What to do if you have nausea during pregnancy

A common sense that women should know is that morning sickness usually only occurs after a woman has been pregnant for a certain number of months. If a woman has just become pregnant, the physical symptoms are not very obvious and morning sickness will not occur. However, some women find that they have nausea when they are just pregnant, which seriously affects their food intake. So what should women who are just pregnant do when they feel nauseous?

What should I do if I have severe nausea during pregnancy?

1. Although drinking water is very important to prevent dehydration, pregnant women should not drink water in one breath and fill their stomachs. Because then the stomach will not be able to hold other anti-vomiting food. If you vomit frequently, do not take prenatal vitamins in the morning on an empty stomach. Pregnant women can try taking their vitamins with food or at night before bed to avoid stomach upset.

2. When pregnant women feel uncomfortable, they can drink some hot tea or hot milk; they can also add some lemon to hot water. Generally speaking, cold foods and hot foods are less likely to cause nausea. Because cold food has a lighter odor and does not irritate the gastric mucosa, pregnant women should try to avoid eating warm food when they are vomiting severely; pregnant women should try to stay quiet after eating, rest more and exercise less. Pregnant women should eat small meals frequently, avoid greasy food, and try to eat less condiments such as chili peppers to avoid excessive irritation to the stomach and intestines. During this period, the physical exertion of pregnant women should be reduced accordingly with the degree of nausea and vomiting, thereby alleviating the discomfort symptoms.

3. Pregnant women should try to avoid eating or smelling foods or smells that may make them feel nauseous. If a pregnant woman feels nauseous no matter what she eats, don't worry. Try to eat things that can stimulate your appetite, even if these foods do not make you achieve a balanced nutrition. No matter what it is, eating a little is always better than having a big meal and then vomiting it all out; pregnant women should eat small meals frequently, or have snacks at any time, and never let their stomach be empty for a moment. Because an empty stomach is most likely to cause nausea. Also, eat light, protein-rich foods to help curb nausea.

Can pregnant women get massage?

1. We all know that due to the special physique of pregnant women, there are many taboos on massage during pregnancy, but it does not mean that massage is not allowed. You just need to master the strength and technique of massage. Pregnant women can relieve back pain by massaging the waist.

2. Pregnant women should go to the hospital and ask professional doctors to massage them. The massage technique should not be too heavy, and patting is prohibited, especially not stimulating the strong acupoints in the abdomen and lumbar sacral area, otherwise it may cause premature birth or miscarriage in the expectant mother.

3. We would also like to remind all pregnant women that they should prevent and relieve back pain in the late pregnancy, avoid lifting heavy objects, do not maintain a posture for a long time, and keep warm to avoid catching cold on the back. If the back pain cannot be relieved, you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination and then receive symptomatic treatment based on the cause.

Some pregnant women still like to get a massage after they become pregnant. It is fine as long as it is moderate. Some people also suffer from back pain. As long as the strength is appropriate, if you feel stomach pain when massaging the acupoints, you should stop immediately to avoid uterine contractions and miscarriage.
