Early morning sickness takes place at the beginning of the pregnancy, usually during the first 12 weeks. Within this period, a woman is not on parental leave and, in some cases, she does not tell anybody about her pregnancy. On the one hand, early morning sickness is not such a great problem, but on the other hand, it prevents living a full-fledged life.
The causes of early morning sickness are not completely found out. It is considered that the organism answers to the appearing of the genetically half-alien fetus.
The most common symptoms of the early morning sickness are nausea and vomiting. However, sometimes the symptoms can be atypical. Some women do not feel nauseous but suffer from a hyper sialosis (salivation). As well as health disorder, the early morning sickness can affect negatively the pregnancy. Repeated vomiting is the most dangerous. It provokes dehydration, water, and electrolyte imbalance.

Usually, doctors do not prescribe any drugs in mild cases; they just recommend a nutrition care. You should eat in split portions, other words, eat often, but little. It is not advisable to have long breaks between the meals, even at night. If you wake up, eat something (but a little to avoid heavy feeling). It is considered that the lower blood sugar level the stronger vomiting feeling. Eating in split portions helps maintain stable blood sugar level. It is not recommended to choose fast carbohydrates – sweets and cakes for a fast meal, because they boost the blood sugar level, then it decreases sharply, and it aggravates vomiting. Zinziber, mint, and lemon relieve vomiting well, you can eat them but just a little or to add them to the tea. Some women prefer lemon or peppermint drops. Do not limit the liquid, quite the contrary it should be enough.
