morning sickness remedies

June 29th, 2009

I have had three pregnancies and each one was different from the other. On my first pregnancy, I had no morning sickness but was on bed rest for about three months, I was not allowed to exercise and I had to take several medicines all throughout. My second and third pregnancies were not as difficult as the first but I had morning sickness on the first trimester. As a general rule, pregnant women are not allowed to take a whole lot of medicines since they could prove harmful to the fetus. I had to resort to natural morning sickness remedies.

During first three months of my pregnancy, I stayed away from warm and congested area, took short lunch break naps and avoided perfumes with strong scents. I also had to avoid spicy, greasy and sour foods. The biggest hurdle for me was having to cut down on sweets and coffee! My friends also suggested the following morning sickness remedies: ~taking my prenatals in the afternoon so that they are not “wasted” when I have morning sickness. ~ginger herbal tablets (this was much better than taking ginger or ginger tea like some of them did) and ~iron supplements which unfortunately contributed to my constipation.
