Generally morning sickness eases after the first trimester (first three months) but sometimes it can linger on. Each woman is different where morning sickness cures are concerned. What works for one, may or may not work for another.  Below you will find ideas which you can try:

Vitamin B6 has been scientifically shown to help morning sickness so try to increase  your intake of vitamin B6 foods such as bananas, salmon, and baked potato.

 

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 so try to get enough sleep at night. When you wake up in the morning get out of bed slowly and, even better,  try eating some plain crackers or dry cereal before you get out of bed.

 

Ginger can be beneficial. Ginger has long been associated with alleviating nausea. You can get the benefit of using ginger by in the form of supplements, capsules or herbal tea.  One of the most effective ways I have found is grating the fresh root and then simmering it in water for about 10 minutes. Add tamari (or soya sauce) for flavouring if you wish and drink as a tea. Another good method of taking ginger is lemon and ginger tea. If you are having trouble keeping fluids down, sweeten the tea with a little honey or maple syrup and freeze as ice cubes to suck as required.

 

Carry a handkerchief with a few drops of a non nausea causing essential oil (lemon for example) in it and breathe through it if you can’t get away from the smell that is making you feel sick.

 

Avoid greasy or spicy foods as they often cause nausea or heartburn. Eat smaller meals and snacks every two hours or so and do not skip meals if you can help it. and do not drink fluid with  your meals. Drink small amounts of fluids regularly though out the day to avoid dehydration but don’t drink fluids with your meals.

 

Try taking your antenatal supplement (like Ante natal Plus) later in the day. You may also want to consider taking your antenatal supplement at night before you go to bed to give it a chance to be absorbed overnight.
