Today, let's talk about: morning sickness is serious, how to ensure nutrition? Does it affect the physical development of the baby? Come and hear what the experts have to say!
01
Morning sickness, really normal
Early pregnancy reactions are a normal physiological phenomenon that most pregnant mothers will experience, and there is no need to worry too much.
Nausea and vomiting in the first trimester generally begins at 5 to 6 weeks of pregnancy, the most obvious at 9 weeks of pregnancy, most pregnant mothers to 3 months after pregnancy, the symptoms "magically" disappear, but about 10% of pregnant mothers nausea and vomiting will last throughout pregnancy.
Of particular concern is the most severe hyperemesis gravidarum.

If there is severe and persistent nausea and vomiting in the first trimester, almost to the point of "what to eat and what to vomit" or even complete inability to eat, it will cause the pregnant mother's body to be dehydrated, ketosis or even ketoacidosis, and should be hospitalized in time.
02
Morning sickness rarely affects the fetus
The growth of the fetal baby in the first trimester is relatively slow, and there is no need for pregnant mothers to increase their intake of various energy and nutrients. In addition to the well-known folic acid, for pregnant mothers who do not have obvious reactions to early pregnancy, they basically maintain a balanced diet before pregnancy, and do not have to increase the amount of food.
Some pregnant mothers have always had a good appetite, and just found that pregnancy began to "let go of the supplement", resulting in excessive weight gain in the first trimester, which will significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes.
For pregnant mothers with severe morning sickness or significantly reduced appetite, it is not necessary to deliberately maintain a balanced diet, and can choose light foods that are easy to digest according to personal preferences, eat less and more meals, and are not limited to meal time.
Ordinary morning sickness will not affect the health of the baby, and pregnant mothers do not have to force themselves to eat.

These key nutrients are guaranteed daily
For pregnant mothers with severe morning sickness, the most important thing is to ensure at least 130 grams of carbohydrates per day.

Fruits, yogurt can be used as a meal, you can also bring some whole wheat bread, whole wheat biscuits, ginger slices, sugar cubes, chocolate, plum and other small snacks, as well as sports functional drinks, etc., after severe vomiting, eat and drink a little can quickly replenish the body's needs.
At the same time, in order to meet the basic needs of energy and high-quality protein, in the case of appetite, try to ensure the intake of eggs, milk, lean meat and soy products.
In addition, it is recommended to take a multivitamin in the first 3 months of pregnancy, which can reduce the incidence and severity of hyperemesis gravidarum vitamin B6 is a drug for the treatment of nausea and vomiting, and pregnant mothers with severe morning sickness can consult a doctor whether they can take it.

It is not easy to be a mother, from the moment you conceive a baby, it can be said that it is a lifelong "cultivation".
Therefore, family members must be more considerate of the hardships of pregnant mothers, and at the same time pay more attention to the physical condition of pregnant women. Of course, I hope that pregnant mothers can get through the difficult pregnancy stage as soon as possible, and then meet with the little baby as soon as possible
