Causes of motion sickness in pregnancy

Nausea or feeling sick is a major nuisance in the gestation phase. However, there is no idea when nausea really starts in pregnancy as this condition varies from woman to woman so it is difficult to specify a time.

We can say that nausea starts around the 8th week of gestation , for some women, but it can also happen before or after for others. There are those who are lucky and do not have nausea during pregnancy , but this total absence of this symptom can raise a concern for the pregnant woman.

Why Pregnancy Sickness Occurs

The nausea comes from the hormonal changes in the woman’s body and also from a wise measure of nature. The rise in estrogen and progesterone are directly responsible for the initial malaise of women during pregnancy. Not only from nausea but also from sleep, fatigue and all the other symptoms of pregnancy so well known to women.

Sickness in pregnancy is actually an effect of hormonal elevation but also a way to protect the expectant mother from eating contaminated food that can harm her body. One factor that can worsen nausea and nausea in pregnancy is the presence of the HCG change as well. The exclusive pregnancy hormone, HCG , as well as progesterone and estrogen, also tends to increase nausea and in a way it is a good sign, a sign that everything is going well in hormonal evolution.

For most women, nausea starts as soon as the significant rise in hormones occurs, between the 6th and 9th week, but for some pregnant women, nausea can begin even before menstrual delay . The first nausea to appear in pregnancy is the morning, who never felt this kind of discomfort for pregnancy does not know what it is to feel truly pregnant! That kind of pregnant woman from movies and soap operas that we see so much out there.

A tip for pregnant women: do you want to improve the pleasure of sex during the gestational phase? Use water-based lubricating gels that play the role of cervical mucus and still control vaginal pH, reducing the chances of proliferation of fungi and bacteria responsible for infections. Famivita has developed the perfect lubricant for pregnant women and pregnant women, the FamiGel . You can buy it here in our online store.

What to Do to Relieve Sickness in Pregnancy

It is not as easy as it seems and for those who live this phase of nausea you may think it will stay that way throughout the pregnancy, but most of the time the nausea in pregnancy passes after the end of the first trimester, which is when the hormones stabilize. So, during this period of food aversion, the ideal is to follow some tips to help alleviate nausea during pregnancy.

Cracker water: A tip that came from a medical sister-in-law, she was very ill during pregnancy and what made her alleviate these bouts of morning sickness or even during the day, was the intake of cracker water and salt. Cream cracker is also a good option as long as it is ingested without the accompaniment of liquids. Dry crackers tend to reduce that feeling of being sick, with a stomach upset.

Eat Less: A precious tip is to eat less and more often, never stop eating something for more than 2 hours. So there will always be something light and the nausea did not persist. A motto, empty stomach signal that there is nausea!

Drink Fluids: Drinking fluids to keep your body hydrated is what is needed to prevent unwanted nausea during pregnancy. Natural juices are also a good option, especially citrus fruits. However avoid them at meals, they can help nausea to appear.

Lie Down After Digestion: Never, never lie down as soon as you eat. The working gastric acid can bring even more nausea and reflux to those who are lying down.

Medications for Sickness Relief in Pregnancy

Some doctors prescribe medications that are safe for nausea and nausea in pregnancy. Medicines such as Dramin B6, Meclin and Vonau are great allies, however, it must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis if the pregnant woman is a suitable case for taking medication against seasickness. These medications can help, but they can also cause even more drowsiness in the pregnant woman and if she needs to work, you can try to control nausea in pregnancy only with appropriate diets for this little problem.

A new ally for women, which is very little known in the market are the anti-nausea bracelets . In addition to being safe for mother and baby, they do not cause drowsiness like the medications indicated by obstetricians.

Weight Loss in the First Quarter

Nausea and nausea is the main reason why many women lose weight during early pregnancy. Despite only hormonal swelling, it is very common for pregnant women to lose weight in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Legend has it that women who feel very sick in pregnancy, the likelihood of being a girl is greater! I don’t believe in witches, but they do exist, oh they do! Coincidentally, this legend worked with me!

Author’s note

I was feeling too bad! Funny that coincidentally it was the two pregnancies of girls that gave me the dreaded seasickness. I vomited every day and morning nausea accompanied me all day, improving only the night that was when I wanted to eat the most. I didn’t get to take nausea medication in my last pregnancy, I needed to stay wide awake and one of the side and unwanted effects of this type of medication was uncontrollable sleep!

In order to combat the nausea I used to eat a lot of citrus fruits, green grapes, kiwi, orange and even lemon! My mouth watered just thinking about having a green grape in my mouth! It was a dream come true and very healthy at least. In Melissa’s early pregnancy, I eliminated nausea bouts over 8kg! I was a bit overweight and with that I ended up with a good weight for pregnancy. In the end there are evils that come for good because if it weren’t for those less pounds, I don’t know what it would be like at the end of pregnancy due to the risk of pre-eclampsia. I ate a lot of cookies too and when I felt an improvement I ran to things that supported me like a good plate of rice and beans made by mom!

A good tip is: if you feel like small portions and always report to your obstetrician about nausea attacks, if necessary, he will indicate an appropriate medication. Although nausea in pregnancy is somewhat inevitable, you need to be aware of feeding to prevent anemia.
