What to do if a pregnant woman vomits after eating

In the early stages of pregnancy, many patients will have early pregnancy symptoms, such as vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, etc. These conditions can be alleviated by taking folic acid. Daily use of folic acid will not affect the growth and development of the child, and the symptoms of morning sickness in pregnant women can also be relieved. During this period, mothers need to maintain a good mood, and eating small meals frequently can relieve symptoms. This article introduces several improvement methods, let’s take a look.

1. Diet

1. Eat small and frequent meals. For example, change three meals a day to 5-6 times a day, eating less each time. Or eat something every 2 to 3 hours.

2. Place some snacks by the bed, such as biscuits, candies, etc. Eat a little every day before going to bed and before getting up. Do not miss any meals and avoid empty stomach.

3. Drink beverages half an hour before or after meals. Acidic drinks can help reduce saliva production. Tea or sweetened carbonated drinks can help calm nausea. Or try lemonade. Drink plenty of water and absorb enough fluids to avoid dehydration caused by vomiting.

4. Try eating cold food instead of hot food (cold food doesn't emit as strong a smell). Avoid eating too greasy or spicy food.

5. Move slowly when getting up or standing up, and do not lie down immediately after eating.

2. Smell

1. Stay away from strong flavors. If cooking smells are too strong, increase ventilation in the kitchen by opening windows or exhaust fans. Cooking in a microwave oven will reduce the production of odors such as oily smoke.

2. You can prepare a handkerchief and sprinkle a few drops of non-nausea-causing vegetable oil, such as lemon, on it, which will have a certain relief effect when necessary.

3. Seek help from a doctor

1. If you are vomiting a lot, you can describe your symptoms to your doctor and she will recommend safe and effective medications to treat morning sickness to avoid causing more discomfort.

4. Lifestyle

1. Excessive exercise or noisy environment will aggravate morning sickness. Morning sickness will be aggravated when you are tired, so you should pay more attention to rest, and it is best to take a short nap at noon. Slowing down your walking pace can also help relieve morning sickness. Get enough rest at night and go to bed early.

2. Keep the indoor air fresh, open the windows slightly when sleeping, and take more walks outdoors, but be careful not to catch a cold. Because air that is too hot can increase feelings of nausea, try to avoid places where the temperature is too high.

3. Changes in mood also play a big role, and stress can aggravate morning sickness. Keep yourself calm and don't be too nervous or anxious. Brush your teeth after meals. Brushing your teeth in the early morning often stimulates vomiting, so you might as well eat something before brushing your teeth.
