Mint is good for general
stomach upset. Try making yourself some peppermint tea. For some women
though it may make their upset even worse.
Ginger also works well. You can eat ginger snaps or drink ginger ale. I
recommend drinking ginger tea.
You can also try papaya enzyme.
If you feel a bout of nausea
coming on, take a lemon and slice it and smell the lemon. It helps to make
you feel better.
A friend of mine told me the
best cure that she uses when she is sick with pregnancy. Before she goes
to bed at night, she takes a half of a Unisom. She wakes up the next
morning with no sickness.
My personal favorite tip to
treat morning sickness is papaya enzymes, but however, my doctor told me
if that didn't work, to drink lemonade (raspberry lemonade works great),
or even (gross) potato chips. Somehow potato chips and their grease helps
the nausea (never tried it though).

I didn't want to take any meds
during pregnancy so I tried EVERYTHING!!!! Nothing seemed to work. One
day I tried eating almonds and it worked. Every time I felt a bout of
nausea coming on I only had to eat a couple and I felt great. They are
healthy too! Another good tip is to reduce stress by walking and get tons
of sleep (if you can)

I had severe nausea and morning sickness with
my sixth baby. Things that I did to help were:
-
Made sure my blood sugar didn't
get too low
-
Ate light foods such as salads
and fruits
-
Sucked on "Preggy Pops" (found
at Motherhood stores or online at Motherhood.com)
-
Took Mag Phos 30C homeopathic
remedies. This helped me tremendously!
