Hi,
I understand your concern.
The vomiting in early pregnancy is due to pregnancy hormones circulating in mothers circulation in high concentration,to which the lady is not used to.The psychological stress & anxiety add to it.
It usually lasts till 3 months of pregnancy or sometimes a bit beyond.
It is physiological & not to be worried about.
Management of vomiting in pregnancy-
-Eat dry snacks ( biscuits/toasts/dry fruits) gradually,before leaving bed in morning. Be in the sleeping position for 10-20 minutes & get up after that ,to start your routine.
-Avoid things which instigate nausea/vomiting
- Have lime water with sugar & salt sip by sip.
- cold food( ice cream) is tolerated better than hot food.
- avoid spicy,oily food.
- Pills of Doxylamin succinet, Domperidon should be added with a doctor's consultation.
- Be psychologically positive.
Thanks
