What tried-and-tested remedies will help?
No doubt you're already avoiding any foods and smells that make your stomach churn. To prevent or at least minimise queasiness you may also want to:
? Keep some simple snacks, such as plain biscuits, by your bedside. Then give yourself some extra time in the morning to nibble a few dry biscuits, and then rest for 20 to 30 minutes before getting out of bed.
? Eat small, frequent meals. An empty stomach can increase nausea. Aim for foods high in protein or carbohydrates, as both can help fight nausea.
? Your doctor may suggest taking 50mg of vitamin B6 twice a day, which helps some women, but do check with your doctor before taking it.
? If you're taking an antenatal supplement, try discontinuing it temporarily. If the nausea improves, give yourself a few off and then try taking it again.
? Since iron can be hard on your digestive system, don't take iron supplements unless a blood test shows that you are anaemic. Even then, it's worth trying different brands as some may suit you better than others.
? You may need to eat what and when you fancy for a while, but try to avoid rich, spicy, acidic or fried foods, and eat less fat in general.
? Though it's important to keep yourself well hydrated, try drinking fluids only between meals, and limit them during meals.
? Keep snacks on hand. Try eating small amounts of bland food throughout the day. Good choices include dry biscuits, yoghurt (high in B vitamins, which can decrease nausea), or anything else you can bear to eat.
? Sniff lemons. The smell of a cut lemon may help your nausea. Add some slices to iced tea or sparkling water.
? Drink ginger ale or ginger tea. Ginger is known to settle stomachs and help queasiness.
