    Informational Notes:

    Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy are thought to be caused by the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. The exact cause is not known, but it is believed that the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) plays a role. Nausea and vomiting are more common during the first trimester, but can occur throughout pregnancy.

    There are several effective management strategies for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent nausea. Avoiding foods that trigger nausea, such as spicy or greasy foods, can also be helpful. Ginger, either in the form of tea or food condiments, has been shown to be effective in reducing nausea and vomiting.

    In more severe cases, medications such as  vitamin B6 may be prescribed.

     
     


    Management:

    If you are experiencing nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider. Your provider can help determine the best management strategy for your individual situation. If your symptoms are severe, you may need to be hospitalized for intravenous fluids and medication.

    In addition to medical management, there are several lifestyle changes that can help alleviate nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and avoiding strong smells can all be helpful. It is important to remember that nausea and vomiting are a normal part of pregnancy and will usually resolve on their own after the first trimester.

     

    Some general tips can help reduce nausea and vomiting:

    • It is preferable to have small meals. You can divide your meal into smaller ones over a couple of hours.
    • Sometimes eating a few salty crackers may reduce the feeling of nausea.
    • Avoid some smells that make you feel nauseous, such as the smells of some foods.
    • Do not lie down immediately after eating.
    • Avoid long periods without food during the day, it is preferable to eat small snacks throughout the day.
    • Staying hydrated, and drink water regularly.
    • Avoid spicy and fatty foods.
    • You can eat add some ginger to your diet (such as ginger tea or add it as a spice to food), as it works as a stomach sedative and anti-nausea.
    • After consulting a gynecologist, taking vitamin B6 helps reduce nausea
    • Change the time of day that you take prenatal vitamins, and you can also use vitamins in the form of jelly rather than the traditional large pills
    • Try to get plenty of rest.
