Preventing Morning Sickness

• 1). Eat frequent but small meals periodically throughout the day. This will prevent your stomach from feeling too empty, which is a major cause of morning sickness. Eating before you are feeling hungry can reduce the empty stomach feeling and reduce feeling nauseous.
  
  
• 2). Eat a substantial snack before going to bed at night. This will lessen the chances of you feeling extremely hungry in the morning when you wake up.
  
  
• 3). Snack on crackers or lemon heads if you feel like you are getting sick. They also make pregnancy pops, which are said to reduce morning sickness.
  
  
• 4). Purchase a sea-band, which is used for people with motion sickness and seasickness on boats or in car rides.
  
  
• 5). Avoid any food that makes you sick after eating. This might include greasy foods or foods that have a strong smell, such as garlic or onions.
  
  
• 6). Check with your health care provider to see if you could switch prenatal vitamins. Many women believe that switching to children's vitamins are not as harsh on the stomach and thus prevent morning sickness.
  
  
• 7). Drink plenty of water. If you are dehydrated, you increase the likelihood of feeling sick and nauseous.
  
  
• 8). Clean your mouth after vomiting. Sometimes just the smell or taste of vomit can lead you to vomit again. Brushing your teeth or rinsing your mouth can reduce this.
