Feel sick while pregnant
Vomiting and morning sickness - NHS
Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, often known as morning sickness, is very common in early pregnancy.
It can affect you at any time of the day or night or you may feel sick all day long.
Morning sickness is unpleasant, and can significantly affect your day-to-day life. But it usually clears up by weeks 16 to 20 of your pregnancy and does not put your baby at any increased risk.
There is a chance of developing a severe form of pregnancy sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum. This can be serious, and there's a chance you may not get enough fluids in your body (dehydration) or not get enough nutrients from your diet (malnourishment). You may need specialist treatment, sometimes in hospital.
Sometimes urinary tract infections (UTIs) can also cause nausea and vomiting. A UTI usually affects the bladder, but can spread to the kidneys.
Non-urgent advice: Call your midwife, GP or 111 if:
you're vomiting and:
- have very dark-coloured urine or have not had a pee in more than 8 hours
- are unable to keep food or fluids down for 24 hours
- feel severely weak, dizzy or faint when standing up
- have tummy (abdominal) pain
- have a high temperature
- vomit blood
- have lost weight
Treatments for morning sickness
Unfortunately, there's no hard and fast treatment that will work for everyone’s morning sickness. Every pregnancy will be different.
But there are some changes you can make to your diet and daily life to try to ease the symptoms.
If these do not work for you or you're having more severe symptoms, your doctor or midwife might recommend medicine.
Things you can try yourself
If your morning sickness is not too bad, your GP or midwife will initially recommend you try some lifestyle changes:
- get plenty of rest (tiredness can make nausea worse)
- avoid foods or smells that make you feel sick
- eat something like dry toast or a plain biscuit before you get out of bed
- eat small, frequent meals of plain foods that are high in carbohydrate and low in fat (such as bread, rice, crackers and pasta)
- eat cold foods rather than hot ones if the smell of hot meals makes you feel sick
- drink plenty of fluids, such as water (sipping them little and often may help prevent vomiting)
- eat foods or drinks containing ginger – there's some evidence ginger may help reduce nausea and vomiting (check with your pharmacist before taking ginger supplements during pregnancy)
- try acupressure – there's some evidence that putting pressure on your wrist, using a special band or bracelet on your forearm, may help relieve the symptoms

Anti-sickness medicine
If your nausea and vomiting is severe and does not improve after trying the above lifestyle changes, your GP may recommend a short-term course of an anti-sickness medicine, called an antiemetic, that's safe to use in pregnancy.
Often this will be a type of antihistamine, which are usually used to treat allergies but also work as medicines to stop sickness (antiemetic).
Antiemetics will usually be given as tablets for you to swallow.
But if you cannot keep these down, your doctor may suggest an injection or a type of medicine that's inserted into your bottom (suppository).
See your GP if you'd like to talk about getting anti-sickness medication.
Risk factors for morning sickness
It's thought hormonal changes in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy are probably one of the causes of morning sickness.
But you may be more at risk of it if:
- you're having twins or more
- you had severe sickness and vomiting in a previous pregnancy
- you tend to get motion sickness (for example, car sick)
- you have a history of migraine headaches
- morning sickness runs in the family
- you used to feel sick when taking contraceptives containing oestrogen
- it's your first pregnancy
- you're obese (your BMI is 30 or more)
- you're experiencing stress

Tips to Help You Feel Better During Pregnancy
During pregnancy, there can be times when you don’t feel well. You may experience nausea and vomiting, heartburn, constipation, a decrease in appetite or swelling in your feet and ankles. Below are some tips to help you manage or avoid some of these uncomfortable feelings.
Nausea and vomiting and pregnancy
Over half of all women suffer from nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Feeling sick is most likely caused by changes in your body such as high levels of hormones in your blood. Nausea and vomiting usually go away after the first trimester. For some women it can last longer, sometimes until the end of pregnancy.
Don’t worry if you can’t eat well for a few weeks. This will not harm you or your baby. Do your best to get enough fluids and eat foods that appeal to you when you feel hungry.
Get help from your dietitian or health care provider if you are so sick that you miss meals day after day or you are losing weight very quickly.
To help you cope:
- Eat small, frequent meals and snacks. Try to eat every two hours so that your stomach does not become empty.
- Choose high protein meals and snacks. Try pita with hummus, cheese and crackers, a small bowl of rice and beans, or yogurt with granola.
- Take small sips of fluid often during the day. Try to avoid cold, tart or sweet drinks like juice, fruit drinks or lemonade.
- Keep foods and drinks separate. Avoid drinking fluids just before, during or right after a meal.
- Keep crackers at your bedside. Eat a few crackers and rest for 15 minutes before getting out of bed.
- Use ginger. Try fresh or ground ginger, ginger ale or ginger tea. You can also take ginger capsules in doses up to 250 mg four times a day. Larger amounts may not be safe. Choose a product with a Natural Product Number (NPN).
If these changes are not enough to help you feel better, talk to your health care provider about medications or other treatments such as acupressure or acupuncture.
What about my prenatal multivitamin?
If you feel that your prenatal multivitamin makes your symptoms worse, do not stop taking it. Try taking your multivitamin with food or just before bed. Ask your dietitian or health care provider to suggest pills that are smaller or have less iron (since iron supplements may make you feel worse).
If this does not help, take a folic acid supplement (0.4 to 1.0 mg) by itself until you feel better.
Heartburn and pregnancy
The pressure of your growing baby and hormone changes can cause heartburn. Get tips to help you cope with heartburn here.
Do not use antacids without talking to your health care provider first. Not all antacids are safe while you are pregnant.
Constipation and pregnancy
Food passes through your body more slowly while you are pregnant so you can absorb the extra nutrients that you and your baby need. This may cause you to become constipated.
To help you manage:
- Drink plenty of fluids. Drink at least 2.3 litres (9 and a half cups) of fluids like water, milk, juice, soup and caffeine-free coffee and tea. Warm or hot fluids may be especially helpful.
- Eat more high fibre foods. You need at least 28 grams of fibre per day while you are pregnant. Add high fibre foods slowly to your diet to avoid gas, bloating, cramps and diarrhea. Try these high fibre meal and snack ideas.
- Have prunes, pears and apples. These fruits have a laxative effect and may help to make your stool softer and easier to pass.
- Be active. Daily physical activity can help keep you regular. It also is important for a healthy pregnancy. Walking is an easy and safe way to be active every day.
Do not use laxatives without talking to your health care provider. Laxatives may start labour contractions.
Poor appetite and pregnancy
There may be times when you do not feel like eating while you are pregnant, especially if you are not feeling well or are constipated. In addition, as your baby continues to grow, your stomach can’t hold as much food causing you to feel full quickly.
To help you meet your energy needs:
- Eat small, frequent meals and snacks. Smaller amounts of food can help prevent you from feeling too full.
- Enjoy drinks that are high in energy and protein. Make smoothies with milk or fortified soy beverage, yogurt, skim milk powder (for extra protein), banana, peanut butter, puréed silken tofu, frozen berries and nut butters.
- Enjoy high energy foods. Try unsalted nuts and seeds, dried fruits, avocado, salmon, cheese and nut butters.

Swelling and pregnancy
You may notice some swelling in your feet, ankles or your hands. Water retention is normal while you are pregnant.
To help reduce swelling:
- Drink plenty of fluids. It is important to drink plenty of water while you are pregnant, even if you are feeling bloated. Water carries nutrients to your body and to your growing baby, takes away waste products from your baby and from you, keeps you cool, helps prevent constipation and helps control swelling. White milk and unsweetened fortified plant-based beverages are also healthy drink options.
- Limit high salt snack foods, fast foods and convenience foods. You do not need to restrict your salt intake while you are pregnant, but too much salt can contribute to water retention Check out this article for tips on lowering your salt intake.
- Put your feet up when you are sitting. Sleep with extra pillows under your feet. Avoid crossing your legs or feet.
- Be active. Daily physical activity can help reduce swelling. It is also important for a healthy pregnancy. Walking is an easy and safe way to be active every day.
- Talk to your health care provider if you notice a rapid increase in your weight or swelling in your upper arms or face.
A dietitian can suggest personalized strategies for overcoming these pregnancy discomforts. Your dietitian will also carefully review what you are eating and drinking to make sure you are getting enough nutrients for you and your baby even when you don’t feel well. Connect with a dietitian today!
Bottom line
Every woman has a different experience during pregnancy and it is normal to sometimes feel unwell. Talk to your dietitian if you feel that you are not eating well because of how you are feeling.

How to deal with nausea
Take the time to understand what makes you worse and what makes you better. Many women find that minimal additions to their lifestyle can help manage nausea.
If you feel sick in the morning, try eating cookies with a glass of water without getting out of bed. It may be better for you now to avoid rushing in the morning and get to work after rush hour. Distribute work in accordance with your well-being, and if some duties make you feel worse, change with colleagues. nine0003
If you can eat, eat whatever you want - you can focus on healthy eating later. Right now you might get better just from the high blood sugar, so peck at something, and then, when the nausea passes, you can eat properly. Eat little and often. Always carry apples, nuts, or sandwiches with you so you can have a snack before you start to feel sick.
If you cannot eat, try to drink more water, diluted juices, or even broth. Try your luck with ice cream: very cold foods usually don't smell. nine0003
It is very important to make sure you drink plenty of fluids. If this is difficult for you, here are some tips:
- Keep a glass of water handy
- Drink through a straw
- Experiment: water - plain or carbonated - with lemon juice. Choose the right proportion.
- Change the temperature of liquids - ice water, warm lemon water, iced fruit teas.
- Sometimes it helps to eat and drink at the same time - drink something and try to eat after that. nine0003

Nausea during pregnancy
Some women experience nausea and even vomiting very early, even before they discover they are pregnant. Nausea torments 85% of pregnant women, and approximately 50% suffer from vomiting. For some women, this is a slight temporary inconvenience. For very few, it is a dangerous condition that takes away the last of their strength. Fortunately, most women fall somewhere in between. nine0003
There are many theories to explain nausea and vomiting. It is known that pregnant women feel better when the formed placenta takes over the production of pregnancy hormones. Most doctors believe that it is the hormones, but some believe that this is a protective mechanism that prevents a pregnant woman from eating something that is harmful to the baby. One study links nausea to women eating a diet high in saturated fat before pregnancy. It's strange that Mother Nature would see fit to spoil the start of a pregnancy like this, but nauseated women all over the world, in all cultures and, it seems, at all times, so in that sense, nausea is a "normal" attribute of pregnancy. nine0003

When to Report Nausea to Your Doctor
Nausea can only become a serious problem if the body is dehydrated. Pernicious vomiting of pregnancy is an extremely rare but serious complication that must be treated in the hospital.
You should tell your doctor even about ordinary nausea, but if you think that this is no longer “normal”, contact your doctor immediately. This should be done if:
- you have been unable to retain food in your body for two or three days;
- you cannot drink;
- you have a fever or pain;
- you have vomiting and diarrhea;
- you have other symptoms such as bleeding;
- nausea came on suddenly, and before that you felt good (in this case, nausea may be caused by food poisoning, so it's better to clarify this).

Does toxicosis affect the child
Surely you wondered: "Is everything all right with my child?" Sometimes you feel so bad that it's hard to believe that the child does not feel anything. But at this stage, the baby is so small that even if you eat almost nothing, he still gets all the nutrients he needs.
If a woman suffers from nausea during pregnancy, she is less likely to have a miscarriage or premature birth, and the risk of birth defects in the baby is not increased. So, while you can't be bothered, your child is probably doing great. nine0003
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 4-13 week
Metallic taste in the mouth and drooling
In early pregnancy, you may develop a strong metallic or bitter taste in your mouth, preventing you from eating certain foods and foods. It often starts very early, and disappears at 12-14 weeks.
Some believe it's due to a lack of nutrients in your diet, others believe it's due to bleeding gums, and still others attribute it to hormonal peaks that cause morning sickness. If you can, suck on a mint or swish lemon water in your mouth to ward off the aftertaste. nine0003
Another joy of early pregnancy is excessive salivation. Sometimes the amount of saliva is produced in such quantity that you have to spit all the time. Fortunately, things rarely go to this extreme. Try drinking water with lemon juice or, if you can, suck on a slice of fresh lemon. You may need to place a towel over your pillow. It is probably worth going to a homeopath, as there are no traditional remedies for this condition. If you haven't noticed any changes in your saliva, you're in luck. nine0003
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 4-13 week
How to deal with nausea at work
In the first trimester, when you feel sick all the time, it can be very difficult to go to work. You will feel better if you have a light snack ready. Make yourself a "first aid kit" and keep it in your desk drawer or in your locker. These can be: apples and bananas, muesli bars in yogurt or chocolate, gingerbread cookies, a bag of mixed nuts, a bag of sour dried fruits, such as prunes or dried pineapple pieces. nine0003
Don't forget to drink: stock up on small packets of juice and keep bottles of water nearby. If you have a machine with drinking water at work, go to it more often - at the same time you will warm up.
If you've tried everything and the nausea still plagues your life, consider taking a week off and just relaxing. You will probably feel noticeably better if you can sleep for a few days and "recharge your batteries."

Harmful professions: working conditions
Your employer has an obligation to minimize any risk in the workplace and must make every effort to ensure that you can work safely during your pregnancy. If your job poses a threat to you and your child, you have the right to request a transfer to another job. To do this, you need to provide the boss or the personnel department with a written statement that you are pregnant. nine0003
The following work conditions do not suit you in your position:
- overtime, shift work, night work, business trips: you have every right to refuse such work. It is prescribed by the Labor Code;
- standing for a long time, heavy lifting: this can lead to miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight;
- the need to sit for a long time on an uncomfortable cramped seat: this can cause problems with blood circulation. You must be provided with a chair with a high back, armrests and height adjustment, as well as a footstool; nine0003
- stepladder work: this can be dangerous, because during pregnancy your center of gravity shifts and you risk falling.
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 7-26 week
Harmful professions: working conditions
Working in a shop or office is not dangerous, but if you work in a laboratory or factory, it can be difficult.
The following working conditions are not suitable for pregnant women:
- shaking and vibration: for example, working on off-road vehicles increases the risk of miscarriage, so it is worth postponing participation in the rally for the time being; nine0003
- heat and cold;
- work with radioactive substances: including in the X-ray room, when welding plastic, when vulcanizing rubber. If you work near sources of radiation, tell your employer that you are pregnant;
- operation under pressure drops: including in air and under water;
- handling biologically active substances or very strong medicines: if you are a nurse or pharmacist who prepares these medicines, or if you are responsible for waste disposal, you should take extra precautions; nine0003
- work in places where there is a danger of carbon monoxide poisoning: these are enclosed spaces in which internal combustion engines are running.
- working with animals: if you have to deal with lambs, you need to take special precautions to avoid infection, which can lead to miscarriage. By law, a pregnant woman must be released from work related to animal husbandry and crop production.
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 7-26 week
Long road to work during pregnancy
The time you spend commuting to and from work is not covered by maternity safety laws, so your employer cannot help you. However, you can try to make traveling a more comfortable and less tiring part of your daily routine:
- find out if you can shift your work hours to avoid rush hour travel, avoid crowds and be able to sit; nine0003
- think about whether you can take work home at least one day a week;
- write an ad at work - suddenly there is an employee who lives in your area and agrees to give you a lift to work and home.
- if you feel sick on public transport, don't take it into your head to endure with gritted teeth: be sure to make it clear that you are pregnant and that you need to sit down.
- always carry water with you, as well as nuts, dried fruits or hard candies - so that you can eat and cope with nausea. nine0003
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 14-26 week
How to deal with heartburn during pregnancy
Pregnancy hormones affect the valve between the esophagus and the stomach, and it closes worse than usual.
Therefore, women feel a burning sensation in the upper part of the stomach. However, if heartburn bothers you a lot and occurs several times a day, there are ways to cope with it:
- eat little and often; nine0003
- eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly;
- during and after eating, sit straight: wait until the food is digested, and only then move;
- avoid fatty foods and any foods that you find difficult to digest;
- do not drink with meals, but between meals.
Usually heartburn is aggravated by carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol, spicy and fatty.
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 5-26 week
Thrush during pregnancy
During pregnancy, the immune system is suppressed and the likelihood of developing thrush increases. This is also affected by changes in the mucous membrane of the vagina and in the secretions. Usually, thrush does not cause any symptoms and only becomes a problem if it is too severe (irritation and itching of the vulva, burning, white cheesy discharge). For many women, thrush appears for the first time during pregnancy. Your doctor will likely prescribe you an antifungal cream or suppositories. However, you can try to cope with thrush without medication:
- eat less sugar;
- use "live" yoghurts - this way you will restore the level of "good" bacteria that will suppress thrush;
- wear cotton underwear;
- try not to wear pantyhose and tight clothes - in them this area overheats and becomes wet, and this is all the thrush needs.
- do not wear panties - tanga and generally tight panties, as they can form tiny abrasions, and if they get an infection, it will be much more difficult to get rid of it. nine0003
Thrush does not harm your child.
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 14-26 week
What is cervical weakness
Sometimes the cervix is very soft and weak. This may be the result of surgery. As the baby grows, the uterus puts pressure on the cervix, and if the cervix is weak, it can lead to premature birth or very late miscarriage. This is called cervical weakness.
Diagnosing cervical weakness is difficult, and many experts feel that this diagnosis is made too often. Usually it is based on the experience of previous pregnancies. If a woman had a miscarriage after 14 weeks, when spontaneous rupture of the membranes or painless opening of the cervix occurred, the cause of this was probably the weakness of the cervix. nine0003
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 1 day - 26 week
Contact lenses during pregnancy
During pregnancy, many women notice that their vision changes. That is why in the antenatal clinic they give a referral to an ophthalmologist.
If you wear glasses, you may not notice a deterioration in vision, but if you wear contact lenses, you may notice that your vision has become worse. This is due to the fact that fluid is retained in the body, the shape of the eyeball changes, so it becomes uncomfortable in the lenses. nine0003
It's wise to switch to lenses that need to be changed frequently so that you can quickly adapt to change without spending extra money.
If your eyes become very dry, you will have to limit the time you wear lenses or go back to glasses for a while.
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 7 month
7th month of pregnancy: weight and back pain
In the last three months you will gain approximately 300-500 grams per week. By the end of the seventh month, the total weight gain will reach 7-11 kg. We can say that now you have become quite clumsy. In late pregnancy, back pain is almost inevitable. Their cause is an increased level of the hormone relaxin, which relaxes all the ligaments and muscles, preparing them for childbirth. The action of relaxin is diverse. By loosening the muscles and ligaments of the pelvis, it changes the way a pregnant woman walks, making you waddle like a duck. Relaxing the muscular wall of the veins, relaxin leads to an increase in their varicose veins, the muscular sphincter of the esophagus - to the appearance of heartburn, and the muscles of the bladder - to the appearance of urinary incontinence. In order not to hurt your back, it is important to monitor your posture. Some happy women may not experience any discomfort, but this does not mean that their body is not preparing for the birth of a child. It all depends on various factors, including heredity and the level of physical fitness. nine0003
Toxicosis and other difficulties of pregnancy, 1 day - 30 week
Linking gum disease to preterm birth
It seems incredible that gum disease is associated with the risk of preterm birth, but any infection during pregnancy increases the risk of having a premature or low birth weight baby. If you take care of your teeth poorly, plaque accumulates on them, in which bacteria multiply. In very advanced cases, the toxins from these bacteria enter the bloodstream. These toxins cross the placenta and can affect the growth and development of the baby. In addition, the bacteria secrete a hormone-like chemical compound, prostaglandin, which induces preterm labor. nine0003
During pregnancy, you should definitely visit a dentist and inform the doctor about your situation.

rest more
Very often in the first trimester, the expectant mother feels weakness, drowsiness, she wants to lie down to rest, and sometimes she simply does not even have the strength to move. This, of course, is not toxicosis, but if such sensations arise, then they must be indulged so as not to inadvertently provoke another attack of nausea. Get plenty of rest and do not make any sudden movements, because even if you just fail to get up from a chair, you can provoke an attack of nausea. nine0003
Sleep with the windows open: the air in the bedroom should be fresh and cool. Go to bed on time, do not sit at midnight in front of the TV or at the computer, eliminate all irritating factors: an uncomfortable mattress, blanket, pillow, hard bedding - lack of sleep can respond with morning sickness.
Eat right
Eat fractionally, 5-6 times a day, or even more often, and always in small portions. When you wake up, don't get out of bed right away. One of the most effective methods against toxicosis is breakfast in bed. In the evening, put crackers, yogurt, or any product that you can tolerate well next to your bed. Eat it before you get up, and then lie down for a while. Most likely, morning sickness will either not appear at all, or will be very weak. nine0003
Usually, in case of toxicosis, it is not recommended to eat fatty, smoked, salty, pickled, drink soda (the usual set of food hazards). But it is likely that some not very healthy product will now be well tolerated, and something from healthy food, on the contrary, will cause nausea. "Pregnant whims" - a cake with herring or pineapples at night - these are the requests of the body that it needs one or another component in food. For example, the desire to chew chalk is a sign of calcium deficiency. So eat what you like and what you want, within reason, of course. And if you don’t feel like something, even if this product is extremely useful and necessary, don’t eat it. If you feel sick from some dish, it means that the body signals you: I don’t need this now! nine0003
drink more often
Toxicosis may not be limited to nausea, some may also vomit. This means fluid is lost. Therefore, between meals, drink more often: a sip or two of mineral water or tea with lemon will help to cope with nausea and replenish lost fluids. But drink in small sips. Also, you should not drink food and you should give up soups for a while - a large amount of food drunk and eaten, on the contrary, only provokes nausea and vomiting.
breathe fresh air
Outdoor walks are good for everyone, but especially for toxicosis. Firstly, when walking, the blood of the expectant mother and baby is saturated with oxygen, which is very important for health, and secondly, walking calms the nervous system. Together, this helps to reduce the unpleasant symptoms of toxicosis. You need to walk at least two hours a day - but not just along the street, but in the place where the air is really fresh: in the forest, park, square, and best of all outside the city. Before you go out, think over the route: go away from gas-polluted highways, street cafes, food stalls and other "fragrant" places. nine0003
exclude fragrances
Taste and smell preferences change during the first trimester. Now even your favorite perfumes can cause nausea, headaches and allergic reactions. Therefore, put away all fragrant cosmetics that irritate you: perfumes, deodorants, creams, and so on. You will have to stop using your favorite perfume for both your husband and loved ones. Explain to others that this is not a whim, but a temporary measure, very soon everything will return to normal. nine0003
And do not worry that now you will be left without your usual beauty products. Both the cosmetic store and the pharmacy are full of different creams, tonics, shampoos without fragrance or with a minimal smell.
work with yourself
Psychologists believe that the cause of toxicosis is not only in hormonal changes, but also in the psychological state of a woman. The more a woman experiences, the more anxieties and fears she has, the more pronounced toxicosis can be. Ideally, it is better to limit yourself during pregnancy from any stress. Of course, it’s not always possible to eliminate nervous work or crowding in public transport, but watch less TV, don’t read negative news and various pregnant “horror stories” on the Internet, and don’t react to minor or even major everyday troubles everyone can do. Therefore, if you are worried about toxicosis, create your own comfortable world during pregnancy. If you can’t cope on your own, contact a specialist (psychologist). Toxicosis is really well treated with psychotherapy. The main thing is that the expectant mother should want to get rid of her own anxiety. nine0003
No matter how unpleasant toxicosis is, it does not last forever. It is necessary to suffer until the beginning or (less often) the middle of the II trimester. And very soon all the unpleasant symptoms of toxicosis will remain in the past!
