Beginning of "morning sickness" in the early pregnancy? How long will it last?

The first pregnancy is often confusing, isn't it? Morning sickness may be the most annoying thing. Morning sickness varies greatly from person to person, and you may feel anxious if you are different from the pregnant women around you. However, if you have the correct knowledge about it, you can reduce anxiety and relieve painful symptoms. So in this article, what causes morning sickness? I would like to introduce how to reduce the symptoms.Morning sickness in early pregnancySome people who have early morning sickness start when they notice that their menstruation is delayed. Generally, it seems that it often starts around the 5th week of pregnancy. It is said that the most painful symptoms will subside around 8 to 9 weeks and 15 to 16 weeks. However, the duration of morning sickness and the severity of symptoms vary greatly from person to person. Some people experience little morning sickness from early to late pregnancy, while others continue to have morning sickness until just before childbirth, so keep this in mind as a guide.Typical symptoms of morning sicknessMorning sickness is different for each person, but we often hear "nausea and vomiting", "sensitivity to smell", "feeling uncomfortable if you don't eat something all the time", "sleepiness", "irritability", etc. For example, "headaches".NauseaIt upsets the stomach and chest. Even if you eat, you may vomit, or you may feel more nauseous when you are hungry, but you may feel uncomfortable and cannot eat. It seems that some people will vomit even if they drink water if the symptoms are severe. Conversely, there is also nausea if food is not always in the mouth.Sensitivity to odorsIt seems that many people start to feel a great deal of discomfort due to the odor that they didn't notice at all before pregnancy. This is related to the instability of the autonomic nerves due to pregnancy. You may often smell of cooked rice and simmered dishes. In addition, some people also seem to react sensitively to scents such as shampoo and aroma that are usually felt to be good.You always feel hungryOn the contrary to vomiting, some people always eat something and feel uncomfortable if they don't fill their stomach. People with this symptom may have a hard time on an empty stomach in the morning, so it's a good idea to keep food at your bedside so that you can eat something as soon as you wake up.Drowsiness, frustration and headacheThis is also related to hormonal balance. Even if you sleep, you're always sleepy, and frustrated. You may also have a headache. In such a state, it is difficult to continue the same activities as before pregnancy, so it is important to understand that it is in such a state due to changes in hormonal balance and not to overdo it.Are there any foods that make morning sickness easier?

  • Sour - vinegar, citrus fruits, tomatoes
  • Palatable - pudding, jelly
  • Cold - ice cream, sorbet
  • High calorie - french-fries, hamburger

There are differences in what you can eat during morning sickness. People with strong nausea tend to want to eat fruits and cold foods, and those who feel hungry tend to want to eat a lot of french-fries. It depends on your taste, so it's a good idea to try something that you can eat.What you can do to prevent morning sicknessMorning sickness varies from person to person, and because it is related to your constitution, the cause cannot be unequivocally stated, but there are factors that make morning sickness even worse. So know what you can do to keep your morning sickness from getting worse.Lifestyle habitExercise and malnutrition are one of the major factors that make morning sickness worse. Lack of vitamins and minerals makes the hormone balance more likely to be disturbed. Therefore, if you do not have nausea so much, eating a balanced diet as much as possible will help improve morning sickness. Moderate exercise also helps to prepare the autonomic nerves. Although strenuous exercise is prohibited during pregnancy, parasympathetic nerves can be activated by taking a light walk, stretching, or taking a deep breath.Mental factorsThere is also a mental factor in the factors that make morning sickness worse. The autonomic nerves can also be disturbed by stress. I am very happy to have a baby, but I also have the stress of my first experience, confusion, and anxiety in the future. It is important to create a stress-free environment so that morning sickness does not worsen due to mental factors. Be aware of creating an environment that makes it easier for you to overcome the difficult times, such as asking your partner or family for cooperation, or consulting with those who are working so that you can adjust the work content without burden.
