Morning Sickness Remedies

• Avoid warm places as heat can increase the nausea feelings.
• Take naps during the day and try to get enough sleep at night. Fatigue plays a big part in morning sickness.
• Get out of bed slowly in the morning.

• Open windows or turn on exhaust fans when cooking and after meals.
• Cooking in the microwave usually produces less odors.
• Silly as it sounds, carry a handkerchief with a few drops of a non nausea causing essential oil (lemon for example) in it and breath through it if you can't get away from the smell that is bothering you.
• Keep some kind of cracker or bland dry cereal at the bedside and eat a small amount before you get up.

• Avoid fatty, greasy or spicy foods as they take longer to digest.
• Have frequent protein snacks.
• Since hunger seems to heighten the nausea, try to eat a small meal every two hours.
• Eating something salty before a meal can help you "make it through" a meal.
• Drink beverages seperate from your meals.
• Drink ginger ale or ginger tea.
• Drink small amounts of fluids regularly though out the day to avoid dehydration.
• Do not skip meals if you can help it.
• Cold food may have less nausea inducing smells associated with them.
• Limit intake of sweet foods.
• Low sugar, carbonated beverages help.
• Drink slowly, a few sips at a time.
• Be sure to drink in order to avoid dehydration.
• Stay upright and active for a half hour to an hour after eating.

• Try taking your prenatals later in the day.
• Talk to your doctor about Vitamin B6. This supplement has been found effective with pregnancy induced morning sickness.
• Ginger capsules: 250 mg. three times daily. Ginger has long been associated with alleviating nausea.
• Ask your doctor if you can stop taking your Prenatals temporarily to see if the nausea diminishes. You may still need to take a Folic Acid supplement to help protect your baby.
• Talk to your doctor about not taking iron supplements unless you are anemic. Iron supplements can be hard for your stomach to deal with.
