Due Date Club December 2006:To avoid Morning Sickness and Heart Burn

Morning Sickness
Typically morning sickness only causes trouble the first trimester, but some unlucky moms experience nausea their entire pregnancy. What can you do?

Cut out excessively fatty and spicy foods.
Avoid strong odors such as coffee and garlic.
Eat several small meals instead of three large ones.
Try acupressure; wear sea bands three quarter of an inch down your wrist in between tendons.
Infuse bathwater with grapefruit, orange, mandarin or lime aromatherapy oils.
Try ginger. If you don’t like the taste of it raw, try ginger tea or invest in some all natural ginger ale at your local health food store.
Take 10-20 g of vitamin B6.
Try homeopathic remedies such as Nux Vomica 30C, Sepia 30C or Ipecuana 30c three times daily for five days.
Try supplementing with two slippery elm tablets during each meal, which help soothe the digestive track.
Heartburn
Many of the remedies that work for morning sickness also work for heartburn. Heartburn is common during pregnancy because the hormones released in a woman’s body soften the valve between the stomach and esophagus, allowing gastric acids to settle in the esophagus causing a burning sensation. Try these tips for reducing and preventing heartburn:
Eat smaller meals more often.
Avoid trigger foods including highly acidic, spicy and fatty foods.
Avoid wearing tight clothing after eating which can worsen symptoms.
Chew fennel or sip an herbal tea with fennel in it which might reduce irritation.
Homeopathic remedies to try include Arsenicum 6c and Natrum Phosphoricum 6c taken three times daily.
Slippery elm powder (1 teaspoon) may also help ease burning and irritation. Try some added to your food or in tea.
