What does NVP mean in BRITISH MEDICINE

Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy (NVP) is a common symptom experienced by many pregnant women during the early stages of their pregnancy. It can range from mild morning sickness to more severe nausea and vomiting throughout the day.

Possible causes of NVP include hormonal changes, dietary habits such as eating foods with strong odors or spicy foods, stress, fatigue, physical activity, dehydration, too much alcohol consumption, certain medications such as certain antibiotics or even vitamin C supplements.

To manage your symptoms of NVP it's important to try to stick to a regular meal schedule by eating smaller meals that are low in fat. Also try avoiding foods with strong odors or spicy food which may make your symptoms worse. Make sure you're getting enough rest and fluids throughout the day and try relaxation techniques such as yoga or breathing exercises if needed.

Yes, some home remedies that may help provide relief include ginger supplements or consuming peppermint tea or lemonade with honey added for sweetness which can help provide relief from nausea and vomiting when consumed regularly. Additionally you could also place a cold compress on your forehead or wrists when feeling nauseous which can be quite helpful in providing relief.

It is always best to consult your healthcare provider before taking any medications while pregnant as some over-the-counter medications may not be safe for pregnant women due to potential side effects on both you and your baby. Therefore it's important you speak with your healthcare provider about any questions you have prior to taking any medications while pregnant.
