      A small number of pregnant women have particularly severe reactions, with persistent vomiting and even the inability to eat or drink, which is called hyperemesis gravidarum. In addition to food, the vomitus also contains mucus foam, and may also contain bile or bloody substances. Pregnant women are in a state of dehydration due to frequent vomiting. If the condition continues to worsen, serious symptoms such as convulsions, coma, jaundice, and even death will occur.

      If the above situation occurs, you need to go to Hospital Seek medical attention promptly.

      Tips to prevent vomiting

      1. Take a moderate nap and rest. Fatigue is a very important cause of morning sickness. So no matter what time, try not to let yourself get too tired.

      2. Get up slowly. Don't sit up suddenly or get off the ground directly. Instead, slowly raise your head, stand up, and get off the ground. This can prevent dizziness and nausea caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain and prevent falls.

      3. Eat some crackers or cereal before getting up. It’s not a bad idea to take advantage of your pregnancy to enjoy the romance of breakfast in bed.

      4. After eating, it is best to rest in bed for half an hour to reduce vomiting symptoms. 》》》 Suitable for pregnant women5sexual intercourse position
