10 Tips for Pregnancy-Induced Nausea
Here are my top 10 things to help with pregnancy-induced nausea...
1. Motion sickness bracelets -- make sure to replace when the elasticity wears off (this is one thing that has been studied and appears to help a lot of women) and EmeTerm Relieve Nausea Electrode Stimulator- I find this to be very helpful in reducing my nausea. When I do not have it on, I feel a huge difference in how I feel.
2. My nettle ginger tea (let me know if you want the recipe) and raspberry leaf tea
3. Frozen grapes and frozen cherries by @woodstockfoods
4. Nagami Kumquats or anything sour
5. Take sips of water throughout the day. I found too much at a time made me feel sick.
6. Rubbing one drop of peppermint essential oil on the temples of my head.
7. @tasharose.herbalist organic red raspberry tea. Use code DRORGANICMOMMY or @tradmedicinals pregnancy teas (yes, all the tea helps! and nice to vary it up)
8. Keeping cool, as overheating (especially a hot shower) can sometimes raise your blood pressure causing you to feel nauseated
9. For me, I found that it helped to lie down flat on the floor and put my legs up against the wall. I find that placing an icepack on my head works as well. Follow or Dm @tasharose.herbalist for this yoga pose
10. Sleep (which is impossible but a girl can dream...). I find this Ancient Minerals magnesium spray works too when I run on or massage it in. Make sure you check with your doctor first.
I have entered the second trimester and I am finally feeling better. I still have a lot of nausea but luckily I haven't vomited. I am convinced that all my tricks have been helping.
