I had horribly debilitating nausea during my second pregnancy. After putting up with it for 16 weeks (stupid) I went to my naturopath, and he gave me a liquid ginger tincture. I was fine that afternoon, and never felt sick for the rest of the pregnancy.
So, ginger, ginger, and more ginger!

Usually there is no actual cure like you will never get it again. To relieve the symptons of nausea (giddiness and the urge to throw up) smell a menthol balm or oil . Rub some of this onto the nostrils and on your forehead.
Also find out what triggered the nausea. For a pregnant lady it could be the smell of perfume or the smell of certain type of food. For those who have sensitive nose, even a dirty toilet can cause severe nausea. Avoid.

I had hyperemesis so it was difficult to keep anything down. The most important thing for you to do is to make sure you are getting your liquids to avoid becoming dehydrated which in turn can make the nausea worse. I had to get on the Zofran pump and take phenergan just to help me move around without throwing up. My dietician from Matria (the home health care nurses with the Zofran pump) recommended the gingerbread cookies. I also kept a sucker with me which helped alieve the going to throw up right then feeling if I couldn't get to the bathroom at that moment. Try eating very small frequent meals, like only 2 or 3 bites of bland food like rice with no butter or potatoes. If nothing seems to help and the sickness gets worse, ask your doctor about the Zofran pump. Yes it is intimidating, but it works wonders when you can't keep anything down.

Causes
Nausea is not an illness itself; it is rather a possible case of several conditions, many of which are not related to the stomach at all. In fact, more often than not nausea indicates a condition somewhere else in the body rather than in the stomach itself. An example of this is travel sickness, which is due to confusion between perceived movement and actual movement. Our sense of equilibrium lies in the ear and works together with eyesight. When these two don't "agree" to what extent the body is actually moving the symptom is presented as nausea even though the stomach itself has nothing to do with the situation. Nausea is also an adverse effect of many drugs.

In medicine, nausea is a particular problem during some chemotherapy regimens and following general anaesthesia. Nausea is also a common symptom of pregnancy. Even though nausea is generally seen as an indication that something is wrong, experiencing it during pregnancy is quite normal, and should not be considered an immediate cause for alarm.


Treatment
While short-term nausea and vomiting are generally harmless, they may sometimes indicate a more serious condition, such as Celiac Disease. When associated with prolonged vomiting, it may cause dangerous levels of dehydration and/or electrolyte imbalances.

Symptomatic treatment for nausea and vomiting may include short-term avoidance of solid food. This is usually easy as nausea is nearly always associated with loss of appetite. Dehydration may require rehydration with oral or intravenous electrolyte solutions. Oral rehydration (drinking water) is safer and simpler in most cases.

There are many antiemetics (drugs to suppress nausea and vomiting), although researchers continue to look for more effective treatments. Also available are a variety of noninvasive, mechanical devices used to suppress nausea due to motion sickness, but these products are seldom tested in a laboratory setting.

Peppermints are a good, and often handy way to ease nausea. It always worked for me when I was pregnant. You can't chew them up, though! You have to let them slowly dissolve in your mouth.

Tightly tape in place a golf ball to your underside of your wrist about 3 inches below your palm. I read this in the October issue of Men's Health Magazine.
