Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for two months, but I've been vomiting severely. Almost every morning as soon as I open my eyes, I start vomiting. I vomit several times a day, and I'm almost at my wit's end. I'm so weak from vomiting now, it's unbearable. What kind of help do I need: What can I eat to relieve morning sickness?Doctor's answer:
1. Eat small meals frequently, but avoid fasting.2. Eat light foods; try to avoid overly salty, greasy, or pungent foods. Biscuits, bread, and soda crackers can help alleviate nausea. Wait at least an hour after eating dry snacks before drinking water.
3. Stay hydrated to prevent dehydration. Bananas and sports drinks can help replenish electrolytes.
4. Keep the indoor air fresh; open windows frequently for ventilation and avoid places with strong odors.
1. Avoid standing for long periods and overexerting yourself.
2. Move slowly when changing positions.
3. Avoid crowded, poorly ventilated places.
