While “morning sickness” does tend to be more intense upon waking and shortly thereafter, the fact is that nausea during pregnancy can be experienced during any time of the day, as many women will attest.Most women (3 of 4) will experience some kind of nausea, vomiting, or both, most often beginning around week 6 and lasting to about week 14 to 18; there are a few unfortunate women who do experience nausea and/or vomiting until the last day of their pregnancies. But, no matter how long the symptoms last, it is an unpleasant condition which should not be dismissed just because it is common or temporary.

While the causes of symptoms of nausea during pregnancy have not been definitively identified, they are likely related to physical, hormonal, and even psychological factors.The most important of these is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG, or the pregnancy hormone), whose rising levels tend to match rising feelings of nausea and vice versa; another important hormone is estrogen, which has been shown to increase sensitivity to aromas.

Some researchers believe that, for some women, feeling nauseated or throwing up is their natural response to stress, so it is normal for them to have morning sickness during pregnancy.There are many strategies you can use to try to get nausea relief; though they are not backed by hard science, they are practices which have been used by generations of women and do not involve medication.

Many women try to eat several times during the day, always keeping something in their stomachs; you can also keep crackers by your bed for right when you wake up in the morning.Give your stomach a chance to settle by staying in bed for another twenty to thirty minutes, and then slowly get up – it is likely you’ll experience less nausea.It’s a smart rule of thumb for pregnant women to take their time in the mornings, and not get up right away.

Some women swear that high-protein foods help relieve nausea, while others find comfort in high-carbohydrate ones; whatever works for you, you’ll probably want to stay away from anything which is spicy, rich, or acidic.If a food makes you feel nauseous, don’t eat it – even if this means you eat a very limited variety of foods, it’s better than forcing yourself and getting sick after.Food which are hot tend to have stronger aromas, which can cause nausea; therefore, eat mostly bland foods and try to have them at room temperature or cold.

Having lots of beverages is important, as it helps replace liquids lost in vomiting, though you will want to avoid drinking too much with food; in between meals, try cold carbonated drinks, sports drinks, and anything with real ginger, like a ginger tea or ginger ale (check the label).

Keep in mind that nausea triggers can be unrelated to food – like motion sickness or heavy odors (such as perfume); you might also consider techniques like using an acupressure wristband or even hypnosis.Morning sickness may be common, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a huge, stressful obstacle; this means that even if you’ve tried every natural remedy and they don’t work, you can and should still discuss medication options with your doctor.
