Morning Sickness Myths
Many women look forward to having a baby but then, one day they wake up and find themselves dealing with morning
sickness. Unfortunately, many women also mistakenly believe that their body is fighting against their baby or that
for some reason they just do not feel as they should. But the good news is that most of the bad things that you
hear about morning sickness really are false pieces of information. That should bring a smile to your face.
Common Myths Explained
Here are some of the most common myths that people face when it comes to morning sickness.
• Morning sickness will lead to a miscarriage. This is a definite myth. In fact, some researchers who have
done extensive studies have determined that those women that do experience morning sickness are actually less
likely to actually miscarry their baby. In addition, many have found that those that deal with morning sickness at
some time in their pregnancy also have full term babies. Pre term birth rates are lower for moms that have morning
sickness.
• Vomiting so much will hurt the baby. This is another myth that many women mistakenly believe. While it may
make you feel awful, your baby is completely safe inside you even when you are throwing up for the fourth time
today. In fact, doctors have discovered that those women that do have morning sickness may even be helping to
support the growth of the placenta. The placenta is the lifeline, so to speak, of the baby inside of
you.
• All this throwing up is going to cause my baby not to get the nutrients that he needs. This is false as
well, for the most part. If you are vomiting quite a bit, you can dehydrate yourself. In addition you should be
taking care of yourself and eating a well balanced diet. You more than likely are taking prenatal vitamins as well.
Even when these things fall into line, you may still be worried about your morning sickness. The fact is, though,
that more women that experience morning sickness will actually have fewer babies with low birth weight.
All of these things show you just why morning sickness is not the end of the world. Studies have shown that as many
as 90% of mothers that are pregnant will have some form of morning sickness or another. The good news is that this
can help your baby to do better while he is getting ready to enter your world.
