The holy month of Ramadan is in progress so she is fasting the whole day and eats only at sunset and sunrise. Kindly recommend some foods and medicine which can help reduce nausea.
Brief Answer:
Doxylamine tablets can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Your History suggests that your Wife is having Morning Sickness and it is absolutely common to have this during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Let her follow some lifestyle modifications which will help control her symptoms,
1.) Let her eat fiber rich fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables and avoid foods which are not easily digestible and fatty foods
2.) Let her have six small meals instead of 3 large meals. Avoid fasting as due to nausea and vomiting she can have a plenty of fluid loss from her body.
3.) Drink plenty of fluids
4.) Go for regular Brisk walks for 30 to 40 minutes daily.
In case the symptoms are severe and persistent then do consult her gynecologist for an examination and she will prescribe her doxylamine tablets.
I hope this answers your query.
