There are several remedies for seasickness in pregnancy, however, those that are not natural can only be used under the recommendation of the obstetrician, as many of them are not to be used during pregnancy due to the risks for the pregnant and the baby.
Thus, it is only justified to take these remedies in cases where the benefits outweigh the risks, such as in situations where the pregnant woman feels a lot of discomfort, or even in situations of hyperemesis gravidarum.
1. Pharmacy remedies
The drugs available at the pharmacy that are most used to alleviate nausea and vomiting in pregnancy are Dramin, Dramin B6 and Meclin, which despite being subject to a prescription and can only be taken if the obstetrician advises, are the ones who have less side effects for pregnant.
In addition, in some cases, the doctor may also advise Plasil, which should only be used if the benefits outweigh the risks.
2. Food supplements
There are also food supplements that have ginger in their composition which also helps to reduce nausea and vomiting. The ginger supplements that can be used are ginger capsules from Biovea or Solgar, for example that can be taken one to three times a day.
In addition, ginger is also available in powder and tea, however, it is not as effective as capsules. Here's how to make ginger tea.
3. Home remedies
A pregnant woman who chooses a home remedy, a good option is to suck a lemon popsicle. To do this, just make a lemonade with 3 lemons for 1 liter of water and sweeten to taste, placing in the proper forms of popsicle in the freezer. However, the less sugar the popsicle has, the more effective it will be in helping to combat motion sickness in pregnancy.
The daily consumption of certain magnesium-rich foods, such as black beans, chickpeas, olives, zucchini, pumpkin seeds, tofu or low-fat yogurt also help to reduce episodes of nausea in pregnancy, as magnesium decreases muscle contraction. See more home remedies for seasickness in pregnancy
