The Benefits of Morning Sickness For Expecting Mothers
Everyone knows that being sick is not fun at all. Being sick while pregnant is a royal pain. This sickness isn't like a 24 hour flu bug that will just go away after a while. This sickness sometimes called morning sickness will linger and control your life for months! It is a royal pain and a justified reason for many women and potential mothers to be fearful of ever being pregnant.
There is a good news about getting morning sickness while you are pregnant. First of all, not every woman gets it and often many will have their entire pregnancy without severe morning sickness. Some women will get just a bit of morning sickness and not suffer to horribly for the trouble that they end up going through and often the morning sickness disappears quickly after a few weeks. Sadly, some women have it really bad and are very sick for a large part of their pregnancy or all of it. Some women even get morning sickness so badly that the baby they are carrying and their own lives may be in danger! This is usually rare luckily and is often treatable with medication and active medical attention.
There are even better things that can come along with having morning sickness while you're expecting as compared to never having it at all. There are clinical studies that show that while pregnant, women that never suffer from morning sickness actually face a much higher risk of having a miscarriage or other complications in their pregnancy. Yes you heard that right, if you are perfectly healthy and never get sick while pregnant your baby is more likely to be at risk. This is surprising to many because it would seem that being sick while pregnant would be a major health concern for the baby that is in the womb. Fortunately, this isn't the case in most situations because the mothers' body when she is pregnant actually begins to take measures to support the baby in every way that it can. Like the opposite of getting an infection.
When you get an infection your body surrounds the area that is infected or where the invading thing is and attacks it with a variety of recourses designed to destroy it and purge it from your body. These reactions can include attacking it with blood cells designed to destroy germs, or any type of infection or your body increasing its temperature trying to burn it out.
While you're expecting your body surrounds the baby and builds a wall to prevent anything that isn't desirable from getting in to the baby. The umbilical cord is used to pass food to the baby only after it has gone through the placenta and basically been screened for things that may hurt your baby. While you experience morning sickness your body uses these and many other things to protect your child and will even go so far as to allow a little pain and agony to come to you so that the baby will be okay.
So in the end, having morning sickness is actually a good sign for women that are expecting. It is like your body is acknowledging that it knows that you are trying to do a good thing by bringing a child into the world.
