Alleviating
4 Common Pregnancy Discomforts
Morning
Sickness
Relief: As soon as you awaken, eat something. During the day
have small, frequent carbohydrate snacks such as fruit or
crackers, and avoid hunger.
Heartburn
Relief: Avoiding certain foods such as fried, high in fat
or highly processed food including hot dogs, salami, sausage
and bacon. Stay away from marbled cuts of beef and pork like
rib steak and spare ribs. Heavy creams, carbonated soft drinks,
coffee and alcohol will contribute to heartburn as well. Make
sure you wear clothes that have ample room at the waste, and
sleep propped up.
Swelling
Relief: You don’t want to eliminate salt from your diet
all together, but you will need to avoid high salt foods.
It’s best if you talk to your physician about water
retention relief.
Leg
Cramps
Relief: Always consult your doctor, but sometimes increasing
the intake of calcium and potassium will help. You can always
elevate your legs and apply a heating pad to alleviate some
of the leg discomfort.
