Morning sickness
Hey I'm in week 9 of my first trimester and I need to know what could I do to ease my Nassau...
Morning sickness can be rough, so sorry! Here's a few tips to help--
Eating small meals throughout the day instead of three big ones.
Have some crackers or a snack by your bed, so when you get up you can put something in your tummy right away. Sliced apples, slicing lemons (the smell helps some), motion sickness bracelets, ginger or anything with ginger root in it, peppermint (even try some peppermint tea), and Vitamin B6.
Don't have fluids and meals together. Make sure you are drinking lots of water; you need to stay hydrated or it will make it worse. Eat things high in protein and complex carbs. Don't rush around in the mornings; that can make it worse. Stay away from stress as much as possible.
Try slurpees or ices. When it gets really bad they help, and they are not hard on you coming back up.
Think about the flavor of your toothpaste and switch if it is contributing to making you nauseous.
Get plenty of sleep.
Avoid sugar and fatty foods.
Ask your doctor about switching to a prenatal vitamin with a lower amount of iron for your first trimester.
It's really a trial and error thing to see what will help you in this pregnancy- each one is different, I hope you can find something that helps soon!

Just google stuff, there are a ton of ideas out there. For some people though, like me. Nothing worked. And I tried everything. For the first 17 weeks I threw up every meal. Now at 21 weeks I still puke daily, even tried prescription meds. Unfortunately, some people's bodies just don't take to being pregnant as well as others!
Eat crackers or pretzels before you get out of bed. Good luck morning sickness *****
