Prevent Morning Sickness
Finding a way to prevent morning sickness is still a mystery to many pregnant women. No pregnancies are alike and therefore there really isn't a definitive way of preventing morning sickness. Although it is important to keep the morning sickness under control as vomiting heavily will dehydrate the mother and the baby.

It will also deprive the mother and the baby vital nutrients and vitamins if the mother cannot hold the food and water down. This usually would require hospital admission so that the mother can be given continuous fluids through a drip and the baby's vital signs can also be closely monitored. There are a few ways to help a pregnant woman prevent morning sickness.
Always take your time to get out of bed. For those who feel instantly ill as soon as they rise, then eat something light before you even get out of bed, like dry toast, a muesli bar or some fresh fruit juice. Leave them beside your bed so they can be reached easily first thing in the morning. Throughout the day, take frequent small meals, even if you don't feel like it. This will prevent an empty stomach which could magnify the morning sickness.
Stay away from caffeine laden drinks such as coffee or fizzy soft drinks as well as alcohol. Try to avoid heavy-duty housework, take things easy and have plenty of rest or short naps throughout the day or whenever you feel tired.
If you find certain food or the smell of certain food trigger the morning sickness, then avoid coming into contact with them. This is especially relevant when you are at a supermarket. Try not to brush your teeth too rigorously or brush them straight after a meal as this may induce vomiting. If you feel up to it, get some fresh air, take a short walk, do some gentle exercise to take your mind off any feeling of nausea.
Do always remember to take regular breaks during any kind of activity, listen closely to your body. Stop immediately if you feel light-headed or short of breath. The aim is to take your mind off the morning sickness by gentle activity but not to the extent of over-exerting yourself.
ake things slow and easy and move slowly. Do not twist your body suddenly or have jerky and sudden movements. Find whichever way that makes you comfortable in bed, if you need many fluffy pillows, do so. Never go to bed with a full or empty stomach, always remember to top up your food intake.
If possible, always keep your place well-aired so that you get fresh air throughout the day and night. If none of the above works and you keep vomiting at least four times a day with dramatic weight loss, then consult a doctor immediately. You must make sure to top up your fluid levels for your well-being and the baby's too.

New research has indicated that for those expectant mothers who do not experience morning sickness are more than twice as likely to suffer a miscarriage than those who do. These researchers are convinced that far from having a negative impact on the baby due to the mother's constant throwing up and nausea leading to a lack of food intake as a result of the lack of appetite, morning sickness is believed to be an evolutionary defence mechanism that protects the mother and the child from very harmful living organisms found in food.
Taking proper nutrients during early stages of pregnancy is very important to ensure the foetus' healthy development. This is also the time (the first twelve weeks of gestation) where a baby is at its most vulnerable. This may help to explain why many pregnant women develop an aversion to foods that they used to love. They get put off easily by the simple day to day items such as the smell of coffee, meat, fish, cheeses and eggs. These are the types of food which harbour harmful micro-organisms and parasites during the food handling process.
Similarly, pregnant women are advised to always cook their egg thoroughly until the yolk is hard. They are advised against eating soft cheeses and to stay away from liver products.
Morning sickness is believed to be nature's way of shielding the mother and foetus from food-borne illnesses from harmful chemicals that have the potential to disrupt the normal development of foetal organs at the height of its development (e.g. the first trimester of gestation). This also explains why most women feel better after the first twelve weeks of pregnancy as this is the time when the building blocks of the development of the baby have been laid down, not completely out of the danger zone, but at least it is not as vulnerable as it was during the first trimester.
Morning sickness symptoms should gradually subside from this point forward. Although doctors are quick to reassure expectant mothers that not experiencing morning sickness does not mean their baby is in any kind of danger or that they will suffer a miscarriage. Research shows most women give birth to healthy babies despite experiencing little to no morning sickness symptoms.
In any case, it is universally agreed that pregnant women should avoid prescription drugs unless the morning sickness is so severe that not doing so would put the mother and the baby's health in great danger of a miscarriage.
Relieving Morning Sickness
Most women who are pregnant will find themselves suffering from morning sickness of some description especially during the first three months of their pregnancy. The symptoms normally subside when you enter your second and third trimester. Having said that, some women continue to suffer from morning sickness all through their pregnancy.

The severity of morning sickness for pregnant women varies. Serious cases of morning sickness, such as hyperemesis, can cause huge amount of weight loss, continuous vomiting and nausea. This condition needs to be treated with proper medication to ensure the mother's body is well-hydrated and that the baby receives enough nutrients from the mother.
For those who suffer from mild to moderate level of morning sickness, there are many home remedies that are effective in relieving morning sickness symptoms. If you suffer from constant nausea, whether or not you actually end up vomiting, have some ginger tea, ginger ale, ginger biscuits or ginger flavoured candies.
Do not consume huge amount of ginger as it has been known to induce a miscarriage, so take in small quantities and spread it out over a period of time rather than having all of them in one go. Take frequent meals but with smaller serving size for each meal. Do not leave your stomach empty for a long stretch of time as this may make the feeling of nausea worse.
Try dry toast first thing in the morning. Keep snack food well stocked-up and handy wherever you go, snack on some food whenever you feel the nausea is returning. Food high in protein content can stabilise your blood sugar and keep the morning sickness at bay, for example, try some yoghurt, cheese, beef jerky or hard-boiled eggs. Another handy trick is to mix one tablespoon each of apple cider vinegar and honey to a glass of cold water, take it just before you hit the bed.
Tart foods are also said to help in relieving morning sickness, such as citrus juice (lime. orange and lemon), lemonade, lime sorbet or fresh tomato juice. No one ingredient can absolutely guarantee a complete elimination of morning sickness. Therefore it's worth experimenting with the different remedies. It should not be difficult to find out which food works well for you.
You may find people trying to give you all sorts of advice on pregnancy's dos and don'ts, the best way to find out is to try them out at least once and see if it helps make you feel better. Sometimes your body is your best barometer. Listen to your body closely.
