Toxicosis is a natural reaction, similar to allergic: after all, in the mother's forehead lives a creature half consisting of an alien, more accurately received from the pope, protein. Still others blame the "pregnancy hormones" and the yellow body responsible for their production. In general, the causes of toxicosis are still debated - and women in the meantime are suffering.
When to start worrying?
If the future mother is nauseous, this does not mean that the unborn child is sick, too: a couple of bouts a day do not affect the baby. But if you feel sick from every movement and you feel bad even at night, if dizziness has started, the pressure has dropped dramatically, and the skin has become excessively dry - this is an occasion to ask the doctor for help.
What to do?
It is advisable not to bring to "self-poisoning", and to know when the early toxicosis begins: diet, the regime of the day - in a word, to lead a maximally healthy lifestyle. But few are capable of this, and it turns out that future mothers are fighting not with causes, but with manifestations of toxicosis.
When toxicosis is troubled by the smell of food alone, but the main provoker of vomiting is an empty stomach. Therefore, the most effective way to combat nausea is to force yourself to eat something.
Eat a little - a little bit, but every 2-3 hours. And eat only what the soul lies to, even if it's chips. Have breakfast lying down. So food has less chance of being outside again. The best breakfast is an apple or yogurt, but there are options. Instead of carbohydrates - proteins. Include in the menu more products containing protein (and at the same time, calcium): kefir, cottage cheese, cheese, eggs. Preheat the food. Both hot and cold will have to make room: food should be warm and ideally semi-liquid. But - not soup: the best option - children's fruit purees.
Search and try. Every future mother has her gastronomic discoveries during a toxicosis. One helps lemon, the other - strawberry jam, the third - salted rusks, the fourth - seeds. How many people, so many helpers.
Strip. The main rule of toxicosis - the products that were taken by the body today, can be rejected by him tomorrow. So, it is necessary to be in constant search of that, from what not toshnit. Have a rest. Overexertion provokes nausea, so physical activity in the first trimester is better restricted. And do not make sharp movements in the morning. Walk in the open air. Walking at least two hours a day and sleeping with an open window can ease the condition. Eat fresh. Do not provoke nausea with oily, spicy or abundant food. Drink a lot. Do not drink down food, but drink more between meals. And choose mineral water with gas, although it is not as useful as usual.
Do not smoke: not only is it just harmful - smoking increases the secretion of gastric juice, which can cause nausea.
How's it going?
Nausea comes about six weeks after the start of the last menstrual cycle and ends at 12-13th week. Reaction to twins is stronger and lasts longer. Although it is considered that toxicosis is when it gets sick in the morning, some future mothers may have a "twilight" condition all day long, others worry only after sunset, and visit only a couple of times in three months.
What happens?
From the normal state of toxicosis easily turns into a disease that complicates the course of pregnancy.
Who is sickening more?
According to the doctors' observations, toxic nutrition is promoted by malnutrition before pregnancy, inflammatory diseases of the genitals and uterus, as well as some non-pregnancy-related disorders - endocrine or neurological. Against the background of colds, fatigue and lack of sleep, toxicosis intensifies. A bad mood is also a factor, exacerbating faintness.
The main thing is to monitor the manifestations of when an early toxicosis in a pregnant woman begins, to control weight, blood pressure, eat as much as possible and rest more.
Moderate degree of toxicosis is accompanied by vomiting up to ten times a day. A woman feels weak, falls into apathy, loses weight, problems with pressure and temperature begin. This condition already requires hospitalization and observation of doctors. Although medicines for the treatment of toxicosis are almost not used, physicians will be able to compensate for the loss of fluids and nutrients, so that neither the child nor the mother is harmed.
The expressed degree of a toxicosis meets extremely seldom. With her food does not stay at all in the mother's body, frequent vomiting provokes a sharp loss of weight - 2-3 kg per week. Without treatment, this condition can not be left.
Sometimes toxicosis is masked: instead of nausea takes the form of asthma attacks, expressed in problems with the skin, jaundice, convulsions.
