3 Remedies That Morning Sickness You'll Definitely Want To Know About

By Natalie Barbee


Pregnancy makes your body's hormones go crazy and sometimes this causes morning sickness, where you always feel nauseous and you sometimes even vomit. Morning sickness only lasts three months at the most, but for the women going through it the symptoms may seem to go on forever. You'll be glad to know that there are a few remedies for morning sickness symptoms, some of which are listed below.

Even though it doesn't seem like it would help, exercise is a great remedy for morning sickness symptoms. Let's just say that you don't feel like training for a triathalon when you're pregnant, am I right? But if you use gentle exercise during your pregnancy, you'll look and feel better and you will also help to alleviate your morning sickness symptoms. Sometimes gyms have special exercise classes specifically for women who are pregnant, so that may be worth looking into. Yoga is another exercise that's great for pregnant women because it teaches you breath control, stretching and relaxation and it's very low impact. If a class is out of the question, you can always just head outside for a nice peaceful walk. Sure, you're not supposed to move around too much when you're pregnant, but a little exercise will actually help you alleviate some of the discomfort associated with morning sickness.

Essential oils can also be used to heal yourself of morning sickness symptoms. It's also common for pregnant women to a heightened sensitivity to certain odors. There are bad smells, of course, but the good ones can be beneficial, and that's why many advocate aromatherapy for morning sickness relief. If you want an odor that really helps with morning sickness, then try peppermint oil. Peppermint is typically used for digestion but you can also drink it in tea form, but when you use it in the aromatherapy remedy, you will get the perks right away. Peppermint oil dropped into hot water has the same effect as the aromatherapy so don't worry if you don't have the equipment. Most women find that when they do this while they sleep, their symptoms aren't very bad in the morning. There are of course other essences that work such as lemon or lavender in curing morning sickness symptoms.

If you discover that you are experiencing morning sickness a lot, you might want to check to see that you're getting enough rest at night. Most pregnant women don't think of napping because they're not used to napping and they always feel that they're more tired afterwards. But in the case of being pregnant, you're actually supposed to take naps while you are pregnant. Just remember that no amount of napping can replace a night of solid sleep. If you don't sleep enough, you will only make your morning sickness worse, so always try to get plenty of rest at night.

If morning sickness makes you want to stay in bed, listen to it and get your rest. As long as you remember to use the remedies above, and you remember that morning sickness only lasts a few months, you'll get through this time much more easily.
