to get more sleep, and when you get up, make sure you get out of bed slowly.  Try waking up a bit earlier, dosing for a while and letting yourself lie in bed for about half an hour.  Ask your partner to make you some tea to sip on and snack on a few dry crackers before getting up.

1. EFT: Emotional Freedom Technique.

This is a natural healing technique, which can yield amazing results.  It involves a form of acupuncture that you can perform yourself without needles, combining the power of mind and body using pressure points, to find relief from your pregnancy nausea.  It may not help everybody, but many women have found that it is an effective pregnancy, morning sickness remedy. Acupuncture may also be worth considering.

1. Aromatherapy.

This is often overlooked in morning sickness remedies, but many mothers find that scents such as lavender, Camomile and Rose can have a positive effect in reducing morning sickness symptoms.  Some experts suggest mixing these scents with a base oil and massaging them into your skin, or putting them on a tissue and holding it to your nose.

Whichever of the morning sickness remedies you want to try, it’s important that you do not let morning sickness symptoms ruin what should be a beautiful and memorable time of your life.  Try any or all of the above morning sickness remedies, and see if you can find something that works for you, because life is too short to waste struggling with pregnancy nausea and morning sickness symptoms.

 Pregnancy should be a time
of great joy, yet many women face this with fear because of the spectre of
pregnancy morning sickness.  After all,

Pregnancy week
4 is a critical time in the development of your baby and also at a critical
time for you.  In fact, may not even realize
you are pregnant by week 4, but this is the week when you’ll probably notice
that your period is absent, and you may begin to feel very tired and perhaps a
bit nauseous.

Pregnancy
nausea is a common side effect of pregnancy week 4.  This is the time when the egg has borrowed deep
into the lining of your uterus, and that tiny baby is beginning to grow at a
great rate.  In fact, by the end of week
three, the fertilised egg has turned into an embryo, but it is during pregnancy
week 4 that you begin to feel the early signs of pregnancy.

Pregnancy week
4 is the week, which represents some of the fastest development of your
embryo.  A faint heartbeat has begun
while the umbilical cord is also developing during pregnancy week 4.  Psychologically, in this weeks there is an
important connection between the mother and the baby, as the mother begins to
understand what she carries within, and that she is providing nutrition, growth
and health for the young embryo.

In pregnancy
week 4 the embryo begins to experience the development of a tiny ears and eyes,
tiny little arms and legs and if you could see what was happening in your womb,
you would realise a little person is developing right inside of you.

But some of
the most dramatic changes of pregnancy week 4 are actually happening to you,
the mom, because this is generally the time when pregnancy morning sickness
symptoms begin.  There are various,
morning sickness symptoms, which include pregnancy nausea, tiredness, vomiting,
and several other unpleasant effects. 
Not all women will experience pregnancy morning sickness symptoms like
these in pregnancy week 4, but over half of women do.

The big risk
to you as a mother, and indeed for your developing child, is not the feeling of
nausea that you get, but the vomiting which can cause you to lose a great deal
of fluid and can lead to dehydration, endangering both your life and the life
of your child.

Above all,
even if you are experiencing pregnancy morning sickness symptoms, embrace
pregnancy week 4 as a critical and wonderful stage in the development of both
your unborn child, and yourself!

 Pregnancy is scary enough without the added
stress and difficulties of pregnancy nausea and morning sickness symptoms.

Without a doubt, there is very few things more worrying
than to have something go wrong during pregnancy. {Whether|It doesn’t matter if}
it is your first time being pregnant or your fourth or fifth, there are so many
things to be concerned about during your pregnancy and it is easier when you
know what they are.   

It is also essential that you know exactly what
to bring to your doctor, and do not overlook something which could be of
supreme importance!  Here’s some of the
things you may experience, and this discussion may give you some idea as to
what action you should take…

Pregnancy Morning Sickness-  While not always occurring exclusively in the
morning, this is, unfortunately, a common symptom of pregnancy in the first
trimester.  Pregnancy nausea can be very
debilitating, and can make what should be a wonderful time in your life into
utter misery!  The big risk with
pregnancy nausea is twofold.  To stop you
from dehydrating and make sure that any medication you take does not adversely
affect the baby.

Dehydration- 
While you are pregnant it is easy to become dehydrated, especially if
you have pregnancy nausea or just don’t drink those 8 glasses of water. If you
find yourself pale, dry mouth or dizzy, you could be dehydrated and should be
seen by a doctor. Dehydration can cause premature labor and distress on the
pregnancy, and your doctor may have some great ideas to help reduce pregnancy
nausea.

Vaginal bleeding- This may also known as
spotting, but make sure that is what is going on. There is a difference between
actively bleeding and spotting. Spotting is lightly bleeding kind of like your
period, the blood can be red, pink or even brown. If you are bleeding actively
with any pain call your doctor, if you can’t get a hold of him go immediately
to the emergency room. Bleeding can be a number of things from implantation,
ectopic pregnancy, labor, infection or even miscarriage. Always let your doctor
know, so everything can be ruled out, you’ll feel better too.

Stomach pain or cramping- During the pregnancy it
may be hard to tell the difference between a growing pain and actual stomach
pain or cramps. However, if you do get a pain of any sort, you must immediately
stop and rest. After a few minutes if it doesn’t subside, call your doctor and
describe the pain to him. Don’t worry about it if you find out you only had gas
or were having Braxton Hicks (pretend) contractions.  You will at least you know everything is okay
with pregnancy.  This may also be
associated with pregnancy nausea as well.

 Gush of liquid- This could mean you are in labor
and that your waters have broken, however if it isn’t close to the time of
birth it can be something else. Call your doctor immediately and head for the hospital.

Painful urination - Could be a urinary tract
infection, also known as UTI. This can be easily treated with medication or by
drinking lots of fluids and cranberry juice. A urinary tract infection isn’t
something to be embarrassed about, it is very common amongst pregnant women.
The growing belly pushes against your urethra and makes it harder for it to
flow through. Which of course can cause infection. Another way to find out if
you have it is if you have a foul odor when you pee.

Let’s face it, pregnancies can be scary enough!  There’s no reason to make it even more scary,
or more uncomfortable, especially if you are experiencing pregnancy nausea. If
you are ever in doubt or have a concern talk with your doctor. It is common
that first time moms are worried about many pains that they feel.  Never fear calling because you are afraid of
waking the doctor up or because you feel silly. Being silly might just save the
life of your unborn baby. While you are worrying, you are only causing stress on
you and the baby, find out what’s wrong and relieve your anxiety. 

Morning sickness can be one of your first signs that you are
pregnant.  This doesn’t always mean that
you’ll get sick only in the morning.  Pregnancy
morning sickness can happen, morning, noon or night, and it does not always
pick the most convenient times to happen!

Pregnancy morning sickness will normally occur in the first
trimester or your pregnancy and end by the second, however this isn’t the case
in all pregnancies though, with some women continuing to experience pregnancy
morning sickness symptoms until the very end of term.

Pregnancy nausea can happen immediately or you may get lucky
and have no pregnancy morning sickness at all. No one is certain what causes pregnancy
morning sickness, but it appears to be associated with a change in the body
that happens during pregnancy. Many women seem to get sick after taking the
prenatal pill, try taking it later in the day. Your doctor may even advise you
to take some other form of vitamin instead of the pill. Always find out first
with your doctor before taking anything new or taking yourself off medication,
even prenatal pills. 

There are a few ways to minimize pregnancy morning sickness symptoms,
but they don’t work for everyone. Try keeping crackers on hand, maybe saltines
or something similar. Try drinking some ginger ale, as this may calm the
stomach down.  Dry cereal is another good
thing to eat, your stomach may just be a little bit hungry and trying to tell
you. Remember to take small portions, this way you know if it is all going to
come up or not and if it will promote pregnancy nausea or reduce it. Sleeping
is another good way to avoid it, however pregnancy morning sickness will wake
you up! Keep yourself hydrated, because not only can dehydration make your pregnancy
morning sickness come but if you experience pregnancy nausea you can become so dehydrated
that you need to go to the emergency room if you aren’t careful.

Smells is another thing that seems to cause pregnancy
morning sickness symptoms. Imagine walking into a restaurant and the first thing you
smell is grease. Yes, this can easily set it off. Bad smells and even certain
tastes, get the feel for your body during the pregnancy and figure out just
what sets it off. Knowing how to avoid it, can make a world of difference.

A few reasons you should go to your doctor would be if you
begin losing weight because you are constantly sick due to pregnancy morning
sickness. If you become dehydrated, faint, look pale, confused, experience
constant pregnancy nausea or throw up more than four times in a day, your
doctor may be able to prescribe something that will stop it.

Try slowing down a bit, sometimes your body is just
exhausted from all the errands you are running and it tries to give you a break,
using pregnancy morning sickness symptoms as the means. Listen to your body, take a nap,
relax and watch a television show…take some time off. If you are looking for
remedies for your morning sickness, you may try buying some pregnancy pops. Or
if you’d prefer to stay away from the sweets you can wear a bracelet designed
to stop pregnancy morning sickness, they are just like the motion sickness
bracelets.  They don’t work for everyone
but they could work for you.

Whatever happens, you do not want to let the onset of pregnancy
morning sickness ruin what should be a wonderful and very special time in your
life.

It’s all great to hear advice during your pregnancy, but
much of what you will hear may in fact be completely untrue.   When you are first dealing with pregnancy
morning sickness, there will be no end of advice concerning morning sickness
remedies, and it only gets worse the further along in your pregnancy you are.

Along with the morning sickness remedies, someone will want
to tell you that you shouldn’t bend, or walk a certain way, not to pick up a
baby in case you hurt the one in your stomach or put yourself in labor. As the
pregnancy gets closer to the due date you’ll be told many different home
remedies of how to put yourself in labor. Got a headache?  Someone can tell you exactly what to drink to
get rid of it without any medication, remember it is important to ask a doctor
before trying to take something you’ve never tried before doing it.  But the most fun I have during the course of
the 9-10 months stretch is hearing all the old wives myths.

I’m pretty sure you aren’t going to even care at this point
what sex the baby is, all you want is for the pregnancy morning sickness to
stop. You may even be counting down the days until the first trimester is
over.  Chances are if you have pregnancy morning
sickness someone is bound to tell you what sex of the baby is, rather than offer
decent morning sickness remedies.  One
wives tale is if you are having severe pregnancy morning sickness it is a sign
you are having a girl.

Here’s a wives tale that is a lot of fun and you can test it
on everyone in your household. Take a thin piece of string or your hair, slide
your ring down it, hold it above your belly and let the ring dangle above it.
If the rings spins in a circle it is a boy, but if it goes from one side to the
other, it is a girl.  Once you’ve tried
it out on your tummy, get someone in your house and do it above their hand.
Does the ring spin in a circle above your husband’s hand? Hmm, is it really and
old wives tale or is there really something to it?

Many women claim to suffer from bouts of heartburn during
the pregnancy, according to the old wives tell this would mean your baby will
be born with a head full of hair.

Right before the end of your first trimester your doctor
will listen to your baby’s heart rate, this is to make sure the baby is doing
alright.  The wives tale goes, if the
heart rate is high it is a girl and a low one is a boy.  Does this mean girls are more stressed than
boys?

 Ever have someone tell you that you are carrying high or low
and wonder what that really means? Basically if you are carrying your baby low
it is closer to your abdomen, a high baby is closer to your chest.  Look at yourself in the mirror. How is your
baby sitting?  The old tale says that if
you are carrying high it is a girl, carrying low is a boy.

Wives tales can be a lot of fun but keep in mind these
aren’t fact. Don’t go preparing your child’s room just because one of these
told you, you were going to have a girl. 
When you are first pregnant, the more important thing is to reduce the
morning sickness symptoms.
