20 weeks pregnant, still morning sickness. My husband doesn't understand. I think I'm being melodramatic. What should I do?

Tell him that morning sickness varies from person to person and can't be ignored during morning sickness. Let him look at the following popular science and let him know about women's morning sickness.

1, the physical quality of pregnant mothers

Usually pregnant mothers will have a strong pregnancy reaction around 8~ 10 weeks of pregnancy. This is because the levels of chorionic gonadotropin and estrogen in pregnant women are rising. At this time, there will be a variety of pregnancy reactions in the body, such as fatigue, lethargy, low fever, vomiting and so on. And morning sickness is just one of them.

If there is no morning sickness, or the reaction is not so intense, it is probably because the pregnant mother has a better constitution and can adapt to this change. Some pregnant mothers with poor constitution are more susceptible to hormone levels, and the morning sickness reaction is more obvious. So it's not unreasonable for your husband to say that you are melodramatic.

2. Fetal development speed

The degree of pregnancy reaction of pregnant mothers is influenced by hormones, and the speed of baby development will affect the hormone level in mothers. If the baby develops rapidly, it will promote the secretion of estrogen in the pregnant mother.

Estrogen in pregnant mothers will make her taste more sensitive and have a special reaction to certain smells, so some pregnant mothers want to vomit when they smell greasy. In addition, the placenta will secrete a lot of chorionic gonadotropin, which will inhibit the gastric acid of pregnant mothers and lead to poor appetite. So, let your husband clean up all these pungent smells.

3. The stronger the morning sickness, the better the fetal development.

Studies abroad show that women have obvious morning sickness during pregnancy, and their children's intelligence level and various abilities will be better, because pregnant mothers will secrete some hormones that can promote their children's brain development during this period, so the stronger the pregnancy reaction during pregnancy, the smarter the children will be.

However, domestic experts say that pregnancy reaction has little effect on fetal intelligence, but if the pregnancy reaction is too strong, it will have adverse effects on the fetus, and in severe cases, it will cause maternal dehydration, ketosis and other symptoms. Therefore, if morning sickness is too strong, pregnant mothers must remind their husbands to take themselves to the hospital in time.

The morning sickness is very severe, and the following measures can be taken:

1, ask your husband to prepare a small amount of meals for you, avoid fasting and eat light, dry and high-protein food.

2. Try to avoid contact with the smell, food or additives that are easy to vomit, and don't eat too salty and greasy food. Cookies, bread and soda cakes can relieve the discomfort of morning sickness. Drink water for an hour after eating dry snacks.

3. Ask your husband to buy more vegetables for you to eat, help replenish electrolytes and trace elements in the body, and improve the symptoms of morning sickness.

4. Let the husband keep the indoor air fresh, often open the window to breathe, and go to places with bad smell less.

5. Ask your husband to buy vitamin B6 for you, because taking a small dose of vitamin B6 can relieve morning sickness. If hyperemesis gravidarum needs intravenous rehydration in hospital, the daily urine volume is >; 1000ml, supplemented with vitamin B6, vitamin C, potassium chloride, etc.

I'm still vomiting after 20 weeks of pregnancy, which means I'm really in poor health. Your husband should give you better care instead of complaining and not understanding you.
