Morning sickness is one of the best-known symptoms of pregnancy. What causes it? And how long does it last?<\/h2>\n

Pregnancy is both a beautiful and tiring process. As well as sore nipples, cramps and fatigue<\/a>, you’re likely to experience morning sickness. In fact, 70-80% of pregnant women suffer from morning sickness and, whatever you call it, it can happen at any time of the day (not just in the morning) and last for weeks.<\/p>\n

Change in hormones causes morning sickness<\/h3>\n

There is no concrete answer to the question of what causes it, but some theories involve an increase in the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). Others claim that the combination of progesterone and oestrogen could play a role. It is likely that a combination of factors contributes to the severity of symptoms.<\/p>\n

What does this nausea look like and how long does it last?<\/h3>\n

It can vary depending on the pregnancy<\/a>. Some women feel nauseous all day and have the urge to vomit, others have the occasional urge to vomit and still others feel nauseous all day without vomiting.<\/p>\n

It generally doesn’t last beyond the first trimester and, although some women experience symptoms in the second and third trimesters, most cases only last a few weeks (I know, I know, it still seems like an eternity!).<\/p>\n

Can morning sickness only happen in the morning?<\/h3>\n

How does the nausea know the time? Does the vomiting stop at midday? Although it would be nice to have a schedule for morning sickness, it doesn’t follow any rules and can happen throughout the day. Some women only feel uncomfortable in the morning, others in the evening, still others on an empty stomach and between meals.<\/p>\n

How can you stop it?<\/h3>\n

Morning sickness is one of the difficult parts of pregnancy that many women endure. Although you can actively manage the symptoms, there is no magic cure for nausea, and often the progression of pregnancy brings spontaneous improvement. Despite feelings of absolute misery, in most cases nausea is self-limiting and ultimately safe for you and your unborn baby. That said, there are some cases where you should contact your doctor, including the inability to eat or drink for 24 hours, significant weakness and drastic weight loss.<\/p>\n

To better manage nausea, you should :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Eat frequent small meals or snacks throughout the day.<\/li>\n
  • Take tea, supplements, and ginger candies that can help calm your stomach: try our Anti-Nausea Herbal Tea made with ginger and peppermint.<\/li>\n
  • Take a prenatal vitamin. Many gynaecologists and obstetricians say that prenatal vitamins can reduce the risk of severe nausea and vomiting.<\/li>\n
  • Change your mealtimes.<\/li>\n
  • Drink plenty of fluids.<\/li>\n
  • Avoid smelly foods that can act as triggers, such as hard-boiled eggs, tuna, etc.<\/li>\n
  • Try the BRATT diet, which contains bland, low-fat, easy-to-digest foods such as bananas, rice, applesauce, toast and herbal teas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
