Despite its name, morning sickness can occur at any time of the day, but it usually disappears after the first 3 months of Pregnancy. In order to ease the nausea and vomiting, try these strategies:

Eat dry cereal, crackers, or dry toast before you get out of bed.

Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods.

Instead of three big meals, eat several small meals during the day.

To quell nausea, sip ginger ale or suck candied ginger.

Try wearing an acupressure bracelet, such as those used to prevent motion sickness.

Have someone else prepare food if cooking odors provoke nausea.
