Mapping out a plan for handling morning sickness is crucial to a pregnant Mom’s survival. After all, a busy mom has only so much time, and if a good chunk of that time is spent caressing the porcelain bowl, it can be very inconvenient. Morning sickness often happens in the morning when a pregnant woman’s blood sugar is at a low level due to not eating during the night. Hence the name, morning sickness.

It can strike at any time, day or night. For the lucky, it’s a mild irritation. For the rest of us gals, it brings us to our knees. It’s the first foe we face in pregnancy, morning sickness.
Most doctors (but no mothers) see morning sickness as a good thing. It is caused by an increase in estrogen and other hormonal changes that are present in a healthy pregnancy. For some women these changes cause nausea and vomiting. Morning sickness usually lasts from about the 6th to 12th week of pregnancy, but for some can go on longer.
Though there are some medications your doctor can prescribe for morning sickness, most recommend using natural remedies because your baby is very vulnerable during the first trimester.

Sharing the good news with family and friends is one of the most enjoyable parts about pregnancy. My brother called me at work minutes after his wife took a positive pregnancy test when they were expecting their first child. He couldn’t wait to tell someone. My neighbor Tina, on the other hand, didn’t start spreading her pregnancy news abroad until she was seven months along — and could no longer hide the bulge.
There is no right when or how, to share the news. Some people like to wait until after the first trimester when they’ve already seen their doctor and there is less chance of miscarriage. If becoming pregnant is going to keep you from regular activities, such as a job that requires lots of heavy lifting, or exposure to strong chemicals, you’ll want to let those involved know right away.
