Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, pregnant for over two months, experiencing severe morning sickness. She can't eat anything every day, and vomits after dinner. She feels very pitiful and has become very frail. What should a pregnant woman eat after vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Nausea is a common condition experienced by all postpartum women, with varying degrees of severity. Consuming acidic foods can help alleviate it, such as bayberries, citrus fruits, lemons, etc. This stimulates the secretion of glands in the stomach wall, increasing appetite. In terms of diet, pregnant women should eat more easily digestible foods like juices, biscuits, bread, etc. They should also consume high-protein foods in moderation, such as animal liver, eggs, lean meat, etc. Avoid spicy and greasy foods. Pregnant women can adopt a small-meals-multiple-times-a-day approach, eat more fruits and vegetables, and take digestive vitamins. After meals, a short walk can aid digestion. Breathing fresh air helps the fetus's physical and mental development. If nausea is severe and symptoms such as dehydration and fatigue reappear, immediate medical attention is necessary.
