Morning sickness protects the baby
- Your body has a resistance against the food pollutants you eat. But your unborn baby doesn’t.
- Therefore, it is alleged that morning sickness is an advanced process to shield your baby against poisons consumed by you.
- It might also protect you in some ways. Your immune system is unresponsive during pregnancy so morning sickness decreases the odds of your body rejecting the developing baby.
- This could place you in danger from unsafe bacteria found in animal products. Sickness and vomiting might help you dismiss them from your body.

Can it get worse?
- A few pregnant females might have serious, insistent sickness and vomiting during pregnancy which can lead to dehydration, loss of weight and reduced potassium levels.
- Such a disorder is known as hyperemesis gravidarum.
Steps you can take
- Morning sickness might end around the 12th week of pregnancy for the majority of females and most of them generally don’t require treatment.
- Luckily the body has reserves, so if nourishment is not at its peak the fetus is not compromised.
- Vitamin B6 might help reduce nausea during the initial stages of pregnancy. But chat to your doctor before taking any medications.
Dealing with morning sickness:
- Stay away from foods and scents that activate your nausea.
- Get enough rest and relax.
- Drink lots of fluids. Slow sips of iced water might offer some help with sickness and vomiting.
- Ginger is believed to be effective for morning sickness. You can either have tiny slices of ginger or drink some tea made from grated ginger.

If your sickness and vomiting is very serious, you might need to visit the hospital to obtain fluid via an intravenous drip. Your GP might also recommend certain medications.
