Controlling Morning Sickness
If you are in your first trimester of pregnancy, CONGRATS!! You are probably excited, exhausted, and a bit nauseas. Try to relax, it will be over soon. In the mean time, here are some helpful hints that may help to fight off that nausea sooner!
- Eat small meals often
- Stay away from spicy or garlicky foods (any food that “stays with you” will be a nuisance)
- Try to stay hydrated. This is highly important but often times hard to do!
- Relax and take naps as much as possible
- Try aloe water. 2 oz a day
- Keep a small snack with you at all times (like saltine crackers)
- Before stepping out of bed in the morning, lay there for about 10 minutes and munch on some crackers
- Ginger ale may help to relax your stomach and reduce the nausea
- Try to get fresh air, you may feel too sick to exercise but at least try to go for a walk each day
- B6 and magnesium have been helpful for some women. The recommended dose is 100 mg B6 and 400 mg Magnesium
