Patient's question:
Severe morning sickness, unable to eat anything, constantly hiccups, nausea, what to do?Doctor's answer:
Hello: This is a symptom of early pregnancy, where pregnant women often experience digestive system dysfunction, leading to nausea or vomiting. The so-called "morning sickness" during pregnancy usually occurs in the morning and disappears within a few hours, although sometimes it may last longer or appear at other times. It generally appears after a 6-week delay in menstruation and naturally recovers by the 12th week of pregnancy. In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose light, refreshing, and nutritious foods such as tomatoes, cucumbers, chili peppers, fresh shiitake mushrooms, fresh oyster mushrooms, fresh hawthorn fruits, apples, etc. The foods selected should be easy to digest and absorb while also helping to reduce vomiting, such as toast, biscuits, or rice or millet porridge. Pay attention to gradually adapting to this new process.
