This week or next, you may start experiencing pregnancy-related nausea known as “morning sickness,” though it can happen during any time of day. While these feelings can signal rising pregnancy hormones — and therefore, a potentially more viable pregnancy [1] — waves of nausea are still no fun.

Here are a few Spinning Babies® ideas to help take the edge off of morning sickness:
- Drink warm, unflavored water upon waking to overcome sluggishness.
- Keep a snack on your bedside table.
- Eat protein in the morning and every 2-4 hours thereafter.
- Keep meals small, but frequent.
- Take 50 mg of B vitamins.
- Drink ginger tea or try ginger lozenges/candy.
- Add a few drops of essential oils to a diffuser. Try ginger, peppermint, or lavender.
- Sip Red Raspberry Leaf tea (made from red raspberry leaves, not a flavored black tea).
- Try Sea-Bands, which activate acupressure points that fight nausea.
- Try acupuncture.
- Consider Emotional Freedom Technique and/or Eye Movement Therapy.
