Despite its name, morning sickness can occur at any time of the day, but it usually disappears after the first 3 months of pregnancy. In order to ease the nausea and vomiting, try these strategies:
- Eat dry cereal, crackers, or dry toast before you get out of bed.
- Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods.
- Instead of three big meals, eat several small meals during the day.
- To quell nausea, sip ginger ale or suck candied ginger.
- Try wearing an acupressure bracelet, such as those used to prevent motion sickness.
- Have someone else prepare food if cooking odors provoke nausea.
