Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms, Week by Week Pregnancy Guide

If you are pregnant and have to deal with nausea, most probably you are looking into what helps nausea during pregnancy.

The good news is that there are a lot of things that you could try. However most probably some of them won’t work out for you.

Snacks

Low blood sugar is believed to have something to do with the symptom. This is why you feel worse during the morning, since you didn’t eat for 8 hours.

To make sure that the mornings will be easier to bear, keep some snacks near the bed and have some even before you get up.

Fussy eater

Studies show that nausea could be made worse by sweets, caffeine, alcohol and meat. Because of this you may want to have a balanced diet.

Add some fruits and vegetables to your nutrition. Have smaller meals more often during the day. Try not to have any spicy or fatty foods.

Nausea during pregnancy could also be triggered by strong smells since the smell of pregnant women is more sensitive. If you know that a certain smell bothers you, you should make sure to stay away from it. To ensure that you can keep the food down, have some salty crackers before you start eating.

Resting

If you are very tired the nausea could also get worse. You could make it better by having several 15 minute naps during the day. At your workplace you could use a sleep mask and earplugs to shut everything out for a short while.

Tune out

Believe it or not, when it comes to nausea while being pregnant, your brain, stomach and ears are in a direct connection. It was proved that some sounds interrupt the way of the signals between the body and the brain and they can make nausea better.
