Nausea and Vomiting in pregnancy, commonly called morning sickness, can actually occur at any time of day. Experts are unsure of the exact reasons for it, but believe that it may be due to the rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels, or a reaction to changing hormones. About half of all pregnant woman experience morning sickness.

Some Women Have Tried...

  • Eat smaller meals more frequently to keep your blood sugar levels constant.

  • Eat something right before you go to bed, preferable a protein food which will take longer to digest.

  • If you wake up at night to use the bathroom, stop by the kitchen and eat a small snack to keep your blood sugar level up.

  • Avoid foods that trigger nausea for you.

  • Try eating the foods you crave, within reason.

  • Keep crackers near your bed for you to nibble on before you get up.

  • Try drinking your fluids after your meal, not during.
