If you suffer from morning sickness, you are probably hoping that there are ways to cure your vomiting and nausea. You can find comfort in knowing that most morning sickness abates by the third month of pregnancy, but that doesn't help you feel better in the mean time. Here are just a few things that you can do to lessen the symptoms of morning sickness that you are suffering from.
You wouldn't expect it, but exercise is a great remedy for the symptoms associated with morning sickness. That's because walking up the stairs is a workout when you're pregnant. However, gentle exercise can be very beneficial to your overall state of health, and can help to alleviate symptoms of morning sickness. Sometimes gyms have special exercise classes specifically for women who are pregnant, so that may be worth looking into. You may want to check yoga studios also to see if they have prenatal classes that will help you to stretch, relax and control your breath. There's nothing wrong with a walk, either, if you hate going to the gym. It's true that you're not supposed to be too active when you are pregnant, but you will still want to exercise to rid yourself of morning sickness symptoms.
You can reduce your morning sickness symptoms by avoiding some foods and eating more of others. Fatty foods and deep fried foods can contribute to the severity of your morning sickness symptoms so you should avoid them.
Bland foods, on the other hand, like toast, cereal and crackers (especially whole grain foods) can help you feel better. Yogurt, if not overly sweetened, is another food that you may find soothing. It is better to eat several smaller meals more often than it is to eat just a few big ones. You also need to pay attention to what you are eating--over time you'll figure out which foods make your symptoms worse and then you'll be able to stay away from them. While it is true that pregnant ladies need lots of rest and that resting can help keep morning sickness symptoms, it is not a good idea to lie down directly after eating because doing that can set off an attack.
Acupuncture has proven to be a very effective morning sickness remedy. There are many who are skeptical about this type of treatment but medical research is proving more and more often that it is quite helpful in treating many conditions.
Acupuncture has been widely used by the Chinese for many centuries because it is quite an effective pain reliever (though its ability to cure disorders is still up for debate). Even though acupuncture needles are not painful, many people are afraid of them; if you are one of those people, consider looking into acupressure and reflexology which use pressure and touching instead of needles. You can either seek treatment from a professional or learn how to practice acupressure on your own pressure points. You can use all of these things as morning sickness remedies.
Morning sickness makes you not want to do a thing, and in that case, just make sure you get plenty of rest. The above remedies can help you with some of your symptoms but remember that your morning sickness won't last for long so just wait it out and it'll be over before you know it.
