Morning Sickness:

The nausea and vomiting associated with morning sickness can certainly take the joy out of pregnancy. It commonly occurs within the first thirteen weeks of pregnancy, and can occur throughout the entire day, not just in the morning. Women are usually unable to carry out the normal tasks of daily life because of the way they feel. Often, any type of motion makes the symptoms worse. The symptoms of nausea and vomiting are caused by the high circulating levels of estrogen in the pregnant woman’s body; this high level of estrogen also causes a heightened sense of smell, and many things that she couldn’t smell prior to pregnancy may now seem very intense! This heightened sense of smell often triggers the symptoms of nausea and vomiting as well. Natural supplements work very effectively for morning sickness and drug therapy should be avoided during this time of fetal development. When treating this ailment it is essential to avoid complications with dehydration. It is also extremely important for the mother to eat properly, getting the most nutritional food into her body for the developing baby.
