BEA ROWELL: Hi, my name is Bea. I'm a midwife here at Labor of Love Birth Center in the Tampa area. We practice natural birthing for low-risk pregnancy moms. I'm here today to talk to you about how to prevent and how to help yourself if you're experiencing a lot of pregnancy nausea. Pregnancy nausea is related to the increasing levels of hormones that you have going on in pregnancy. It's related to low blood sugar levels and also to emotions and stress. It's important to remember to keep eating. It's probably the last thing you're going to want to do but you have to keep those blood sugar levels up. So even if you feel that you're going to be sick afterwards, still try taking some food. Also it's important to remember is hydration. You must keep your fluid levels up. And if you are being sick a lot, try drinking some of the electrolyte-replenishing fluids that are in the markets and the pharmacies. Exercise is another good thing. Exercise is going to keep toxins and hormones flowing around your body through your liver and out of your system, and that's going to help with your nausea. Another thing that you could try is acupressure bands. They're sold under the brand name Sea-Bands, and you can find them at most pharmacies and outlet stores. The most important thing you have to remember is keep eating, keep drinking and trying rest and exercise and good comparison.
