There's no reason to believe morning sickness is an automatic side effect with your new baby.
From what you read, it is easy to think it is inevitable that you will experience nausea.
It does not occur in every pregnancy, and you shouldn't sit around waiting for your pregnancy nausea to start.
As theory would have it, there are those who believe most morning sickness cases are due to women thinking they are going to have it and basically willing the affliction on themselves.
There is something called "the art of positive thinking," which is sadly lacking in our present society.
This is not to say that women don't have legitimate spells with morning sickness, and it's not to say that anyone wants to be sick.
However, there is power in negative thinking just as there is power in positive thinking.
For the most part, civilized societies have morning sickness, and uncivilized ones don't.
These are observations made by people who have personally visited some third world environments as missionaries or Peace Corps volunteers.
Although it can't be conclusively said the women in underprivileged countries have no morning sickness, evidence does reveal they have very little.
This can be looked at in more than one way.
First, maybe uncivilized women are stronger than your typical 21st century mom is.
Secondly, maybe people who live in places without doctors don't need as much health care as we need in this country.
We come to rely on the privileges and options that we have available, be they many or few.
A third point might be that women who must do for themselves are mentally tougher because they have to be; they have no other alternative.
Maybe some of that positive thinking comes into play because they need it in order to survive.
We often give advice on the home cures for pregnancy nausea, but too little of the time do we look at positive thinking and its possible impact on anything we undertake to do.
We've heard it all our lives, but we scarcely give it any lip service anymore.
It is a known fact that the more we dwell on the negative, the more negative we become; it is a part of the thinking process.
We've all heard the tags applied to people as to whether they view the glass as half empty or half full.
That concept is a mindset as to whether a person is generally positive or negative.
Yes, women do have morning sickness.
Why women in underprivileged countries don't seem to have it, no one knows.
What we do know is that some women do have it, and they need relief from the discomfort of pregnancy nausea.
Is it necessary for so many women to suffer so much? The positive thinking theory can be applied not only by expectant moms, but by those who are around them as well.
Maybe fathers-to-be can contribute by being more positive and supportive.
Perhaps the nausea wouldn't be so bad if we didn't constantly tell a young woman to expect it.
All involved parties need to approach the problem with the "half full" mindset as opposed to "half empty.
" Having a baby is a commitment by the overall family unit to pull together and offer their support.
Maybe a pregnancy nausea start wouldn't be so bad if everyone worked together to contribute positive vibes to the situation.
