你好,晨吐!
Some women describe it as sea sickness, others like permanent hangover. And some lucky you-know-whats will never get morning sickness at all.
有些女性將晨吐描述爲暈船，而其她女性則認爲晨吐像永久性宿醉一樣。而有些你所知道的幸運女性從沒有經歷過晨吐。That's perhaps the most important thing to know before you deep-dive into morning sickness horror stories online, before you listen to your friends lamenting months spent hugging the toilet bowl: it's different for everyone.
在你深讀網上有關晨吐的恐怖故事前，在你聽好朋友抱怨好幾個月都抱着馬桶吐之前，知道這一點可能最爲重要：這是因人而異的。So with that in mind here are some things you ought to know about morning sickness.
記住這一點後，下列就是你應該知道的關於晨吐的那些事兒。
* Roughly 80 per cent of women experience symptoms of morning sickness. For many, these symptoms include things like nausea, vomiting, a loss of appetite, and a heightened sensitivity to certain smells.
*大約80%的孕婦會有晨吐症狀。對於很多人來說，這些症狀包括噁心、嘔吐、食慾不振以及對特定氣味特別敏感。* In the majority of cases, morning sickness symptoms begin at around four weeks and subside after the first three months. Although for some women, they can persist for the duration of the pregnancy.
*在大多數情況下，晨吐症狀大約在懷孕四周後開始，頭三個月過後症狀會慢慢減輕。但有些孕婦在懷孕期間一直都有晨吐症狀。* The name 'morning sickness' is a misnomer. Morning sickness can - and does for some - occur at any time of the day or night.
*'晨吐'一詞是個誤稱。晨吐--對一些人來說--會在白天或夜晚的任何時間發生。* The severity and duration of symptoms not only vary greatly from woman to woman, but also between pregnancies. Unfortunately, the fact that you avoided it with your first child, doesn't necessarily mean that you will the second, third or tenth time around.
*晨吐的嚴重程度和持續時間不僅因孕婦而異，也因懷孕次數而異。不幸的是，如果你第一胎沒有晨吐症狀，並不意味着你第二胎、第三胎或第十胎也不會晨吐。* Roughly one per cent of women will experience Hyperemesis gravidarum - this is morning sickness so severe that it results in unrelenting nausea, excessive vomiting (more than four times a day), headaches, weight loss and dehydration. Sufferers may require hospital admission and medication. Perhaps the most famous sufferer of Hyperemesis gravidarum that we know of is the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.
*大約1%的孕婦會經歷妊娠劇吐--這種晨吐十分嚴重，會導致一直噁心、過度嘔吐（每天超過四次）、頭痛、體重減輕和脫水。出現這種症狀的孕婦需要住院、吃藥。也許我們知道的經歷妊娠劇吐的名人就是凱特王妃了吧。
How to ease morning sickness.
如何緩解晨吐。* For many women, daily nausea is an unavoidable part of pregnancy, but there are a number of ways you can help alleviate or even prevent that awful sensation from taking over.
*對大多數女性來說，日日噁心是懷孕不可避免的一部分，但有很多方法可以緩解甚至是預防這種可怕的感覺。* Consider the following advice via the Federal Government's Health Direct service:
*考慮聯邦政府健康指導服務給出的下列建議吧：* Keep some dry crackers and water by your bed. A lot of women find it helpful to eat/drink before they get up in the morning.
*牀邊放一些餅乾和水，很多女性發現早晨起牀前吃點/喝點東西很有幫助。* Eat smaller meals more often, rather than three large ones.
*多吃小餐，而不是吃三頓大餐。* Avoid going for long periods without food. This can actually make symptoms worse.
*不要長時間不吃東西。實際上這隻會加重症狀。* Have a range of foods on hand (for example, salty, sweet, crunchy) as your taste may change during the day.
*手邊有很多食物（例如，鹹鹹的食物、甜食和脆脆的食物），因爲你的口味可能會有所改變。
