Nausea is common in pregnancy and can be more often seen in early stages of pregnancy. However in some cases nausea continues up to the starting of 7th month.
My wife, Rubina who is 7 months pregnant has had to face this right from the start but thank GOD, we found out a solution to this. Initially, when her pregnancy started, she would vomit out everything she ate and we could see her losing weight instead of gaining.
We were a little apprehensive until we spoke with the doctor to clear our doubts.
Nausea can be controlled through diet. It is recommended that during pregnancy a lady should consume between 80 grams to 100 grams of protein everyday. Apart from this she should not eat too much of oily and junk food.
It sounds a little strange but its true that proteins is the answer to nausea during pregnancy. You will notice once you have a protein rich diet, your throwing up will almost vanish.
I must say this is the most important pregnancy tip as this not only helps you control nausea but also is good for the baby.
In pregnancy, every woman experiences hormonal changes. Because of this, she may get nauseated and as a result may cut her food which is not wisdom.
It would be wise of her if she could make her diet protein rich by adding, chicken, cow milk, soybeans, cheese cottage, egg white etc, in her diet schedule.
- Some of the common sources to protein are
- Egg white- Generally contains 4 gram per egg.
- Cow Milk- 8 grams per cup
- Chicken or Turkey- approximately 40 grams per cup
- Fish- 30-35 grams fillet
- Pork and Beef – approximately 25 grams per 3 oz
- Cottage Cheese- 30 grams per cup
- Couscous- approximately 20 grams per cup
- Soybeans- approximately 30 grams per cup
- Long grain white rice- 13 grams per cup
- Baked Beans- approximately 15 grams per cup
- Lima Beans- 10 grams plus per cup
- Trail Mix- 20 grams per cup
- Yogurt- approximately 10 grams per cup
Keeping trail mix, almonds and peanuts with you will always be good and if you feel nauseated and have to vomit, eating a handful of nuts would level up things for you.
It s always good if you can get your desired protein from the food as well but if you can’t get that try some protein powder but I would suggest not to have too much of protein powder during pregnancy. Protein from natural source will always be better.
Vegetarians might have to give up on taste a little bit but I guess doing that much for nine months in exchange of a healthy baby won’t at all be a bad deal.
