Depending on the circumstances, one should also exclude other serious conditions, evaluate if you are taking in sufficient foods and fluids and check the condition of the baby.
  • Try to still eat as well as you can under the circumstances.
  • Drink plenty of water, especially if you are losing fluid through actual vomiting.
  • Eat smaller meals more often. High levels of acid in an empty stomach can, in itself, increase nausea. Low blood glucose caused by insufficient food intake is also a cause of nausea. By eating something small more often, it is possible to avoid these.
  • Get your partner to bring you a dry biscuit or toast while you are still on your back in bed and eat it before you get up.

  This is a very exciting time for both you and your baby. So enjoy it and do not hesitate to contact your doctor if you are experiencing any troublesome symptoms.
