Ginger has all sorts of health benefits. First up, it contains gingerol which contains powerful medicinal properties in it. Ginger also has properties to reduce muscle pain and soreness. Ginger

is an anti-inflammatory food that helps to decrease the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis, and it can lower your blood sugar levels too. 

If you’re feeling like you might hurl, you can

chew on some ginger root or drink some ginger tea or beer. Some studies indicate that it’s about as effective as over-the-counter nausea medication (although it’s not proven to stop

any vomiting once it starts). One way to make the tea is to boil some water and allow some cut up pieces of ginger to steep in it. Then sweeten

with a bit of honey.

One of the reasons why it’s a good idea to take a prenatal vitamin is that you can get some Vitamin B complex into your system. It can give you

more energy, lower your risk of having a stroke, and Vitamin B5 has pantothenic acid which is great for cell growth and renewal. Vitamin B6 is really good for morning

sickness because it helps your body to make antibodies, red blood cells, and neurotransmitters which can level out hormonal imbalances and that can relieve queasiness. Foods that are high in

Vitamin B6 include bananas, cauliflower and lean meats.

Did you know that a good old-fashioned tummy massage can do wonders for morning sickness too? This is how it works. Massages increase blood circulation throughout the body. When that

happens, any tension that you might have in your muscles begin to relax. This helps to calm the hormones in your body and reduce your feeling of nausea. 

Combine some lavender or

sandalwood oil to some slightly warm coconut oil and gently massage your abdomen area for about 20 minutes. Doing this should provide you with some much-needed relief.

You might’ve heard somewhere that motion sickness wristbands are effective. This gets mixed reviews, but the theory is that the pressure applied to your wrist provides similar effects to acupuncture.

When your wrists are stimulated, it can relieve nausea. Don’t hold us to this, but it can’t hurt to give it a shot. You can get some here.

You should speak with your doctor about whether or not it’s a good idea for you to have coffee throughout your pregnancy (especially during the first trimester). But if you’re

drinking it and experiencing morning sickness, you kind of already have your answer. Coffee is a stimulant that affects your nervous system. That might be why it makes you feel

all queasy. 

And fried foods? That’s most definitely a morning sickness trigger! The grease alone can make you feel really sick to your stomach. Avoid junk food and a lot of

fried foods as much as possible.

Usually, when we feel nauseated, the last thing we want to do is eat. But for morning sickness, it’s one of the best remedies. The reason why is because your

nausea may be connected to changes in your blood sugar levels. Eating several small meals instead of 2-3 three big ones can help to level everything out. 

Some foods that are

connected to easing morning sickness include avocados, eggs, whole grain pasta, yogurt, almond butter and apple and celery sticks.

Did you know that popsicles can relieve morning sickness? It’s a great way to get the fluids into your body that you need (because when you’re dehydrated, that can also

make you feel nauseated). Popsicles are usually made of fruit, veggies and/or herbs to give your body some of the nutrients that it needs too. If you want to make

some of your own, some lime, mint and ginger popsicles may be just what your body needs.

You don’t want to spend hours and hours in bed; that can make morning sickness worse. But taking a quick 20-minute nap a couple of times a day can make

you feel instantly better. It will calm the dizziness and give you more energy so that you’re not constantly feeling tired.

We know morning sickness is the absolute worst but hang

in there. It’s all for the greater good. You’ll get through it and have a beautiful baby to show for it!
