Calm Mom, Do Not Panic!
From some sources say that morning sickness is the name for the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, because usually most pregnant women experience it in the morning, but some experience it throughout the day or at night. Symptoms of nausea and vomiting usually lasts from 6 weeks gestation, and will end up to 12-13 weeks. Usually these symptoms will diminish and eventually disappear at the end of trimester one, or most frequently occurs when the pregnancy before the age of two to three months. According to Professor Sherman, the term morning sickness is not very suitable. Morning sickness is a mechanism to protect the mother and fetus, and morning sickness does not always happen in the morning, but it can happen anytime.
Two American biologist, Samuel M Flaxman and Paul W. Sherman said "Morning sickness is a positive thing for the mother and her unborn baby because it can protect the baby and the mother of a disease that can affect the baby's development." According to the study, while the facts revealed are:
Among all pregnant women who experience morning sickness, symptoms occurs in pregnancy when the embryo reaches the stage of organogenesis (development of organs) that when the pregnancy reaches 6 to 18 weeks.
Most women who experience morning sickness have a relatively small number have birth defects in their babies. Women who experienced vomiting during pregnancy have smaller numbers in terms of birth defects in their babies, compared to women who only experience nausea during pregnancy.
Another fact that was revealed is the reluctance of pregnant women to eat certain foods occurs when entering the third month of gestation. And based on the results of the study, most pregnant women avoid foods such as eggs, chicken or other poultry and fish type. In all this food is stuck harmful microorganisms and parasites. Other than that the food was also avoided by pregnant women are foods that have a strong scent such as those containing caffeine and alcohol.
Also added by Professor Sherman, an analysis of the research he conducted on pregnant women who experience morning sickness are avoidance of certain foods is because the body's shape to protect the health of the mother when the immune system is naturally suppressed by the baby growing in her womb. if the mother was vomiting and nausea, it will protect the baby from toxins, which, when entered into the body of the mother, will cause birth defects in children, such as organ development is not perfect, because at the age of 2 to 3 months, there will be fetal growth and development. In this stage, the fetus will form the organs of the body such as the hands, eyes, feet, and others.
So, after knowing about these mums do not have to worry anymore. Just keep in mind what to do and at the same time avoided when experiencing morning sickness.
