If nausea occurs, it occurs mainly in the first trimester and disappears by the end of the third trimester at the latest. They are caused by large amounts of the beta HCG hormone (chorionic gonadotropin) circulating in the blood from conception onwards. Here are some tips to avoid nausea naturally.
Everything from mild nausea to vomiting is possible. In any case, beware of weight loss caused by repeated vomiting. The effects of this hormonal tornado affect the stomach in particular: it contracts under hormonal impulses, which explains why nausea subsides as soon as you eat something. They are exacerbated by vitamin B6 deficiency and low blood sugar.
If possible, make sure your transits are working properly (1 to 3 stools per day, fairly dark in color and firm in shape) before pregnancy. If not, a digestive issue may be involved. Bloating and gas are also signs. Before pregnancy, it is advisable to plan a liver cleansing treatment (eg by treating vegetables and/or plants such as artichoke, black radish, rosemary, etc.) to prepare for the hormonal surge of pregnancy. It is recommended to clean up the digestive function to ensure a safe pregnancy.
During pregnancy, make sure you are not constipated and remember to drink enough water (1.5 to 2 liters per day). When waking up in the morning, avoid sudden movements. You can drink an unsweetened squeezed lemon and water to cool down, or take a few raisins to eat, and then step on the ground and wait a few minutes before getting up. Enjoy a good meal in bed in the morning if you can.
