Morning Sickness

You’d expect morning sickness to strike in the morning. Well, women in family way do get nauseous before getting out of bed in the morning, but this sickness can occur any time of the day or night. So, you’ve to be ready for it at all times. And, naturally, it affects your quality of life, as you can’t act normal in office and are scared of social gatherings for fear that you throw up. The result? Anxiety and depression.

The cause of morning sickness is not clear. However, it has to do something with the hormonal changes, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, nutritional deficiencies, altered metabolism and the interplay of physical and chemical changes brought about by pregnancy. Although mild nausea and vomiting can be endured, severe morning sickness symptoms that dehydrate and rob your body of essential nutrients require medical help.
