Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy — often called morning sickness — are very common, especially during the first trimester. While they usually improve by the second trimester, there are several effective ways to help prevent or reduce the symptoms:

⸻

🌸 Lifestyle and Dietary Tips
1. Eat small, frequent meals
• Avoid having an empty stomach. Eat something light every 2–3 hours (crackers, toast, banana).
2. Start the day gently
• Eat a few crackers or dry toast before getting out of bed in the morning.
3. Avoid triggers
• Identify and stay away from smells or foods that worsen nausea (fried, greasy, or strong-smelling foods).
4. Stay hydrated
• Sip fluids throughout the day, especially cold or carbonated drinks (ginger ale, lemon water, or electrolyte drinks).
5. Try ginger
• Ginger tea, ginger candies, or ginger capsules can ease mild nausea.
6. Include high-protein snacks
• Protein helps stabilize blood sugar (try yogurt, nuts, or cheese).
7. Avoid lying down after meals
• Wait at least 30 minutes before reclining to prevent reflux and worsening nausea.
8. Get fresh air
• Take short walks or keep a window open; fresh air often helps.

⸻

🌿 Natural and Alternative Remedies
• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) – 10–25 mg every 8 hours can safely reduce nausea.
• Acupressure wristbands – like those used for motion sickness, may relieve symptoms.

⸻

💊 When Lifestyle Changes Aren’t Enough

If symptoms persist or become severe (hyperemesis gravidarum), your doctor may prescribe:
• Doxylamine + Vitamin B6 (first-line treatment, safe in pregnancy)
• Antiemetics such as ondansetron, metoclopramide, or promethazine (under supervision)
• IV fluids and electrolyte replacement if dehydration occurs

⸻

⚠️ When to See Your Doctor

Seek medical attention if you experience:
• Inability to keep fluids down for 24 hours
• Weight loss >2–3 kg
• Signs of dehydration (dry mouth, dark urine, dizziness)
• Blood in vomit

Are you having problems like cramps? Constipation?

Magnesium matters for moms-to-be!
Keeping your magnesium levels healthy helps prevent cramps, supports your baby’s growth, and lowers your risk for complications like preeclampsia.

Stay nourished, stay balanced — because a healthy mom means a healthy baby. 💖

One of my patients whom I recently delivered shared this excerpt to me today and it made me tear up while reading it. Thank you for appreciating the work I do. It makes me keep doing what I love to do 🥹🩷🙏🏻

—————————-

To the doctors who brought my babies safely into this world through the blade

I may not even remember all your names, but I’ll never forget your faces.
The way you spoke calmly while my world felt like it was crashing.
The way your hands didn’t shake while holding the blade that would open me up so my baby could breathe.

You looked like an ordinary human in scrubs but that day, you were heaven in human form.

You didn’t just perform a surgery.
You stood between life and death for me, for my child and you chose life for us.
You stitched my body back together while my heart was breaking open in fear.
You held the weight of my world in your hands, and you didn’t drop it.

Every scar I carry is a reminder of your steadiness.
Every cry my baby makes today is proof of your skill, your courage, your calling.
You don’t just “deliver” babies ; you deliver mothers from the edge.

So, to every doctor who has ever performed a C-section,
thank you for doing what so many of us can never fully put into words. 🫶🏾
Thank you for the sleepless nights, the quiet focus, the calm in chaos.
Thank you for choosing to stay in rooms where miracles and heartbreak coexist.

Because of you, I got to hear that first cry.
Because of you, I get to hold the reason my world makes sense.
Because of you, I lived. My baby lived.
Because of you, we both are still here !

And that’s something I will never, ever forget. 🤍
