9 natural morning sickness fixes that moms swear by
Evidenced by the plot of every sitcom and rom-com ever made, one of the telltale signs of pregnancy is morning sickness. And while this may make for a fun and whimsical half-hour of TV, dealing with morning sickness IRL — that can actually last all day long — is no laughing matter.
If your new bundle of joy is causing an upset stomach or the pregnant-lady pukes, you’re in good company. Anywhere from 70 to 85 percent of pregnant womenexperience nausea or vomiting during pregnancy, for anywhere from two to six hours per day and often in the afternoon or evening. And an estimated 0.5 to 2 percent of women experience morning sickness so severe that it may cause a danger to mother and baby, often diagnosed as hyperemesis gravidarum, making it important to visit your doctor right away.
For the expectant moms who’d just like to keep some food down, one of these natural remedies might cure what ails ya or, at the very least, make you feel a little bit better.
