What Causes Severe Nausea During 18th Week Of Pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
Nausea can persist in some.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Normally, nausea subsides at the end of the first trimester.
Sometimes, in some women as the uterus grows and enlarges in size, it puts pressure on the stomach and other organs, leading to acidity and nausea again.
SO yes, do not worry, it is normal for some pregnant women to experience this, continuing till right upto the end of term in the third trimester.
Simple remedies will help you -
1. Eat home made, fresh, bland food. Avoid spicy, oily , greasy, fried or stale food. Avoid eating outside.
2. Instead of 2 big meals, have 5 - 6 spaced out meals.
3. Take lots of water, buttermilk, coconut water, nimbu pani etc,
4. You can take Sinate - OD tablet, this is needed just once a day, early in the morning, it will help your nausea.
5. You can take Pantop - D tablet twice a day to combat the acidity.
6. Before sleeping, take a glass of chilled milk at night.
7. Sleep with pillows propping up your head at night.
8. After any meal, avoid lying down or sleeping for atleast 2 hours.
9. Avoid stress or worrying, as it compounds the acidity.
10. You can add simple items like lemon,cinnamom, ketchup to your food instead of chillies and spices to alter the taste and improve your nausea.
11. Appetite varies during various pregnancy stages. As long as the baby weight is fine on ultrasound, you do not have to worry about your appetite. Substitute fluids like soups and juices if you cannot eat much solid food.
12. Take regular iron, calcium and protein supplements.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
