Although it is termed as “morning sickness” it is actually likely to strike pregnant women at any and all times of the day. The extremity of the sickness will vary from woman to woman. The nausea usually starts around 6 weeks but can come on as early as 4 weeks and tends to worsen over the next month or so. About half of women who get it feel complete relief by about 14 weeks. For most of the rest, it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up, though it may return later and come and go throughout pregnancy.
 
There are some things you can do to help ease the nausea. For me personally, the two best remedies were Hansen’s Diet Ginger Ale and Preggie Pops. Ginger has always been wonderful in helping to ease nausea. Preggie Pops are made in many of the flavors that help ease queasiness: ginger, peppermint and sour fruits.
 
Another suggestion to help ease the nausea is to eat small, frequent meals throughout the day so that your stomach is never empty. This will also help later on in the pregnancy when the heartburn really sets in. Women tend to turn to carbohydrates when feeling nauseated, but there have been studies done to show that high protein foods may actually work better.
 
Ask your health care provider about a vitamin B6 supplement. Research has shown that B6 has helped ease nausea in many women.
 
Keep some crackers by your bed. When you first wake up in the morning, nibble on a cracker and try to rest for about 20-30 minutes before you ever attempt to get out of bed.
 
These are just a few suggestions. Always take to your health care provider regarding anything you may be feeling in your pregnancy. They may also have a prescription relief for morning sickness.
