Question

Answer 1

Ginger products: Cookies, root slices--even the candied ones, drinks, etc... Ask you doctor about Diclegis. Many women experience significant relief with it in pregnancy.

Answer 4

Dry foods: When you have the nausea and vomiting try toast, crackers, pretzel sticks.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

Increased estrogen: It is felt to be caused by an increase in circulating estrogen during pregnancy. Morning sickness can actually occur at any time of the day. It usually resolves by week 12.

Answer 7

Progesterone: Its from increasing levels of Progesterone mostly. Progesterone is known to relax smooth muscle in the stomach and esophagus, and cause nausea and heartburn. Just ask anyone who has taken the morning after pill.

Check preg test: First thing to do is to check a pregnancy test and see if this is the cause.

No: Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy symptoms usually peaks at 8 weeks and most often gets better by 16 weeks. This may be normal for you depending on how far along you are. If you start spotting/vaginal bleeding, you should call your doctor or midwife.

No,but: Do talk to your ob. Why. You are at the lower cusp of when perimenopausal needs to be considered. Considered! not alarmed. A call to your OB is in order. Best wishes.

Answer 11

Hormones: The hormones of pregnancy cause this. Some believe it is a primitive protective mechanism designed to protect the mom and fetus from toxins and poisons in the food.

Answer 12

Pregnancy?: If you are pregnant, that would be the main cause of morning sickness.

Answer 13

6 weeks: It usually starts at 6 weeks and peaks by 8 to 10 weeks and then subsides.

Answer 14

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.
