What should I do if I feel nauseous and vomit when my due date is approaching?

When the due date is approaching, if the pregnant woman experiences nausea and vomiting, on the one hand it is because of gastrointestinal discomfort due to pregnancy reasons, on the other hand it may be related to excessive tension. At this time, you must relax your mind and learn some knowledge about childbirth, which will help relieve anxiety. You must make preparations, and as a lover and family member, you should give more comfort, get enough rest, etc.

Preparations before childbirth

1. Mental Preparation

The mother should have confidence, be prepared mentally and physically, and welcome the birth of the baby with a happy mood. The husband should give the pregnant woman full care and love, and the new relatives, friends and medical staff around her must also give the mother certain support and help. Practice has shown that the more mentally prepared a mother is, the lower the incidence of dystocia.

2. Physical Preparation

Sleep and rest: Childbirth consumes a lot of physical energy, so you must get enough sleep before delivery. A nap before delivery is also beneficial.

Lifestyle arrangements: Pregnant women who are close to their due date should try not to go out or travel, but they should not stay in bed all day. Light exercise within their ability is still beneficial.

Sexual life: Sexual life is absolutely prohibited before delivery to avoid premature rupture of membranes and intrapartum infection.

Bathing: Pregnant women must pay attention to their body cleanliness. Since they cannot take a bath immediately after delivery, they should take a bath before being hospitalized to keep their body clean. If they go to the bathroom to take a bath, they must be accompanied by someone to prevent the hot and humid steam from causing fainting in pregnant women.

Family care: In a small family with two working people, the husband should try not to go out when his wife is about to give birth. If this is not possible, someone else should stay with you at night to avoid any unexpected events.

3. Material preparation

The items needed for delivery should be prepared gradually during pregnancy. In the tenth month of pregnancy, these items should be put together and placed in a place where family members know. These things include: the mother’s documents: medical certificate (including pregnant woman contact card), registration certificate, labor insurance or public medical certificate. Baby supplies: underwear, coats, swaddles, diapers, small towels, bibs, pads, small quilts, baby soap, rectal watches, face powder, etc. should all be prepared. In particular, the supplies for carrying the baby out of the hospital must be packed and marked in advance to avoid being unprepared when the family members pick up the baby. Supplies for the mother when she is admitted to the hospital: washbasin, foot basin, toothpaste, toothbrush, large and small towels, menstrual belt, toilet paper, underwear, etc. Snacks to be eaten during delivery should also be prepared.
