Wish I would have tried some of the things mentioned from this site to help with the horrible morning sickness that plagued me for three full months - 24 hours a day. Maybe you'll find something here that works for you:

Here is a preview:

From Gina . . . This is my first pregnancy and what I've found is that coffee (only one cup) helps to soothe my nausea. I start work at 5 am and that's the only thing around that early in the morning. It does sound kooky, but it works for me.

From Tania . . . For morning sickness, the only thing that seems to work for me is scotch mints. For some reason I have a horrible taste in my mouth that make me feel incredibly ill, peppermint is the thing that gets rid of that icky taste.

From Carol, mommy to 9 and our 10th due any day . . . Two fingers pressed firmly but gently on the your belly button, just for a minute, it will stop the nausea. Sounds crazy but it works!!! Not just my experience but it has been confirmed to me by several friends, personally and from sharing this over the internet on different digests I belong to. It is also very, very effective for heartburn! I learned this from my sister who was told by a naturopath to do this for nausea and heartburn related to gall bladder problems. It is also a terrific thing to remember when you're in a restaurant and the little guy starts to look up-chucky :-)

From Leigh . . . For me here in my third pregnancy the only thing that seems to keep the nausea at bay is chewing a piece of spearmint or other sort of mint gum, the minty flavor helps my stomach to settle when it is especially nauseous.
