What to Do About Morning Sickness? Expectant mothers needn't worry excessively—this is a normal reaction after conception. However, if nausea interferes with daily life, try scientifically proven relief methods. Here, we recommend soothing soups to ease morning sickness. Let's learn a couple of recipes together.Typically starting around week 5 of pregnancy (though it can begin earlier), morning sickness may occur. Nausea often peaks in the morning and evening, with vomiting happening without apparent cause. Why does morning sickness happen? It's a natural physiological response that generally doesn't significantly impact daily life or work. Moreover, these early pregnancy symptoms are signals from the baby to the mother—the beginning of a joyful journey for every mom.
Next, let's explore dietary approaches to alleviate morning sickness.
How to Manage Pregnancy Nausea
Black Plum and Ginger Decoction: Combine 10g each of black plum pulp and ginger with an appropriate amount of brown sugar in 200ml of water. Simmer into a decoction. Take approximately 100ml twice daily. Black plums are warm in nature and sour in taste, helping to soothe the lungs, relieve coughing, generate fluids to quench thirst, and firm the bowels to stop diarrhea.This remedy harmonizes the stomach, stops vomiting, and quenches thirst, making it suitable for pregnancy-related nausea caused by liver-stomach disharmony. Additionally, black plum is a proven anti-aging food rich in vitamin B2, potassium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and organic acids that can kill pathogens like fungi invading the gastrointestinal tract.
Egg and Ginger Soup: 2 eggs, fresh ginger shreds to taste, a pinch of salt. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, stir-fry ginger shreds until fragrant, then remove. Reheat the pan with another tablespoon oil, crack eggs into the pan. Cook over low heat until partially set, add ginger shreds, sprinkle salt, fold into a half-moon shape, and fry until golden on both sides before serving.Ginger benefits the spleen and stomach while dispelling wind-cold, while eggs nourish yin, moisturize dryness, and enrich blood. This remedy thus warms the stomach and dispels wind, rich in protein for nutritional supplementation.
