How to avoid nausea?
In the morning
Take your time getting out of bed.
If you tend to feel really sick in the morning, eat a little as soon as you wake up and before getting out of bed.
Ask your partner to bring the food to you, or prepare a snack the night before and leave it beside your bed.
Throughout the day
Eat little and often, every two or three hours - even if you're not hungry.
Drink a lot of liquid, preferably 10 to 12 glasses of water, fruit juice or herbal tea each day.
Avoid food containing a lot of fat or spices.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
Eat dry crackers, toasted bread or rusks.
Ginger tea or ginger tablets can help reduce nausea.
Rest several times a day. Lie down with a pillow under your head and legs.
Move slowly and avoid sudden movements.
After eating, sit down so that gravity helps to keep the food in your stomach.
Avoid smells that make you feel sick or throw up.
Don't brush your teeth immediately after eating because this can cause vomiting.
Get some fresh air and exercise by going for a little walk every day.
At night
Before going to bed, it may help to eat a snack such as a yoghurt, bread, milk, cereal or a sandwich.
If you wake up during the night, eating a small snack may stop you feeling sick in the morning.
Sleep with the windows open to get some fresh air, if possible.

Keep crackers and soda like Sprite or 7 up by your bed Eat a few crackers and wash them down with some soda before you get out of bed helps a lot Then if you feel nauseated through out the rest of the day eat some crackers and drink plenty of water.

I hope you like ginger.
It's the best remedy for morning sickness, travel sickness and is even used by cancer patients to combat the nausea following chemotherapy.
I found candied ginger the most palatable, you can use root ginger, but even the powdered ginger you buy as a spice will do, if you infuse it 1teaspoon to a cup with boiling water.

Take your time getting out of bed in the morning and keep crackers by the bed. Eat a few before you wake up.
This is what helped me.

Are you also salavating alot? I did and also had awful heartburn. Morning sickness works alot like motion sickness, food is better then an empty tummy. I also had acid reflux which is why mine was so bad and the DR gave me a perscription and it helped wonderfully.

thats normal, just let it take it's course , it's natural to feel symptoms while you are pregnant. I have 2 children so I know what you're going through.
