Pregnancy News Update: Does Morning Sickness Mean Healthy Pregnancy?

Morning sickness, as what the domestic society calls it, is one of the tell-tale signs that commence on the first three months of pregnancy. Contrary to how everyone calls it, the queasiness is not only felt in the early part of the day. Although deemed unfavorably, evidence links morning sickness to healthy pregnancy.

Pregnancy is both a life-changing and metamorphic experience. Humongous changes begin to manifest psychologically, emotionally and eventually, physically. Morning sickness has been regarded as a mere indication of being with child.

Dr. Van Dalton of St. Anthony's Medical Center in Fenton cites two theories on how morning sickness could be beneficial to the expectant mother, CBS Local reports. These theories highlight that experiencing lightheadedness means the placenta is capable and that it results to a better dietary program.

Food intake during this stage of pregnancy should be cautiously considered. Quick and healthy fixes has been discovered such as avoiding fatty food, drinking lots of fluid, trying aromatherapy and consuming a high-protein plus complex carbohydrate diet.

NBC news featured another study, led by Stefanie Hinkle from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The Institute has learned that nausea and vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy means a lower risk of miscarriage.

The staff scientist and her team observed a group of women with prior miscarriage and found that eighty percent underwent morning sickness on their second month of pregnancy. Most importantly, they found that fifty to seventy-five percent of these women are less likely to have another miscarriage.

The same research has also been featured in The Daily Mail. The same group of almost eight hundred women, who were aged twenty-nine in average, recorded their morning sickness experience through questionnaires and diaries. The researchers noticed that women from age twenty-five and under were likely to suffer dizziness.

Although nobody in history ever enjoyed morning sickness, this research clearly suggests that it is something mothers should be thankful for. It is nature's way of making sure a healthy way is paved for the long-awaited baby.
