4 Tips for Dealing with Morning Sickness

July 7, 2017 by Bethanie Ryan

Morning sickness is a common negative effect of pregnancy. Here are some tips for dealing with morning sickness:

  1. Sleep Well, Eat Healthily, and Keep Up Your Fluids
    Give yourself plenty of time to get out of bed, eating something in the morning so that you have food in your stomach, drinking lots of fluids, avoiding spicy and greasy foods right before bed. Sipping a high-quality ginger ale or ginger tea helps alleviate morning sickness for many women.
  2. Try Sea-Bands  Sea-Bands are available from most pharmacies and can be inexpensive as $10. These are drug-free wristbands that use acupuncture help control nausea.
  3. Consider Preggie Pops®
    Preggie Pops® help reduce nausea, alleviate dry mouth, and provide a quick energy boost. In addition to being drug-free, these all-natural pops and drops reduce morning sickness using essential oils, and Preggie Pop Drops Plus contain vitamin B6, which has been shown to greatly improve nausea symptoms caused by morning sickness and is a welcome alternative to medicines that might relieve morning sickness but can cause harm to your baby.
  4. When to Contact Your Doctor
    If the nausea and vomiting are severe, you can pass only small amounts of urine or if it is dark in color, you can’t keep down liquids, your heart races, you feel dizzy or faint when you stand up, or you vomit blood, contact your doctor as soon as possible. There are several anti-nausea medications that are safe to take during pregnancy. Sometimes, intravenous fluids are needed for severe vomiting.

A woman out of work recently sent us the following A woman out of work recently sent us the following email. We wanted to share her thoughts with you:
The most common feelings I experience as an unemployed job seeker: 
1. Rejection/Sorrow. Something is wrong with me… because it cannot be that I don't have more than the required training or education or experience... so it must be me.
2. Anxiety from inadequacy of effort. Something would come along if I just tried harder (more than daily searches, weekly job clubs, outreaches on LinkedIn, etc.).
3. Aloneness. Other people with fewer skills, less education and experience… are getting jobs. They won't understand how alone I am in this. Other people must have a lot of resources to not have to work for this long, and I am barely making it and can't afford things now. I am alone in this.
4. Hopelessness. Scores of applications and letters to employers have gone unanswered for weeks and now months. What's the use?
5. Blaming myself and/or self-doubt. Why didn't I see the writing on the wall and find something while I still had a job? I guess I really am as stupid as these employers think I am.
6. Confusion. I am now out of my routine, so things don't fall into place like they once did. Am I getting dementia? Is this normal?
7. Anger. If my employer thought I was so great to give me a very good review several years in a row, why haven't they told me of other available jobs after this one ended? Shame on them!
8. Embarrassment. People may think I lost my job because I was a marginal or lazy employee. They don't know how hard I worked, and that the termination was due to issues not of my doing. They may see me as someone who deserved this.
9. Fear. What if I can't find a job in time before we lose our place to live?
10. Happiness. It can be a good thing to start over sometimes.
