Mmmmmmmmm, well, it is estimated that approximately 50 to 90 percent of pregnant women experience discomfort from the nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy, so you are definitely not alone!! Here are a few tips you can try....
Eat small meals throughout the day so that you're never too full or too hungry.
Avoid rich, fatty foods.
Avoid foods with smells that bother you.
Eat more carbohydrates (plain baked potato, white rice, dry toast).
Eat crackers and other bland foods when you feel nauseous.
Try jellies, flavoured frozen desserts (popsicles, frujus), chicken broths, ginger ale (nondiet), sugared decaf or herbal teas, and pretzels.
The iron in prenatal vitamins can bother some women. If you think your morning sickness is related to your vitamins, talk with your doctor and he or she may change your vitamins.
Wearing "acupressure" wrist bands, which are sometimes used by passengers on boats to prevent sea sickness, may help some women who have morning sickness. You can buy the bands at boating stores or travel agencies.
Well good luck with that, and don't worry, it does wear off soon!! If anyone else has some tips for jklm we would love to hear from you!!
