Morning Sickness, what to do? Eat a diet high in protein and complex carbohydrates, both of which fight nausea. Take plenty of fluids, especially if you’re losing them through vomiting. If they are easier to get down than solids when your stomach is upset, use them to get your nutrients. Take a prenatal vitamin supplement but take it at a time of day when you are least likely to chuck it back up-possibly before you go to bed. Avoid the sight, smell, and taste of foods that make you sick. Eat often and before you feel hungry. Six small meals are better than three large. Get some extra sleep and relaxation. Brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after each bout of vomiting as well as after each meal.

Frequent Urination, what to do? Leaning forward when you urinate will help ensure that you empty your bladder completely and may reduce trips to the bathroom. If you find you go frequently during the night, try limiting fluids after 4 p.m. Don’t, however, limit fluids otherwise.

Parenting News: Bratz

My girls have a couple of the bratz dolls. I see no big deal about them at all. I know my girls do not dress like them. Most of the young girls I see around the area who play with these dolls do not dress that way either. I guess if the kids are brought up to understand that it is just a doll it makes a difference.

Excessive saliva, what to do? There’s no sure cure, but brushing your teeth frequently with a minty toothpaste, rinsing with a minty mouthwash or chewing gum can help dry things up a bit.

Fatigue, what to do? Baby yourself: Take a nap, watch the TV or read a good book if you can’t sleep. Let others baby you: Accept relative’s offer to vacuum and dust the house when they’re visiting. Let your dad take the older kids to the zoo on Saturday. Enlist your sister or aunt for chores like laundry and marketing. Ask your hubby gives you a nice massage on your feet (my hubby Jean always was willing to do it) *smile*. Be sure that your diet isn’t deficient: Double check to make sure you’re filling all of your requirements. Check your environment: Inadequate lighting, poor air quality or excessive noise in your home or workplace can contribute to fatigue.

Trouble Sleeping, what to do? Get enough exercise: A body that gets a workout by day will be a sleepier body at night. Set a leisurely pace at dinner: Don’t gobble your meals on a television tray, partake at the table, with your spouse and a healthy helping of relaxing conversation. Develop a bedtime routine and stick with it: After dinner, maintain the easy pace, focusing on activities that relax you. Indulge in light reading or television, soothing music, relaxation exercises, a warmth bath, a back rub or a head rub from your hubby can help a lot!.
