Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie /Priya,
I am writing for my sister who is pregnant in India. She lives alone with her husband and doesn't have mom-in-law etc to help her overcome nausea or have some home remedies.
She is 6 weeks and some days and is having a HORRIBLE nausea..She can't eat anything in the morning and vomitting everything out ..Please suggest some home remedies to control this..Her doctor is also rude and when she calls she says its OK..It will go away after first trimesetr..So Please I am hoping you guys can give some advice about what to eat in the morning so that she feels OK
Thnaks in advance..Please help..

Dear Sharn=mista it is true that nausea occurs in the first trimester but some women do coontinue to have nausea maybe through there whole pregnancy.
I cant say this will work as some women are all different but she should increase her intake of carbohydrates for example each whole meal bread crackers potatoes lentils in her diet. Before she sleep encourage her to take in some protein maybe few hours before sleeping a glass of milk may help. She should try and eat early at night if it is hard for her to eat right now then i suggest she eats smaller meals.
Lemonade helps too also she could drink ginger ale if this is available in india. Nimbo paani is good if in india too.
I have heard some women who have saod the eating cumcumbers soaked in water have helped thenm in the past.
These are a few tips if the nausea gets worse and if she is losing a lot of weight then the Dr can prescribe nausea medication

P.s when nauseated tell her not to drink water this will make it worse.
