Nausea in Pregnancy

My friend, Tina Farewell of Lifetime Books and Gifts, just sent me the following interesting tips on surviving nausea in pregnancy. She doesn't mention the authors name, but does say that it was posted on LifetimeKindredSpirits.

Actual links were added by me so you would have some good quality resources.

My daughter who is 30 weeks along in pregnancy today (1st grandbaby!!) had
terrible nausea for about 4-5 months. Some things that helped . . .

• "Sea-Bands" --we made our own from elastic with buttons sewed on. You wear
  them around your wrist with the button on the inside bottom, so it presses
  on a pressure point about 2 1/2 inches down from the line where your hand
  meets your wrist.

• Ginger --my daughter took capsules.

• Small, frequent, high protein snacks. (Carry snacks to nibble with you
  everywhere)

• Avoiding smells as much as possible.

• Having someone else cook for her. She could cook, but then was to nauseated
  to eat. If someone else cooked, she could get a lot more down. She said it
  helped if she didn't "think" about food, just sat down and ate it.

• Eating and drinking again frequently after vomiting to "keep up"

• Raspberry leaf and / or peppermint tea

• Dandelion root tea or chamomile tea

• Taking a prenatal vitamin WITHOUT iron --until nausea subsides

• Taking a brisk walk outside each day

• Taking plenty of naps

• Taking Vitamin B6 (between 50-200 mg daily)

• Prayer.
  
  

Have a healthy day!
