Ok several things you could try. Keep in mind though that it is different for every woman who is pregnant.

1. Anything that is ginger or mint. I ate those andes mints all the time for my nausea and they really helped. Or tea.

2. Try eating something really plain like crakers or bread before you get out of bed in the morning. This puts something in your stomache to help fight the nausea. Sometimes, morning sickness is just because your stomache is completely empty.

3. Try toning down the spices and variety of your food. A certain spice may be making the nausea worse. Sometimes its something like milk that could be causing it.

4. Avoid strong smells. Not just strong food smells either. Whenever I smelled a hint of Pine-Sol, I got sick.

5. Eat something right before bed and take your prenatal vitamin then.

6. Graze all day. Don't eat "meals", just kind of munch all the time. Basically, spread your food out throughout the day. This will help when you get farther along and have less room for your stomache. After a few bites my last few weeks I felt like I swallowed a rock. I got very used to constantly eating.

If it gets really bad, where you can't keep anything down, then go to your doctor. You need to keep hydrated and get enough nutrients right now. This is one of the key times during the pregnanacy where the baby is growing by leaps and bounds. So you need to keep yourself healthy. I also ate tums all the time. Should have invested in them when I was pregnant. They are one of the very few medicines you can take, and they give you extra calcium too!

i have heard that those braclets that people wear for sea sickness can help. (may want to check with Dr. first though) I, myself had to be on Diclictan, as i was very ill all day long. Also take your time getting out of bed in the morning, and have some water and soda crackers before getting out of bed. Also if you are taking vitamins i would maybe try taking them at nite. Good luck and i hope you feel better soon!

It sounds like you may have Gastro-oesophageal reflux. I had a similar thing happen during my pregnancy. In fact it's not completely disappeared nearly 3 years later. Try some Gaviscon liquid before you get up in the morning, stay in bed a few minutes before you get up, eat little and often to keep your blood sugar levels from crashing as this can cause nausea too. I would get checked out if I were you though.

I was sick the whole time I was pregnant with my youngest daughter. I found that if I ate small amounts of food every hour to an hour and a half, the nausea was less. I also gained the least amount of weight with her. And lost it all by the time she was a week old. Good Luck and this will end one day, Delivery Day.

The only thing that is working for me after trying ginger cookies,pretzels,crackers etc.is coke and ginger ale. Seems like the bubbles help me to keep the nausea away. And i'm talking about an all day nausea!

Good luck:)

Half a tablet of Unisom & a Vitamin B before bed not only helps me with insomnia - it more or less cured my morning sickness too.

Have ginger nuts by the bed, and eat 2 or 3 before getting up.

Ginger tea or ginger snaps. I had to keep the cookies by my bed and eat a few before getting up in the morning. I hope it goes away :)

This sounds gross, and is,! But TRY to eat a dry cracker BEFORE you sit up in the morning! I didn't believe it either, but it really did help! Ginger tea is also good Hope you feel better soon.

Either eat an orange or drink small amounts of fresh orange juice. The citric acid stop you feeling nauseous. Even just smelling an orange is meant to help. Good luck it won't last forever.
