Will I have morning sickness?
 
Many women fear the idea of morning sickness during their pregnancy.  They are afraid that they will be deathly ill and unable to function.  And worst of all, they’re certain that every pregnancy has morning sickness and there’s nothing you can do to avoid it.  But thankfully, there is hope.
The truth of the matter is that many women will get some form of morning sickness during their pregnancy, usually during the first few months, but it can also extend throughout the weeks.  Morning sickness can also happen at any time of day, contrary to the name.  The morning sickness is actually a sign that your hormones are increasing, which is good.  These symptoms of nausea and vomiting are actually telling you that your body is changing in a healthy manner.
What happens in many women is that their blood sugar levels drop too low (because of the changes in the hormones) and this causes the nausea and vomiting, usually in the morning because of the extended period of not eating.  To combat this, some women find that when they eat some crackers before getting out of bed, they feel much less sick or are free of symptoms.  By trying to eat at regular intervals, the body can keep its blood sugar from crashing too low.  Try to eat a snack before you go to bed as well to help.
In terms of medications, a doctor will generally only prescribe something to stop the vomiting if it’s starting to affect the health of the baby.  If you’re unable to gain weight or you can’t keep anything down, you will want to see your doctor to make sure that there’s not something else that may be wrong with you.
In most cases, you’ll feel ill for a few weeks, but then the feelings will diminish by the second trimester.  However, once you see your new baby, you might have troubles remembering that you were sick at all.
