9 remedies for morning sickness

#1: Eat in bed
Nibble some crackers when you wake up.

Then rest for 20 minutes before getting up.

#2: Small and often
Eat small, frequent meals and snacks throughout the day (instead of 3 larger meals).

#3: Eat carbs and protein
Carbs and protein can ease nausea.

#4: Slow down
Whatever you eat, eat it slowly.

#5: Blander is better
Steer clear of spicy, acidic, fatty and fried foods. Bad for digestion.

Eat food cold or at room temp.

#6: Hydrate
Get plenty of fluids.

Try:

• diluted juices
• tea
• broth
• icy poles
• soup

Sparkling water is easier to keep down. Sip throughout the day.

#7: Brush
After eating, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth to get rid of lingering flavours.

#8: Vitamins and midnight snacks
Taking vitamins? Take them at bedtime, with food.

Midnight cracker-snackers may ease nighttime nausea.

#9: Ginger
Ginger settles the stomach.

Try:

• ginger ale made with real ginger
• ginger tablets
• crystallised ginger
• ginger tea
