How to Avoid Morning Sickness During Pregnancy

Pregnancy and expecting a baby is one of the most remarkable experience a woman may pass through. But with the too many changes going on, you may find yourself facing some problems When I was pregnant, morning sickness was one of the worst things that I had to deal with and sometimes it even lasted all day long. Here are some tips that helped me overcome this problem:
- Have four to five small meals during the day instead of three large portions.
- Your breakfast is a very important meal, make sure you never miss it as an empty stomach will make even more uncomfortable.
- When waking up have a piece of bread before getting up from bed.
- Good nutrition may help. For example, adding rice or pureed potato to meals or having toasted bread as a snack which is a good supply for energy. And do no forget to ask your doctor for the right vitamin supplements that are crucial for you and your baby development.
- Drink lots of fluids as you may be loosing them while vomiting, milkshakes, fresh juices... but try to reduce your use for coffee and tea to the min.
- Avoid or at least reduce the use of spices and fats. Fried food will only make things more difficult.
- Nice scents such as vanilla or lime may help, by smelling it or adding a squeeze of lemon to your soda or salad.
- Some sights or smells of cooking and smoking will make you feel bad, avoid them and be sure your home is has an access for fresh air.
- Relax, being mad or under stress may make you uncomfortable. Just lay back from time to time, close your eyes, breathe slowly and imagine your baby between your arms. Or take a small walk in a nearby park.
- Whenever I got into a car the sickness increased, believe or not, a lollipop or candy made me feel much better.
