Also, consult your doctor before taking any medications.

]]> 83383 15731 0 Step Take prenatal vitamins If you’re trying to get pregnant, start popping prenatal vitamins now. Some studies show that they can help prevent morning sickness if taken at the time of conception.

]]> 83384 15732 0 Step Eat before rising Set your alarm clock for a little earlier than usual so you don’t have to jump out of bed. Nibble on crackers or dry cereal before you get up.

]]> 83385 15733 0 Step Stay hydrated Sip fluids throughout the day—but not with meals. Have a beverage half an hour before or after you eat.

]]> 83386 15734 0 Tip If drinking makes you queasy, try eating foods with a high water content—like lettuce, melon, and citrus fruits.

]]> 83387 15735 0 Step Eat mini-meals Eat small meals throughout the day so you don’t get too hungry—or too full. Avoid spicy foods if they make your nausea worse.

]]> 83388 15736 0 Step Avoid cooking smells If you can’t stand the smell, get out of the kitchen! Let your partner do the cooking, and turn on the exhaust fan over the stove to draw out odors.

]]> 83389 15737 0 Step Eat anti-nausea foods Try foods and drinks that have been found to relieve nausea: ginger root, ginger candies, lemons, lemonade, and peppermint tea. Just sniffing them can help. Salty chips calm some women’s stomachs enough to allow them to eat a real meal.

]]> 83390 15738 0 Step Try a motion sickness band Try a motion sickness band. Worn on the wrist, they apply acupressure and often do the trick.

]]> 83391 15739 0 Tip Talk to your doctor If you’re vomiting a lot, brush your teeth and/or swish with mouthwash afterward. You’ll feel better with a fresh mouth, and you’ll reduce the chances of tooth decay.

]]> 83392 15740 0 Step Talk to your doctor Talk to your doctor. He or she may be willing to prescribe vitamin B-6, a supplement that sometimes helps with nausea and vomiting. Or, if you’re not diabetic, he might suggest Emetrol, a nonprescription medicine that is generally considered safe during pregnancy.

]]> 83393 15741 0 Step Try alternate cures If all else fails, take an alternative route. Acupuncture and hypnotism have both been found to help some women. And what’s a little quirkiness if it’ll help with the queasiness?

]]> 83394 15742 0 Fact Some expectant fathers get morning sickness too—along with some other symptoms of pregnancy. It’s called “couvade syndrome,” from a French word meaning “to hatch.”
