Poor health during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon that is experienced by almost all future mothers. Poor health appears in pregnant women for various reasons, for example, because of gestosis. Symptoms of gestosis - nausea, vomiting, increased salivation. Early gestosis begins usually immediately after conception, its peak falls on the 6th week. By the 4th month of pregnancy gestosis in a pregnant woman passes. Especially predisposed to the severe course of gestosis of a woman with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Also, poor state of health in gestosis is aggravated by agitation, nervous tension, any negative emotions.

With mild gestosis, nausea and vomiting occur no more than 3 times a day. At the same time, appetite may disappear, salivation may increase, therefore, a woman may lose weight at the initial stages of pregnancy.

With a poor state of health during pregnancy, you can cope at home. If the pregnant woman feels very badly, then it is necessary to lie on inpatient treatment. To feel better, carefully monitor your taste preferences. Pregnant women are often subject to whims, so do not deny yourself anything. If you want a salty, eat salty. But remember that everything is useful in moderation. The main rule of food is lightness, the presence of vitamins.

If in the morning you are sick with nausea and vomiting, eat small portions. Better eat every 4 hours little by little. To muffle a fit of nausea, chew. Chewing reduces bad health. Chewing is better not chewing gum, but such products as dried fruits, salted croutons, lemon, nuts.

If the nausea does not go away, it's better to lie down. Food, by the way, can also be taken lying in bed. In the morning it is useful to drink a cup of sweet tea or eat a slice of white bread. Nausea passes if you eat dry.

To reduce salivation, rinse your mouth with a mint broth or a decoction of chamomile.

With late gestosis, women develop swelling, blood pressure rises, and protein is increased in urine analysis.

Poor health during pregnancy can be prevented by organizing proper day regimen and diet. Badly affects the well-being of night work during pregnancy. With a severe course of gestosis, it is better to give up work altogether, rest more and eat properly. If a pregnant woman is exposed to stress, then in such cases prescribe tincture of motherwort, valerian. It is useful if you feel bad about drinking green tea, broths of dogrose, mineral water.

Also, pregnant women often complain of heartburn. Heartburn appears already in the second half of pregnancy. Our grandmothers said that heartburn appears in the pregnant woman when the hair begins to grow in the baby. Heartburn attacks last from a few minutes to several hours. Heartburn is repeated usually several times a day.

To reduce heartburn, it is recommended to exclude the following foods from the diet: muffin, fresh bread, fatty meat and fish, acidic foods, black coffee, ice cream, carbonated water, spices. To prevent heartburn and poor health, eat small amounts 5-6 times during the day. Do not lie down for 30 minutes after a meal, since the torso tilt promotes the release of hydrochloric acid from the stomach into the esophagus. Sleep with a high pillow and empty your bowels every day. From a heartburn well help or assist broth of a St. John's wort, camomiles, and also fruit jelly. As prescribed by the doctor, take such drugs as maalox, almagel, smecta.

Poor health during pregnancy is often associated with constipation. In the second half of pregnancy, especially at later periods, constipation is a common occurrence, since the severity of the uterus squeezes the intestines, the blood stagnates, which leads to a decrease in peristalsis and constipation. Constipation can be a consequence of anxiety or stress. If the constipation is repeated in the pregnant woman constantly, then you should follow a diet and diet. You should eat more foods that are rich in fiber, which facilitates digestion and bowel movement. Stimulate the work of the intestine fresh cabbage, beets, tomatoes, carrots, apples, cucumbers, nuts, bread. Laxative products are lactic acid products: acidophilus, kefir, fermented baked milk. In order not to suffer from constipation, drink a glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach, and at night - a glass of kefir.

If, on the contrary, for any reason, a pregnant woman has diarrhea, this is also the cause of poor health. The fixing effect is strong tea, chocolate, semolina porridge, fresh blueberries.
