Morning Sickness

We all know morning sickness is nasty stuff. With my first pregnancy, I ended up having it so bad, I lost five pounds during my first trimester. The only solution I found was ginger tea. I would drink a cup each morning before I ate anything and it would keep me from throwing up. However, if I didn't drink it and I got sick, the ginger tea wouldn't fix it; I had to use it as a preventative. I use Traditional Medicinals brand and order it from Amazon. You can also make your own by brewing about 2 tsp of fresh ginger root for about 15 minutes in 8 ounces of water. I like sweetening with a little honey, and sometimes like a little lemon juice with it.

I kept crackers or pretzels by my bed and had a few before I got up. If I felt nauseous during the day, cold fruit like apples always helped!0

I find that first thing in the morning I have a cold or warm glass of water with fresh lemon juice in it. It subsides the morning sickness just long enough for me to get oatmeal in there.
I will also be testing the "jolly Rancher candy" theory this week to see if that works.0 -
The only thing that helped me some days was eating a little bit of something every hour0
