Most cases of morning sickness occur between the 4th and 6th week of pregnancy and lasts until the 14th to 16th week, but may last all through pregnancy, and leave many women actively searching for the elusive morning sickness cure.

What Can I Do To Cure My Morning Sickness?
Each woman is different where morning sickness cures are concerned. What works for one, may or many not work for another. Below you will find ideas which you can try:

Vitamin B6 - 50 mg. daily. Vitamin B6 has been scientifically shown to help morning sickness. You can find Vitamin B6 at your local drugstore or health food store. Just recently, companies have started to incorporate therapeutic doses of Vitamin B6 into their products to help you cure your morning sickness.

Avoid warm places as heat can increase the nausea feelings.

Take naps during the day (but not right after eating). Tiredness plays a big part in morning sickness.

Get enough sleep at night.

Get out of bed slowly in the morning.

Try eating plain crackers or dry cereal before you get out of bed in the morning.

Open windows or turn on exhaust fans when cooking and after meals.

Cooking in the microwave usually produces less odors.

Ginger in capsules form 250 mg. three times daily can be beneficial. Ginger has long been associated with alleviating nausea. You can also get the benefit of using ginger by chewing on crystallized ginger or sucking on ginger hard candies.

Silly as it sounds, carry a handkerchief with a few drops of a non nausea causing essential oil (lemon for example) in it and breath through it if you can't get away from the smell that is bothering you.

Avoid greasy or spicy foods as they often cause nausea or heartburn.

Eat what you want when you want it. Your cravings will not lead you the wrong way.

Have frequent protein snacks. (Low fat meats and seafood, nuts, eggs and beans are high protein.)

Eat smaller meals every two hours or so.

Eating something salty before a meal can help you "make it through" a meal.

Do not drink fluids with your meals.

Non caffeinated teas like peppermint and ginger can help came nausea.

Drink small amounts of fluids regularly though out the day to avoid dehydration.

Do not skip meals if you can help it.

Try taking your prenatal vitamins later in the day. Pregnancy Plus prenatal vitamins are smaller in size and are less likely to upset your stomach. You may also want to consider taking your prenatal vitamin at night before you go to bed to give it a chance to be absorbed overnight.

Avoid spicy and fried food - both eating and smelling it can increase your nausea.

Cold food may have less nausea inducing smells associated with them.

Doctor Prescribed Medications
If your morning sickness is severe enough, your doctor may prescribe medication that will help you reclaim some normality in your life. If you are unable to keep food or water down for any length of time, PLEASE talk to your doctor to see what can be done. Extensive weight loss / dehydration can be harmful to both mom and baby. Your doctor will be able to evaluate your situation and health profile and decide which medication will be most helpful in giving you morning sickness relief. The medications prescribed are administered in three different ways depending on the severity of the morning sickness and the medication: orally, intravenously, and in suppository format.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I understand what you are going through. Try getting up slowly in the morning. Eat small snacks every two hours or so if you can tolerate it. I didn't drink liquids with my snacks/meals. Peppermints, ginger ale, ginger capsules are also options. Talk with your ob-gyn about some remedies. Also keep the windows open to avoid dealing with unnecessary odors. Take care and take prenatal and any vitamins at nighttime.

The cereal All Bran or Fiber one may help. Sometimes the fiber in the cereal helps with naseau. I used this method when I was experiencing naseau and it actually worked pretty well. I ate it dry so I am not sure if it makes a difference if you add milk or not.
