Morning sickness is caused by metabolic and hormonal changes in the body. The bad news is, is that is affects seven in ten women. It also varies with each pregnancy. Therefore some women who were unaffected in previous pregnancies can be affected in future pregnancies. The good new is, is that it normally eases in the first three months. However, some women can be affected throughout their whole pregnancy.

There are numerous suggestions on how to ease or cure morning sickness. However, what works for one woman may not work for another. The best recommendation we can make is to try a few and see what works for you through a process of elimination.

Salt and vinegar crisps can ease morning sickness during pregnancy as they help to dry up excess saliva created by the over activity of your saliva glands.

Eat smaller amounts more often. An empty stomach can enhance the feelings of nausea caused by morning sickness.

Make sure you are having enough sleep at night. You will probably find that you need more sleep during pregnancy so you need to accommodate for this. If you feel tired you will feel worse. If you cannot sleep for as long as needed try to take small naps where possible.

It is a good idea to take a tissue dabbed with an essential oil that you like around with you i.e. lemon. When you encounter a smell that makes you feel sick this can be a helpful remedy.

Try to avoid greasy or spicy foods as they often cause nausea or heartburn even smelling it can make you feel queasy.

Having protein snacks are a good way to keep morning sickness at bay. This is because they release energy more slowly and are therefore more effective.

Go with your cravings when you have them. They are normally an indication of what your body needs at the time.

Sea bands that are normally used to aid travel sickness can also work to ease morning sickness.
