Understanding Pregnancy Nausea

  • What is Morning Sickness and Why It Happens

    • Morning sickness refers to nausea and vomiting during the first trimester of the pregnancy. It can be unpleasant, challenging, and, for a few women, a source of dire health concerns and complications during their pregnancy. It's a common condition that affects up to 70% of pregnant people in the first three months.

    The exact cause of morning sickness is unknown. However, it has been linked to lower blood sugar levels and hormonal changes during early pregnancy. Emotional stress, traveling, fatigue, or some triggering foods like spicy or greasy dishes can worsen the problem. It's even more common and severe in cases of twin or triplet pregnancies.

Exploring Remedies for Pregnancy Nausea

  • Every pregnancy journey is unique...

    • Every pregnancy journey is unique, and the same can certainly be stated for morning sickness. Like most things in pregnancy, morning sickness varies in frequency and severity for every female, but for some, it can be severe, persistent, and concerning. Women who experience persistent nausea, an inability to keep down water or food, and vomiting or motion sickness that lasts all day may have hyperemesis gravidarum, which is a serious form of morning sickness where the mother-to-be needs urgent medical attention and, in some cases, hospitalization.

    Experiencing severe morning sickness and any challenging pregnancy symptoms can be debilitating and painful to manage, so it's important that pregnant women recognize and lean into the support systems that are around them throughout their journey. It can be in the form of friends and family, health professionals, and/or morning sickness remedies like UpSpring's Stomach Settle® Morning Sickness Relief Drops, which offer a gentle solution to help ease nausea and discomfort during pregnancy.

Effective Remedies for Pregnancy Nausea

  • Natural Solutions for Pregnancy Nausea

    • Some natural tips and remedies for pregnancy nausea include:

    3. Avoid greasy, oily, and spicy foods, along with high sugar foods.
    4. Suck or sniff sliced lemon or peppermint if a certain odor bothers you.
    5. Choose nutritious foods such as complex carbohydrates, including whole wheat bread, bananas, pasta, and green, leafy vegetables.
    6. Sip water in between meals. If you prefer, try carbonated liquids low in sugar, like ginger ale.
    7. Don't shift positions too quickly.
    8. Keep crackers near your bed. Munch on them before getting up in the morning.
    9. Try acupressure wristbands that are designed for motion sickness.
  • Over-the-Counter Options for Morning Sickness Relief

    • Over-the-counter treatments for morning sickness can include medications as well as dietary supplements such as vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine). Vomiting and nausea during pregnancy can lead to dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes, such as potassium or sodium. In this case, medical attention is required to replace fluids and in some cases, prescribe medication for moderate to severe morning sickness. Always consult your healthcare professional when symptoms persist.
