Nausea Late Pregnancy Information
While it is common knowledge that most women suffer from morning sickness in the beginning of their pregnancy, it is not so well known that they can also suffer from nausea in late pregnancy as well. For some, it is a continuation from early pregnancy but for others it may be the first time they feel the symptomatic nausea and vomiting.
Actually, nausea is quite common in the last trimester. This can be due to the hormonal changes as in the first three months or it may be due to stress. Another cause can be that the baby is getting bigger and taking up more room. As a result, the uterus presses up against the stomach and the stomach has less room to expand. Heartburn with or without nausea is often the result.
As nausea is often felt after eating, it helps to eat smaller amounts more often rather than two or three bigger meals. This can also help if fluctuating hormones are responsible as queasiness is usually worse on an empty stomach.
The home remedies that work for first trimester nausea are also effective for third trimester morning sickness. Ginger, motion sickness bracelets, bland foods and preggie pops are popular therapies and you may find they work for you. The problem may be in your diet – foods that you tolerated or even craved for the first six months may be the reason that you feel sick in the last three months.
Should you be worried about nausea in late pregnancy? Anything that causes you unease should be discussed with your doctor. However, if you experience severe stomach pain or vomiting or find that you cannot keep any food down at all, then you should definitely see your doctor. It may be that something else is to blame for your feeling this way like a virus; in which case it needs to be treated separately.
All through your pregnancy, it's important to drink lots of water but this is even more the case if you throw up regularly. If you become dehydrated in late pregnancy then this could cause serious problems such as premature labor, constipation, fatigue, cramps and swelling. Don't wait until you feel thirst to drink as this means dehydration has already set in. Aim to drink at least 10 to 12 cups of water during the day; and even more if it is very hot or you have been exercising.
