Eating or taking ginger for headaches and nausea during pregnancy?

Is it ok to eat smell or take ginger while your pregnant? Has anybody used it before? Because I'm starting to get headaches and I was drawn to ginger at the grocery store and later found out that it helps alleviate nausea headaches and even arthrits. But Im just wondering if any of you ladies have used ginger for this during pregnancy. Or if your doctor has given the ok for it. Thanks in advance for the help :)

Ginger is good for many thing. Since I'm Chinese, woman in my culture have ginger in their diet on a daily basic. Both during pregnancy and post birth. It calm your stomach and warm your body's core. Even my doctor told me to drink ginger ale for my nausea.
Of course if you got lot of headache it might be the lack of water intake. Try drinking more water too :)
