Morning Sickness Symptoms - What Are They And How They Can Be Stopped

Morning sickness symptoms occurs in the majority of pregnant women, up to 80% of them. In most cases these symptoms start to feel after 4th week and lasts up to 16th week.

Most of the pregnant women which experienced morning sickness symptoms have bouts of nausea and vomiting, usually in the first 3 months of their pregnancy. But these are not the only symptoms which may occur to a pregnant woman. She also may experience headaches and backaches, excessive salivation, frequent urination, constipation, the sense of smell increased and even lower abdominal cramps.

Many women find that the term "morning" sickness is entirely inappropriate as they feel sick at all times of the day and night. It is a miserable feeling, but generally clears up after about 14-16 weeks of pregnancy when the placenta starts producing the hormones which the ovaries have been responsible for until then. Sadly, some women find their sickness, continues right through their pregnancies and is only cured by giving birth.

You can put morning sickness symptoms to an end by trying to:

- eat ginger biscuits, dry toast and anything containing peppermint;
- have small, frequent, starchy snacks such as bread rolls;
- eat regularly even if you do not feel like it;
- take sips of hot water;
- get up slowly in the morning and, if at all possible, rest during the day;
- avoid any smells which you know make you want to vomit;
- wear travel sickness bands;
- ask an acupuncturist to show you the pressure point on your hand which controls sickness.
