Morning Sickness During Pregnancy
Morning sickness can be one of your first signs that you are pregnant. This doesn’t always mean that you’ll get sick only in the morning. This can happen, morning, noon or night. It will normally occur in the first trimester or your pregnancy and end by the second, this isn’t the case in all pregnancies though. Some women will continue with it until the very end of term.
Nausea can happen immediately or you may get lucky and have no morning sickness at all. No one is for certain what causes morning sickness, it is a change in the body that happens during pregnancy. Many women seem to get sick after taking the prenatal pill, try taking it later in the day. Your doctor may even advise you to take some other form of vitamin instead of the pill. Always find out first with your doctor before taking anything new or taking yourself off medication, even prenatal pills.
There are a few ways to minimize the sickness, but they don’t work for everyone. Try keeping crackers on hand, I prefer saltines for some reason. Try drinking some ginger ale, it calms the stomach down. Dry cereal is another good thing to eat, your stomach may just be a little bit hungry and trying to tell you. Remember to take small portions, this way you know if it is all going to come up or not. Sleeping is another good way to avoid it, however it will wake you up. Keep yourself hydrated, not only can this make your sickness come but you can become dehydrated and need to go to the emergency room if you aren’t careful.
Smells is another thing that seems to cause morning sickness. Imagine walking into a restaurant and the first thing you smell is grease. Yes, this can easily set it off. Bad smells and even certain tastes, get the feel for your body during the pregnancy and figure out just what sets it off. Knowing how to avoid it, can make a world of difference.
A few reasons you should go to your doctor would be if you begin losing weight because you are constantly sick. If you become dehydrated, faint, look pale, confused or throw up more than four times in a day. Your doctor may be able to prescribe something that will stop it.
Try slowing down a bit, sometimes your body is just exhausted from all the errands you are running and it tries to give you a break. Listen to your body, take a nap, relax and watch a television show…take some time off. If you are looking for remedies for your morning sickness, you may try buying some pregnancy pops. Or if you’d prefer to stay away from the sweets you can wear a bracelet designed to stop morning sickness, they are just like the motion sickness bracelets. They don’t work for everyone but they could work for you.
Vegetarian Christmas: Remembering the Reasons for a Vegetarian Season
Christmas is a season of peace, love and
harmony. It’s a time that brings
families and friends together to reconnect and find comfort and happiness being
together. It’s also about respect for
fellow man, appreciating and embracing one another’s differences.
Take some
time over the holiday season to reflect on the reasons for your choice to
become vegetarian, and enforce your commitment and dedication to the vegetarian
lifestyle. What reason, or reasons,
helped you decide that vegetarianism was the right choice for you?
Was it Economic? A meat-based diet can be
very expensive. Fresh produce bought in
season can be very affordable, and can be prepared (dried, canned, frozen) so
that it can be enjoyed later in the season.
Was it Ethical? Did you choose not to eat
meat because of the meat processing techniques are incredibly cruel to animals?
Do some research on the internet or the library, visit the PETA website, and
you’re very likely to find more credible reasoning that affirms your choice.
Was it Environmental? A vegetarian
lifestyle is more environmentally friendly – large ranching operations cause
topsoil erosion, coyotes and other natural predators are destroyed routinely to
protect herds of cows which are only slaughtered anyway later on, and
commercial fishing operations are damaging the ocean’s ecosystems.
Was it to Improve Your Health? Eating a
vegetarian diet has been shown to be a very healthy lifestyle, as it helps
fight heart disease, reduces cancer risks, lowers cholesterol, helps lower
blood sugar and reverse the effects of diabetes, lowers the obesity risk, and
reduces the risk of osteoporosis, as meat consumption has been shown to promote
bone loss.
And remember: just because it’s Christmas,
it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy many of the same wonderful holiday treats
you’ve become accustomed to, as long as they are prepared with your vegetarian
lifestyle in mind. Breads, cookies prepared with vegetable shortening, egg
substitutes,
whole grain flours and soymilks, numerous choices for vegetable
dishes and salads can all be enjoyed by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians
alike during the holiday!
So remember the reason for the season, reaffirm your
reasoning for your life choice, and be proud of it, and of yourself.
