It will also deprive the mother and the baby vital nutrients and vitamins if the mother cannot hold the food and water down. This usually would require hospital admission so that the mother can be given continuous fluids through a drip and the baby's vital signs can also be closely monitored. There are a few ways to help a pregnant woman prevent morning sickness.

Always take your time to get out of bed. For those who feel instantly ill as soon as they rise, then eat something light before you even get out of bed, like dry toast, a muesli bar or some fresh fruit juice. Leave them beside your bed so they can be reached easily first thing in the morning. Throughout the day, take frequent small meals, even if you don't feel like it. This will prevent an empty stomach which could magnify the morning sickness.

Stay away from caffeine laden drinks such as coffee or fizzy soft drinks as well as alcohol. Try to avoid heavy-duty housework, take things easy and have plenty of rest or short naps throughout the day or whenever you feel tired.

If you find certain food or the smell of certain food trigger the morning sickness, then avoid coming into contact with them. This is especially relevant when you are at a supermarket. Try not to brush your teeth too rigorously or brush them straight after a meal as this may induce vomiting. If you feel up to it, get some fresh air, take a short walk, do some gentle exercise to take your mind off any feeling of nausea.

Do always remember to take regular breaks during any kind of activity, listen closely to your body. Stop immediately if you feel light-headed or short of breath. The aim is to take your mind off the morning sickness by gentle activity but not to the extent of over-exerting yourself.

ake things slow and easy and move slowly. Do not twist your body suddenly or have jerky and sudden movements. Find whichever way that makes you comfortable in bed, if you need many fluffy pillows, do so. Never go to bed with a full or empty stomach, always remember to top up your food intake.

If possible, always keep your place well-aired so that you get fresh air throughout the day and night. If none of the above works and you keep vomiting at least four times a day with dramatic weight loss, then consult a doctor immediately. You must make sure to top up your fluid levels for your well-being and the baby's too.

New research has indicated that for those expectant mothers who do not experience morning sickness are more than twice as likely to suffer a miscarriage than those who do. These researchers are convinced that far from having a negative impact on the baby due to the mother's constant throwing up and nausea leading to a lack of food intake as a result of the lack of appetite, morning sickness is believed to be an evolutionary defence mechanism that protects the mother and the child from very harmful living organisms found in food.

Taking proper nutrients during early stages of pregnancy is very important to ensure the foetus' healthy development. This is also the time (the first twelve weeks of gestation) where a baby is at its most vulnerable. This may help to explain why many pregnant women develop an aversion to foods that they used to love. They get put off easily by the simple day to day items such as the smell of coffee, meat, fish, cheeses and eggs. These are the types of food which harbour harmful micro-organisms and parasites during the food handling process.

Similarly, pregnant women are advised to always cook their egg thoroughly until the yolk is hard. They are advised against eating soft cheeses and to stay away from liver products.

Morning sickness is believed to be nature's way of shielding the mother and foetus from food-borne illnesses from harmful chemicals that have the potential to disrupt the normal development of foetal organs at the height of its development (e.g. the first trimester of gestation). This also explains why most women feel better after the first twelve weeks of pregnancy as this is the time when the building blocks of the development of the baby have been laid down, not completely out of the danger zone, but at least it is not as vulnerable as it was during the first trimester.

Morning sickness symptoms should gradually subside from this point forward. Although doctors are quick to reassure expectant mothers that not experiencing morning sickness does not mean their baby is in any kind of danger or that they will suffer a miscarriage. Research shows most women give birth to healthy babies despite experiencing little to no morning sickness symptoms.

In any case, it is universally agreed that pregnant women should avoid prescription drugs unless the morning sickness is so severe that not doing so would put the mother and the baby's health in great danger of a miscarriage.

Mother Nature loves irony. How else to explain taking the happiest time in a woman's life and causing her to become physically ill and miserable?

And, what's with using the term, "morning sickness"? Actually, the correct term is "nausea and vomiting of pregnancy". Which is closer to the truth since the condition can and will occur anytime of the day.

Facts about the condition:

1. 50-95% of pregnant women suffer from it.
2. Dehydration can happen in extreme cases.
3. Occurs in first month of pregnancy.
4. Continues until 14th-16th week.
5. 50% of women will suffer for another month.

Although nobody will say for sure what the definite causes are, the theories are:

1. Estrogen level increase.
2. Low blood sugar.
3. Increased sensitivity to smells where many odors instantly trigger the gag-reflex.
4. Rise in progesterone level . This hormone helps relax the uterus in order to prevent early labor but it also relaxes the stomach and intestines which cause excess acids in the stomach and slower waste removal.
5. Eating unhealthy foods. Seems the body has a sure-fire way to make sure you don't ingest anything not good for you or baby.
6. An increase in human chorionic gonadotropin! Now you know why they prefer to call it (hCG) This is a peptide hormone produced by the embryo soon after conception and later on by the placenta. It's role is to maintain crucial levels of progesterone production vital in human pregnancies.
7. Excess salivation which nauseates some women

It's difficult to spend time on the causes when all you want is relief. As with anything to do with the human body, there's no one-size-fits-all remedy. There will be a period of trial and error as you find what works for you. Of course it goes without saying, you will be consulting with your doctor/care-provider.

So here are some corrective measures used by many women:

1. Eating small, frequent meals. An empty stomach produces an acid which aggravates the stomach lining.
2. Foods should be high in proteins and complex carbohydrates. Yogurt, cheese and eggs for example: Whole-grain breads and cereals. Don't make the mistake of thinking of whole-wheat as being whole- grain. You want the product label to say " 100% whole-grain". Big difference and healthy for mother and baby.
3. Drink fluids. Dehydration makes everything worse. Extreme cases need to be hospitalized. If you can't stomach fluids, try eating fruit which has high water content and low acid like grapes and watermellon .
4. Ginger (zingiber officinale) The age-old remedy for upset stomachs. Either capsules, tea or ginger- snaps, candy. Try to get ginger ale made with real ginger. Usually not supermarket brands. You may have to try the health-food section in your grocery or an actual health-food store.
5. Brushing teeth after vomiting will decrease excess saliva and lessen stomach turmoil. And, prevents tooth decay and makes you feel better.
6. Get proper rest. Fatigue and stress will cause morning sickness to worsen. If able to, nap often.
7. Stay away from fatty, spicy, rich, acidic and fried foods.
8. Eat crackers before getting out of bed. Get up slowly.
9. Take prenatal vitamins later on in the day.
10. Try vitamin B6.
11. Microwave cooking produces less odors. Better yet, have someone else do the cooking while you, lucky girl,stay away!
12. Go smell lemons. Believe it or not, relief may be found by sprinkling essential oil of lemon on a handkerchief and holding it to your nose.
13. Warm places can trigger nausea. Try to stay cool. If not in air conditioning, install fans around you.Even a battery-operated hand-held fan can bring relief.
14. If your stomach agrees, eat what you want when you want it. Your special cravings are trying to tell you something.

Although it can be downright annoying when well-meaning friends and family tell you, "This too shall pass".

Especially when you feel miserable. Usually after the first trimester, you will again be concentrating on happy, future events.

Again, Congratulations!

At the outset, it is important to understand that the nausea associated with being pregnant can occur throughout the day and night and is not confined to the morning. Many women historically have experienced pregnancy related nausea in the morning. But, calling it morning sickness really is something of a misnomer.

In addition, you need to understand that nausea associated with pregnancy is normal, particularly during the first trimester. However, with that said and understood, if you find that you are suffering from severe nausea or if you find that you are spending a good deal of time nauseated, you definitely will want to speak with your doctor. There are some rather rare instances in which nausea during pregnancy can be the consequence of something more serious. Therefore, you really do want to make sure that you visit with your doctor if the nausea you are experiencing associated with your pregnancy is more severe and unrelenting.

There is no definitive conclusion as to why some experience severe nausea during the course of a pregnancy while others don't. Most experts tend to agree that the various physical changes that accompany a pregnancy are the prime factors that lead to pregnancy related nausea. Specifically, many of these experts agree that hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin is the prime contributor to the nausea that is suffered by many women who are pregnant. Some research also suggests that the hormone estrogen also plays a contributing role in the nausea that is suffered during pregnancy by some women.

You are likely to find that certain foods aggravate a condition of pregnancy related nausea. The reality is that this differs from woman to woman. Therefore, you will have to go through a period of trial and error until you eliminate those foods that aggravate your nausea and those that do not. On a related note, some women experience some relief from pregnancy related nausea by eating certain food items or drinking certain beverages. Once again, this does differ from person to person and you will need to experiment a bit in this regard. As an side, simply because a food or beverage may have helped control nausea when you were not pregnant does not mean that it will have the same effect when you are pregnant.

As mentioned previously, if the symptoms of pregnancy related nausea become more severe or seem to persist without any relief, you must see your doctor. There needs to be a determination made that nothing more serious is going on. Moreover, your physician can recommend medications that may help to relieve your pregnancy relate nausea symptoms.

I feel nauseated all the time - not just in the morning - throughout the day, is this normal?

Unfortunately, morning sickness is not limited to the morning and around 60 to 80 percent of women reportedly feel nauseous in the morning, evening and night. Misery loves company so while you may feel better reading this and knowing you are not alone, this doesn't mean you should treat it likely. Speak to your doctor at once especially if you keep vomiting. You may even need to be hospitalised because if you keep throwing up both you and your baby will get dehydrated. You will probably need to be hydrated intravenously with the help of electrolytes, fluids and glucose.

Can morning sickness affect my baby?

If your morning sickness is relatively mild, your baby will be absolutely fine, as long as you don't keep throwing up and are able to retain fluids and food. What is important is that you must not be throwing up all the time so you get dehydrated. As long as there is sufficient food and water in your body, your baby will be fine.

Remember to eat food rich in minerals and vitamins. If you like your cornflakes, pick one up that's fortified with extra minerals. Eat vitamin supplements along with food instead of taking them randomly throughout the day. They are easier on the stomach.

Can I do anything to reduce nausea?

Don't we wish there was some miracle cure for reducing morning sickness without any side effects? Unfortunately, there's nothing of the sort. However, there are certain things that could help reduce morning sickness and soothe nausea. Try eating small meals throughout the day. If possible, keep chewing on something or the other. The meals should be low in fat and high in carbohydrates. Avoid eating foods with offensive odours as it may trigger nausea. You will find that you feel nauseaus after eating certain foods. Once you've figured out what makes you sick, stay away from it.

Another tip to help reduce nausea:

Try taking 50 milligrams of vitamin B6 twice a day. However, this does not work for all women but if it does work for you, great! In any case, the vitamin helps strengthen the immune system, helps metabolise certain amino acids and is good for you, so take it anyway. Foods that include this vitamin are:

• Bananas
• Brown rice
• Fish
• Whole grains
• Corn
• Nuts
• Avocados

How long will this morning sickness last?

On an average, morning sickness lasts anywhere from three weeks to three months. Some women hardly feel nauseous while others feel sick right up to their pregnancy. However, it is rare that a woman feels nauseous throughout at the most eating something or a certain smell may trigger nausea.

Will I be more likely to develop motion sickness when pregnant?

While there is no obvious link between motion sickness and pregnancy, anything can trigger off morning sickness, even motion; especially if you are slightly prone to motion sickness, the feeling will only get magnified.

Will a change of place or weather make me more prone to morning sickness?

Yes, it is possible for you to feel sicker when you've moved to a new place, till you've adjusted to the place and climate. If you have planned a holiday at a hill station, make sure you increase your water intake, as the climate is drier and dehydration is common.
