The Morning Sickness

Yeah, it is there and most of us are badly affected and it is feared most.
It is indeed bad, but, its all in state of mind !

There are plenty of resources available on internet to curb the throwing up part of pregnancy, but I'll tell you what worked in my case. All our bodies are unique in some or the other way and they do respond well to certain things and have different triggers. Here are some ways which helped me fighting the morning sickness -

  • Its all in our head !
    Have a strong resolve and think you are tougher than the sickness. It really works. 
  • Identify your triggers - In my case it was boiling milk, cooking eggs, toasting with butter. We all have some or the other kind of smell or sight weaknesses that can trigger vomiting. Identify them and stay away from them. 
  • Eat every two hours - Keeping your stomach empty is one of the major causes of vomiting. I understand you don't feel like eating anything, but try to nibble your favorite biscuit or chocolate or any fruit, whatever you can eat. 
  • Try lime based fruits to feel fresh - Keep a lemon or orange or sweet lime with you always. Its super refreshing smell did wonders to me. 
  • Keep chewing bits of salted or caramelized adrak (gingeror amla (Indian Gooseberry
  • Last but not the least, its just a customary thing that comes with your condition, don't worry, it will go away, just stay happy and calm ! You're going to be a mom soon :)
    And trust me its all worth it :) :)
