Morning sickness is the term given to the feeling of nausea and vomiting when the woman is pregnant. This type of heaviness is felt generally in the morning when the blood sugar level is down. However, it must not be thought that morning sickness can occur only in the morning. Episodes of such sicknesses can be felt through the day, right up to late afternoon.

Many pregnant women experience morning sickness during pregnancy. The exact cause is not known, however it is likely due to hormonal and metabolic changes that are occurring. Some herbs may offer help for morning sickness, but do not take any herbal remedy while pregnant until you discuss it first with your doctor.

Treatment:

1. One of the best morning sickness home remedies is taking the prenatal vitamin a few hours before your expected episode of nausea. The idea here is to have your body in the process of digesting a very nutritious vitamin when it feels sick. You're body will be very reluctant to vomit because it will lose the vitamin.

2. Try to breathe fresh air. It is very helpful for calming nausea. Every place you are going try to open the windows and let the fresh air in. Also try not being around people who are smoking.

3. Dehydration is another common problem that accompanies morning sickness, so you'll want to tank up on a lot of liquid. Aside from water, lemonade is very helpful, as the scent of lemons has actually been proven to help control the nausea that accompanies morning sickness. Naturally, avoid alcohol while pregnant. For those of you who want to ignore this warning because they don;t care about their developing baby's welfare, then think on this instead: alcohol causes dehydration. Dehydration causes hang overs. Pregnancy amplifies physical sensitivity. Do the math, and stay away from the booze, ladies.

4. Avoiding warm places is beneficial because heat tends to increase nausea. Also remember to listen to your body. If your body needs a nap, you should go ahead and take one. Same goes for food cravings. If your body is craving something then you should by all means follow through with the craving. Your body knows what it wants and it will not steer you wrong.

5. Try to avoid spicy, fatty or greasy foods, in other words, don't eat curries, fries and things like that, or at least don't eat much of them. These types of foods will likely only make you feel worse and are basically just not good for your health in general, you should try to replace these things with healthier alternatives, at least during your pregnancy.

6. Due to its strong but pleasant odor, the lemon is extremely beneficial in the treatment of morning sickness. When the woman feels the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, just sniffing at the juice or the peel of a lemon is enough to stop the morning sickness.
