If you are having Nausea these days, thanks to that little grape-sized baby you’re carrying, there is good news for you… Your doctor can give you Anti-nausea Pre-natal pills. They aren’t as nutrient filled as the regular kind, but they are perfect for weeks 6-12 when nausea is at its peak.

There are 3 main causes of morning sickness–Hormones, Stress levels, and Fatigue. Multiple baby pregnancy usually means more intense symptoms. Some women do not experience morning sickness and this does not mean there is something wrong. Other women are so bad off, they need to be in the hospital to say hydrated. Rarely though, does the sickness that comes with pregnancy interfere with baby’s nutrition.

Other things you can do–
Cool rags on your face, wrists, and neck/throat area
stay hydrated to avoid additional muscle pain
Keep a little (nutritious) food in your stomach all day–not eating can cause nausea
Extra sleep and reduce stress
Acupuncture depending on severity
Get someone else to do the chores that involve smells: garbage, dishes, cooking,etc.

And remember, this too, shall pass.
