Sometimes feeling sick may actually mean you are hungry and regular small snacks can help by boosting your energy levels

Foods high in carbohydrates and protein help fight nausea. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables and carbohydrate-rich foods like bread, plain baked potato, plain biscuits or crackers. Avoid hard-to-digest, high-fat foods that leave the stomach slower than carbohydrates and proteins, thereby aggravating the nausea.

Drink plenty of fluids such as water, herb teas, diluted fruit juice, sparkling mineral water and/or other soft drinks in between meals to replace the fluids you're losing by vomiting and to help neutralize stomach acids. Drink in between meals, rather than with meals (about an hour after solids), which helps to prevent distention of the stomach that may trigger vomiting. Don't drink alcohol - you probably wouldn't want to anyway and it can be bad for your baby.

Ginger, the spicy root that is used to flavor some of our most beloved exotic dishes, is also praised for its many medicinal properties. Ginger is a time-proven remedy for cramps, indigestion and upset stomach.

Some people have found herbal teas to be helpful. However, like drugs, most herbal teas are made from plants and some caution is necessary. The following list of herbal teas are not known to cause birth defects: peppermint, red and black raspberry, spearmint, slippery elm, dandelion, ginger. Chamomile has also been suggested but must be taken with caution because of possible allergic reactions.

Traditionally, Wild Yam has been used for cramps and the relief of morning sickness from pregnancy. It is relaxing and soothing in neuralgia, is said to help expel gas from the system, and is also used for pain in the urinary tract. It has been used to prevent miscarriage.

• Eat lightly seasoned foods.
• Sit upright after meals to reduce the frequency of stomach upset (gastric reflux).
• A snack such as yogurt, milk, juice, bread or a small sandwich before going to bed or during the night may help to reduce nausea in the morning. However, you may need to sit upright for 10-20 minutes following eating to prevent gastric reflux.
• Get out of bed slowly. Avoid sudden movements.
• Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after eating.
• Slowly sip a carbonated beverage or carbonated water when feeling nauseated.
• Fresh air may help. Take a short walk, or try sleeping with the window open.
• Eat or drink something sour like lemon or a sour pickle.
• Try sucking on peppermints. It really helps temporarily. Drink something called "Essence of Peppermint Oil" mixed with a half cup of water.
• Try gelatin desserts, flavored frozen desserts, broth, non-diet ginger ale, sugared decaffeinated teas, and pretzels.
• Changing the type of vitamins you're taking may help. The iron in prenatal vitamins can bother some women. If you think your morning sickness is related to your vitamins, talk with your doctor.
