Although it is true that most women experience their most intense nausea and vomiting symptoms in the morning, the fact is that “morning sickness” can and often is felt during any time of the day.Most women (3 of 4) will experience some kind of nausea, vomiting, or both, most often beginning around week 6 and lasting to about week 14 to 18; there are a few unfortunate women who do experience nausea and/or vomiting until the last day of their pregnancies.Just because morning sickness happens to most women, that doesn’t mean it’s not a stressful condition which should be dismissed out of hand.

The causes for nausea during pregnancy are not clearly understood, but is likely caused by a combination of hormonal, psychological, and physical factors that will vary from woman to woman. These include the pregnancy hormone, hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), whose levels tend to match levels of nausea, as well as increased estrogen; in fact, the increased amount of estrogen can also explain the sensitivity to odors that many women experience during pregnancy.

It may also be true that for women who usually respond to stress with feelings of nausea, the stress of pregnancy causes a similar reaction - though this has not been proven.Although they are not necessarily medically proven, women swear by many time-tested nausea remedies that do not involve using medication.

It is important to try to eat frequently during the day, so your stomach doesn’t ever get totally empty; for the same reason, you can put a little box of crackers by your bed to have when you wake up. Stay in bed for another half hour or so to let your stomach settle and then try to get up – you may find your nausea is relieved this way. It is also a smart idea just to take your time getting up in general, instead of jumping right out of bed.

Avoid fatty, rich, spicy, and acidic foods; experiment with high-carbohydrate and high-protein foods to see which depresses your nausea best.If a food makes you feel nauseous, don’t eat it - even if this means you eat a very limited variety of foods, it’s better than forcing yourself and getting sick after. You’ll want to try to eat fairly bland foods, and also to eat them while they are at room temperature or even cold, because hot foods have stronger odors.

Be sure to drink lots of fluids, and to try to have them between meals so you don’t overfill your stomach; good choices include sports drinks, cold carbonated beverages, and ginger ales or teas (made with real ginger).

You can also take steps like avoiding nausea triggers unrelated to food, like strong smells or motion (such as a car ride); you can also try using acupressure bands or even hypnosis for nausea relief.Remember, just because morning sickness is common or temporary, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek relief; if none of these or other strategies work for you, talk with your doctor about potentially treating your nausea with medication.
