Morning : Morning sickness can happen any time of the day and occurs in more than half of all pregnancies. A few tips that can help are: - sniffing lemons of ginger, drinking lemonade, or eating watermelon can help with nausea - eat salty potato chips - this can actually settle the stomach! - take "sips" instead of "glugs". Drinking a large amount of fluid all at once can induce vomiting with an upset stomach - try eating soda crackers first thing in the morning - avoid foods and smells that cause nausea - get plenty of rest - exercise can also help with nausea if she continues to be unable to keep anything down or if you are concerned about dehydration, call her doctor. There is a condition called hyperemesis gravidum in which women have excessive nausea and vomiting and may require IV fluids. Good luck!

First, : First, congratulations to your girlfriend and you on your pregnancy, but it's probably hard for her to be overjoyed about the upcoming addition to your family when she's deathly ill all day long. In addition, it's difficult to deal with anemia when you can't even keep your vitamins down. There are any number of alternative and home remedies for morning sickness, including vitamin b6 (250 to 500 mg daily), soda crackers, ginger, raspberry leaf tea, acupuncture, hypnosis, and special diets. Your girlfriend might obtain some benefit from any of these approaches. However, if she can't seem to keep anything at all on her stomach, she might need IV fluids and medications to get things under control. I've attached some links that might be useful. If home remedies and dietary modifications don't do the trick, don't hesitate to call the doctor. Good luck! http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/morning-sickness/ds01150 http://www.Americanpregnancy.Org/pregnancyhealth/morningsickness.Html http://www.Babycenter.Com/morning-sickness.
