Morning sickness thoughts or suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Just curious what your thoughts are on " morning sickness " , which for me

seems to manifest as all day nausea (having 8 children so far, I do have

a little experience with pregnancy symptoms, so I know this nausea

well. Accompanied by exhaustion, it's definitely " morning sickness " ,

not a healing reaction type thing.).

I was hopeful that not consuming any carbs, except a few non-starchy

veggies, staying withing ratio, would be a deterrent to the queazies,

but they seem to hitting with just as much force as before, today even

seems worse.

The mainstream advice to nibble crackers or sip ginger-ale certainly

isn't a possibility. So far, my attempts to eat smaller meals more

frequently has helped a little, but food is so unappealing that eating

every 2-3 hours is proving difficult. But going longer than that

actually makes it worse. I experienced that in the past, and it's

holding true this time as well, so far.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

How about slicing some ginger into a pot and steeping it, and then drinking

the ‘tea’ .

It helps me combat nausea/motion sickness and may work for you too.

For a standard size pot I use approximately 1 ½ inches of ginger cut into

slices and steep

five minutes. Discard ginger slices and enjoy.

Soothing….straight to the point. Can also be taken cooled if you prefer.

I find it soothing

with boiling water though, like tea.

HTH,

+++Hi ,

Like someone else advised you can drink raw ginger tea:

I also suggest you make up a lot of mineral-rich bone broth and have lots of it

since your appetite is bad:

I bought large cut-up beef bones that had lots of marrow in them, and I started

a big pot Sunday. The marrow in them is so nutritious - see this article:

I don't think you should avoid carbs; instead cook vegetables until they are

well done as this article explains:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/veg3.php

You can puree the vegetables too, which makes them easier to digest, and add

them to the bone broth. I think the best vegetables are broccoli, cauliflower,

and green beans.

Since you've been pregnant before being pregnant again can trigger memories of

it from before. Do deep breathing exercises to help get focused more in the

here and now. Also take walks outside and look around a lot, to help your mind

get more into present time instead of in the past.

I hope you get past this very soon.

All the best, Bee
