Articles

Morning sickness is one of the most miserable symptoms of pregnancy for most women and some find it continues throughout their entire pregnancy. Fortunately, there are a number of morning sickness remedies that can alleviate the symptoms and allow you to get through your day with less nausea. Here are some tips to help you get past your morning sickness.

• One of the most effective morning sickness remedies is crackers, which are particularly helpful if you wake up nauseated at night. Try keeping* some crackers by the side of your bed.
• Avoid smells or foods that trigger morning sickness. Stick to bland foods when necessary. Remember that hot foods are more likely to trigger nausea, so eat cold or room temperature foods.
• Avoid rich, spicy, acidic and fried foods, which trigger morning sickness in many women.
• Frequent smaller meals help many women get past morning sickness because the stomach is never empty. High protein foods are one of the best morning sickness remedies.
• Take your prenatal vitamins with food and ask about switching to a vitamin with a low dose of iron during the first trimester to ease morning sickness.
• Ginger is also one of the most popular morning sickness remedies and it’s thought to settle your stomach and reduce that queasy feeling. You can try ginger ale made with real ginger, fresh ginger tea and ginger candies.
• There are also other popular alternative morning sickness remedies like the acupressure band, which is a cotton wristband that pushes against an acupressure point on your wrist. You may also ask your doctor about an acustimulation device, which uses a gentle electric current on the underside of your wrist to activate the same acupressure point.
