Patient's question:
I am currently two months pregnant and have been experiencing morning sickness for a week. At first, it was just nausea when I woke up in the morning and brushed my teeth, sometimes accompanied by dry heaves. In the past two days, I've been vomiting everything I eat shortly after finishing a meal. I can't eat anything.What kind of help do I need: What should I eat to alleviate morning sickness?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, about 3/4 of women will start experiencing nausea and vomiting again during the 6th week of pregnancy. Some pregnant women may never experience morning sickness throughout their entire pregnancy. Morning sickness usually does not last very long, and about half of the pregnant women will have their morning sickness symptoms disappear by the 14th week of pregnancy. Some pregnant women may not see their morning sickness symptoms disappear until the 18th week. There are also some pregnant women who have morning sickness throughout their entire pregnancy. Severe morning sickness can be relieved by acupuncture. Ginger, lemon, and other remedies can also alleviate morning sickness. In terms of diet, it is important to eat small meals frequently and take appropriate medication. Pregnant women should also pay attention to exercise, as doing a few sets of health exercises can reduce early pregnancy symptoms. Acupuncture can help alleviate morning sickness.
