Nausea and Vomiting

Nausea and Vomiting
Morning sickness is one of the most common symptoms of early pregnancy. And though the name suggests symptoms only occur in the morning, they can really happen at any time of day. Hormones are in high production mode and changes to sense of smell and food taste can leave a newly pregnant woman feeling more sick than glowing. Morning sickness often lasts only a few short weeks and can be tackled by eating small meals, snacking on crackers, and drinking plenty of water. Mints and hard candy may also help curb that  nauseous feeling. If vomiting is severe, contact your physician; dehydration from vomiting can lead to other health concerns.

Other painful body changes include:

• Constipation/Diarrhea
• Hemorrhoids
• Body Aches and Pains
• Heartburn and Indigestion
• Swelling
• Other Painful Body Changes

It is normal for the pregnant woman to undergo many body changes, aches and pains during pregnancy. Most are associated with hormones and the pain will stop when hormone levels return to normal. However, as with any symptom in general, call your doctor if you are concerned about something. Only your doctor can examine you to make sure your symptoms are OK.
