You have to pay attention to the foods you are eating. Fatty foods might be one factor contributing to your morning sickness. And try to eat more protein than normal, which is good for you and the baby, and even your stomach as it takes longer to digest which keeps your stomach occupied. Perhaps you should consider keeping a food journal, which will help you find the foods that trigger your morning sickness. Many people find citrus and caffeine are strong contributors, so also keep an eye on what you drink, not just what you eat.
Popular morning sickness remedies seem to include B6 or B12, which is known to help alleviate the symptoms. But before you take any vitamins or pills as morning sickness remedies, talk to you doctor or OBGYN to make sure it's safe, and that you are taking the right dosage.
Ginger is a well-known aid in helping settle a stomach. Ginger and ginger ale have been recommended as morning sickness remedies for years, though ginger ale does contain sugar so you will want to keep an eye on how much of it you drink. A way to avoid the sugar while still getting the benefit of sugar is to take a ginger capsule or even drinking freshly grated ginger tea.
It's also known that some smells can trigger bouts of morning sickness. So try to avoid any foods that have a strong odor, such as spicy dishes, which might alarm your stomach. But it's not just spice, some women find car exhaust, paint, or even shampoo can trigger their morning sickness. Think about keeping track of smells as well as food and drink in your journal.
Other ancient and well known morning sickness remedies include acupressure. Since pressure points are known to affect the body, and not just for morning sickness, acupressure might help with the symptoms. Or, if not an acupressure session, try a sea band, which puts pressure on the inside of your wrist. Many women have found that this small aid has helped them greatly. You can buy them in almost any drugstore.
Try eating many small meals during the day rather than three larger ones. The idea is to keep your stomach too busy digesting so that it doesn't have time to make you nauseous. But don't eat too much, since an overly full stomach might trigger a bout of morning sickness. Morning sickness remedies growing in popularity also include eating something before you even get out of bed. Try crackers or something easily digestible. Have some when you wake up and give your stomach time to settle before sitting up and getting up for the morning.
Drinking fluids regularly can help cure morning sickness. This will keep you hydrated and make you feel better. Find the liquid that works best for you. Experiment with water, different juices or plain broth.
Get plenty of rest and try to relax. Stress and fatigue contribute immensely to morning sickness.
Being pregnant should be one of the most positive experiences in your life. When morning sickness strikes don't let it blind side you and take away the joy of your pregnancy. Find the best remedy for morning sickness that works for you. For most women, morning sickness stops after the first trimester. However, if your sickness is extremely disabling let your doctor know and he may recommend medication to help alleviate the symptoms.
