Morning sickness is very common in early pregnancy and is often characterised by nausea and vomiting. Some women feel sick all day long and it can significantly affect their day-to-day life. Morning sickness doesn’t put your baby at any increased risk and usually clears up by 16 to 20 weeks of your pregnancy.
There’s no sure-shot treatment morning sickness. Things you can try yourself to deal with morning sickness and early pregnancy symptoms include:
- Take plenty of rest
- Avoid foods or smells that make you feel sick
- Eat something like dry toast or a plain biscuit before you get out of bed
- Eat small, frequent meals of plain foods that are high in carbohydrates and low in fat
- Eat cold foods rather than hot ones
- Drink plenty of fluids, such as water
- Eat foods or drinks containing ginger as ginger may help reduce nausea and vomiting
- Try acupressure to get relief from the symptoms
- Try anti-sickness medication after a consultation with your doctor
- If your nausea and vomiting are severe, immediately seek medical attention
