Why Do We Feel This Way?
• Unfortunately the exact cause of morning sickness is unknown.
• It may be caused by hormone changes or low blood sugar during early pregnancy
• Emotional stress, fatigue, traveling, or certain foods can make the problem worse depending on the individual.
• Nausea during pregnancy is more common and can be worse with twins, triplets, etc.

What We Know…
• You are not alone! Nausea and vomiting are very common, affecting an estimated 75% of women during their first trimester of pregnancy.
• Vomiting can lead to dehydration, and if left untreated can lower the babies birth weight.
• Experiencing nausea and vomiting can makes it difficult to ingest the amount of nutrients needed for women and their unborn fetuses to thrive.

Tips to Prevent Nausea and Vomiting Tip #1
1. Eat small meals every 2 hours through out the day
• Having food in your stomach will lower your chances of experiencing nausea.
• When the stomach is empty, the acids have nothing to work on, except for the stomach lining, resulting in worsening nausea
*Keep crackers, peanut butter, or other protein snacks you like by your bed to eat throughout the night

Tip #22. Focus on eating low-fat, high carb foods, and low-fat dairy products.• These foods typically digest faster
and easier than foods high in fat and low in carbs.

Tip #44. Drink at least 64 fluid ounces of water per day• Helps prevent an empty stomach
