Morning Sickness
Around 90% of pregnant women suffer from morning sickness and it doesn’t always just occur in the mornings – for some the nausea and vomiting can happen throughout the day and night!
Here are our top 5 tips for reducing the symptoms of morning sickness:
-
Stay hydrated - Take little sips of water often to keep your body hydrated. Your body will lose fluid if you are vomiting so you will need to replace those lost fluids.
-
Eat foods richin B vitamins such as chicken, fish, liver and avocados.
-
Snack often throughout the day as the feeling of hunger can bring on nausea. If you are working try to be prepared by taking in lots of things to snack on. Try to eat carbohydrates like bread, pasta and rice as this will help keep hunger at bay.
-
Avoid strong smelling foods and places with strong smells as this can bring on a queasy feeling.
-
Go herbal - visit your local herbal specialist with advice on nausea as traditional organic supplements such as ginger can help some women.
