Question 6

what is morning sickness?

Accepted Answer

Nuasea/vomiting: We believe it may be a primitive protective mechanism that helps to ensure the mother does not get exposed to spoiled food and toxins.  Usually the symptoms will get better by about 10 weeks, although some women continue to have symptoms throughout the pregnancy.

Question 7

what causes morning sickness?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid : We are not entirely sure but there is some evidence to suggest it is because of transient overactivity of the thyroid.  It probably is a primitive protective mechanism to prevent exposure to spoiled or rotten food.

Question 8

when do morning sickness occur?

Accepted Answer

First trimester : Usualy it occurs during the first 13 weeks and then resolves after that.

Question 9

what can ease morning sickness ?

Accepted Answer

REMEDY: Usually "morning sickness" abates by the end of three months.  In the meantime, I have found that a few saltine crackers seems to help.  Perhaps your own obstetrician (I hope you have one) has his/her own solutions.

Question 10

when do you get morning sickness?

Accepted Answer

4-6wks: Morning sickness is the reaction your body has to Hcg (pregnancy hormone). Some ppl get the same reaction to TSH if they're hyperthyroid. You can start getting nauseous at 4 wks, w/ peak symptoms at 6wks, usually stopping by mid-2nd trimester. Natural remedies are ginger (tea/candy), vit B6. Rx: Metoclopramide/Reglan, hydroxyzine, benadryl, phenergan, (promethazine) and zofran are all good methods to try.
